I had suggested those I hope you like them. I had never used flannel sheets until now. I wash them separately so they don't shed on anything else and make sure to clean the lint trap after you dry them each time. They create a lot of lint.

I love them. They are very soft and cozy.

For those of you who like flannel sheets, how do you keep them soft after multiple washings? When I used them, I didn’t care for the way they felt after they had been washed a few times. That’s why I switched to fleece sheets and I like them much better - still really soft after being washed many times.

Gams, mine are still soft, but I have only been using them for a few months.

We don't like flannel sheets, but percale sheets feel pretty cold in the winter. My husband just picked up some sheets at Target which he said were called "sateen". That's hard to believe, because there's nothing satiny about them, but I really like them. They don't have that cold feeling the percale sheets have.

what i don't understand is why they include such a detailed care guide for their linens? If i pay this much i'm going to use a private linen service to take care of my sheets.

I did not even know fleece sheets existed. I bought ha set from Amazon and I love them! Thanks for posting about them.

I am late to this thread, but love LL Bean flannel sheets. I'm up in MN, where it's cold and they are really warm.

I also like the microfiber "Amazon basics" sheets.

I have a few sets of these sheets from Amazon. They're very comfortable.
