Another thing I really like it is sized to allow for shrinkage. I've washed ours multiple times and it still fits perfectly. Hope this helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dryer-friendly-mattress-cover#post-1404612 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 17:04:02 +0000 MamaG 1404612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have always air dried ours as I was worried about melting. We have two for this reason. It dries fairly quickly (overnight) but I just put the other on while waiting for the drying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dryer-friendly-mattress-cover#post-1404600 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 17:01:57 +0000 autumnlove 1404600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: Yes, sheet over mattress! No issues yet...but we haven't started potty training yet! Maybe I will get one when she sleeps in underwear at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dryer-friendly-mattress-cover#post-1404564 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 16:53:41 +0000 bunnylove08 1404564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have a couple of skiphop covers and they have been fine in the dryer </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dryer-friendly-mattress-cover#post-1404368 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 16:01:49 +0000 LovelyPlum 1404368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MerryC: thank you! That's what I'm looking for-something to keep the mattress dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dryer-friendly-mattress-cover#post-1404345 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:53:24 +0000 twinmama 1404345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have had that one in three cribs for 18+ months and it's been great. It has been waterproof for us, as in, the mattress stays dry. I wash the sheets more often than the pad, but the pad has held up in the dryer without any issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dryer-friendly-mattress-cover#post-1404328 Thu, 06 Feb 2014 15:49:21 +0000 LovelyPlum 1404328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: good to know, thanks!</p> <p>@autumnlove: so you just put the sheet right over the mattress?</p> <p>@sweet_p: can I ask, is it waterproof? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dryer-friendly-mattress-cover#post-1402472 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 23:45:43 +0000 sweet_p 1402472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have this one and haven't had any issues: <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2304185&#038;cp=2255957.2273443.2440535.2647462.3250056&#038;parentPage=family" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2304185&#038;cp=2255957.2273443.2440535.2647462.3250056&#038;parentPage=family</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dryer-friendly-mattress-cover#post-1402471 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 23:43:59 +0000 autumnlove 1402471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never used one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dryer-friendly-mattress-cover#post-1402374 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 22:24:19 +0000 mrs. wagon 1402374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every single mattress pad I have had has melted and gotten ruined in the dryer. And I use low heat gentle cycle. So I just air dry! They dry really fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dryer-friendly-mattress-cover#post-1402362 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 22:17:28 +0000 LovelyPlum 1402362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pancakes: oh awesome, thanks! </p> <p>Maybe this was just a wacky Amazon review and I'm getting freaked over nothing.

We have 2 as well, and we've used them for almost 3 years now with no issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dryer-friendly-mattress-cover#post-1402343 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 22:08:02 +0000 LovelyPlum 1402343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@danda: thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dryer-friendly-mattress-cover#post-1402334 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 22:02:17 +0000 danda 1402334@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That looks like the exact one we have. We haven't had any issues yet...we have two and they've been regularly used for only three months (before that DD wasn't sleeping in crib yet). I always wash in cold water/ gentle cycle and dry on low heat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dryer-friendly-mattress-cover#post-1402324 Wed, 05 Feb 2014 21:59:05 +0000 LovelyPlum 1402324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I am registered for this mattress pad from American Baby Company: </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001KZH69C?tag=blself-20" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001KZH69C?tag=blself-20</a></p> <p>Now, I'm reading that it may not hold up well in the dryer. Does anyone have experience with this? What do you use? </p>
