About flannel.

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

Does thread really count matter?

There are different ways to rate the quality of flannel and thread count is just one of them  Look for thread counts above 200 as below this the fabric can feel uncomfortable  Thread counts above four hundred will be extremely soft and will always be thicker and more expensive than lower ones.  Look at a light through the sheet to visually determine its value as the better sheets will always be more opaque.

Rating flannel by mass

Flannel is a unique fabric in that it is also rated by weight of flannel per square yard which many manufacturers feel to be a more appropriate rating method due to the varying weight of different qualities of fabric.  A high quality flannel should weigh about four ounces per square yard.  Families may want fleece chief and star theme blanket throws in bright colors to liven up the bedrooms of the younger set.

Most sheets come 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 standard pillowcases.  The many colour schemes and design themes of flannel bed sheets produce an almost endless supply of bedroom decor options.  For the adventurous couple black silk bed sheet sets will add style, fun and beauty to the master bedroom of the home.
