What is flannel, anyhow?

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 coldest of nights to seem warm and cozy.

Does thread really count matter?

Flannel is like other fabric in that it is rated by thread count, meaning that the higher the thread count, the softer and more luxurious the sheet will be. Look for thread counts above 200 as below this the fabric can feel stiff Higher thread counts in excess of 400 are a reliable indicator of a luxury sheet. Look at a light through the sheet to visually determine its value as the better sheets will always be more opaque.

Rating flannel by density

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 Stillwater theme blanket throws in bright colors to liven up the bedrooms of the younger set.
