I washed my mattress pad (before using) and got it out of the washing machine to put in the dryer and it was still sopping wet. I put it back In the washer to spin again but there was no change, still sopping wet. I couldn't put it in the dryer with it being so wet so I got a towel and proceeded to dry it off. That was very cumbersome as it is a queen size. It dripped all over the floor during this process and made a big mess. After I toweled off as much as I could, it still was too wet to put in the dryer. I hung it over two chairs and let it dry overnight. I wouldn't recommend this mattress pad to anyone. When I purchased my tempurpedic mattress, the tempurpedic mattress pad I purchased was/is great. I am still using it. I thought if I purchased another tempurpedic mattress pad that it would be the same or better. Disappointingly it was not. The quality of this mattress pad does not correspond with the high price.
