Warning about cheap sleeping bag liners shrinking after one wash

I see so many new campers buying those $20 fleece liners and tossing them in the dryer on high... they come out doll-sized. I measured mine before and after a cold wash with low heat, it lost 6 inches in length. Anyone else had theirs shrink way more than expected?

Wait, you actually measured the difference? I always just thought people were overreacting when they complained about liner shrinkage. But 6 inches is a real problem, not just a minor annoyance. Guess I owe those warnings a second look after all.
