I laundered pad before placing on bed...used slow gentle cycle!  Hung over huge chair to air dry but the underside of cover messed up in washing machine. Will use it but the underside of cover is a mess! Very disappointed. Looked so nice when I received, looked better than one I paid twice as much for.

Pros: Looks beautiful.....
Cons: Laundering ruined it but didn't want it on my bed without washing it first.
