About flannel.

Flannel is a cotton material that is sometimes blended with synthetic fibre making it extremely durable and warm. It gives a snug, comforting feeling, causing even the most frigid of nights to seem warm and cozy.

What about thread count?

Flannel is like other material in that it is rated by thread count, meaning that the higher the thread count, the softer and more luxurious the sheet will be. Thread counts in the two hundred range are the most popular and are more less expensive but anything lower than this can feel rough and scratchy. Thread counts above four hundred will be extremely soft and will always be thicker and more expensive than lower ones. If you are ever in doubt as to the quality of a sheet just hold it up to the light and test it for density.

Rating flannel by mass

Weight density is a rating method by which the material quality is defined by ounces per square yard. Some feel this is a more reliable technique. A high quality flannel should weigh about four ounces per square yard.  Families may need kids fleece bedding in bright colors to liven up the bedrooms of the younger set.

Most sheets arrive in sets which include one fitted sheet, one flat sheet, and two pillowcases but the super single bed sheet sets come with only one pillow case and the California king sets come with pillow cases designed for king size pillows. The remaining sizes come with normal pillowcases. Flannel sheets are sure to make an already attractive bed that much more ideal as they can be found in many different colors and patterns to suit any bedroom decoration.  For the adventurous luxury satin pillow shams will add style, fun and beauty to the master bedroom of the home.
