If you’re never bought flannel before but are ready to take the plunge, there’s a few things you need to know. Unlike traditional cotton sheets, flannel is sold by weight not thread count. Simply put, the heavier the fabric, the more durable the sheets.
We’ve found the best flannel sheet sets on the market — ones that are soft and attractive but also wear well over time and won’t bust your budget. Sweet dreams.
