Are Select Comfort materess covers machine washable?
I just washed mine, according to the experience of others online.
I have a queen size cover. I took it to a laundromat and placed it inside a *front loading machine* made to launder fifty pounds of clothes. (It doesn't weigh anywhere near that, but I wanted it to have room to move around in the washer)
I used the gentle cycle. On this machine, that meant the drum turned a couple times, and then stopped for a few seconds, then turned the other way, and stopped again.
I put it in the dryer for about a half hour, then decided the air was free at home. It's now draped across a board at the top of a ladder. I'll move it outside in the morning.
It smells clean and seems fluffier than before the wash.
I would not try this in a home machine, or in a top load machine.
