What size washer will wash a king size comforter depends on comforter thickness and fill, but generally you need 4.5 cubic feet or larger washer for king size comforter, with 5.0 to 5.5 cubic feet recommended for thick down comforters. A standard king size comforter measures about 90 by 102 inches and is bulky, requiring enough drum space to tumble freely and get clean. Top-load washers: need at least 4.5 cubic feet, but 5.0 to 5.5 cubic feet is better to avoid overloading that strains motor and suspension, models like Maytag MVW7232HW 5.3 cu. ft. and LG WT7305CV 5.0 cu. ft. handle king comforters well. Front-load washers: need at least 4.5 cubic feet, front-load are better for comforters as they use tumbling action and less water, models like Maytag MHW6630HW 4.8 cu. ft. and LG WM4000H 4.5 cu. ft. can wash king comforters. For very thick down king comforters, 5.0 cubic feet or larger is recommended. Avoid washing king comforter in washers under 4.0 cubic feet as it will not clean properly and can damage washer due to imbalance. If your washer is too small, use laundromat commercial washer with 6.0 to 8.0 cubic feet capacity that can handle king comforters easily. Always check care label and use gentle cycle with extra rinse.
