mattress pad 451 014-careful

Purchased this for my bed. I never owned a mattress pad.  Stated machine wash/dry. Ummm well, sort of!  lol  Label states soak only – do not agitate? Yuck! Arms/back ached after hand washing while it was soaking in machine. So, this old Polack doesnt think that will really clean it!!  I only use 100% cotton sheets as poly caused perspiration. Well, joke on me. Perspiration as this polyester thing is right under sheets. Going back to my old way of using old cotton comforters under my sheets (my mattress is totally encased in zippered plastic covers as the thought of mites would have me purchasing new mattress every year. ha ha) My old cotton full size comforters from guest room cover entire top of queen mattress, gives fluffy top, and so easy to remove cause no elastic, & no dreaded perspiration!!  Sometimes I guess the old way I learned from grandma, is actually the better way. It is for me at least!! If u use only cotton sheets & perspire at night, look a little “deeper” lol  Check fabrication of mattress pad.
