Do not fear! Washes and Drys well in the washing machine and dryer as long as they are working normally.

I have these on all three queen size mattresses in my home. They work great for protecting the mattress from moisture and I do feel like it helps considerably with the heat of laying on a memory foam pad. One reviewer left a photo of the mattress pad destroyed by washing. I had that happen once recently. I thought that somehow they had changed the product, and they were no longer washable and dryable. However, I later came to find out that the cold water was being plugged in my washing machine by dirt in the hose filter, so the water in my washing machine was primarily hot and thus it melted the mattress protector. After correcting that issue, I was able to wash one of my other mattress protectors on warm and dry in the dryer on medium heat with no issues. I added a couple of dry bath towels to the dryer when I dried it and it really helped it dry quickly and easily, since it doesn't wring out well in the washer due to the waterproof nature of it.
