This is super comfortable and well built.  I read a lot of reviews on here saying that it shrunk a lot, so I bought it big.  I washed it in cold on the delicate cycle and hung it to dry.  The shrinkage was barely noticable.  Cotton flannel will shrink in the dryer.  That's just a fact.  If you want it a little softer after you hang-dry it, you can always fluff it in the dryer for a couple of minutes.  But if you dry it on a line, or shower curtain it will be fine.  I plan on buying a couple more of these.
