What is a good thread count for flannelette sheets?
Cozying up to a set of flannelette sheets in the colder months can’t be beat. So, when it comes to thread count (TC), we suggest a 180 to 200 TC as the sweet spot for warmth and ultimate snuggle.
Do flannelette sheets keep you warmer?
In short, yes, flannelette sheets do retain heat and keep you warmer than standard sheets. Compared to alternate textiles, flannelette sheets are created with 100 per cent brushed cotton, and in some cases polyester. Both of these materials feature a napped surface which creates a layer of insulation that traps the body heat in.
