Flannel Sheets

What is flannel? 

Flannel is a soft, brushed cotton fabric recognized for its luxuriously cozy, slightly fuzzy texture. The mechanical brushing process raises the natural cotton fibers to effectively trap body heat while still allowing continuous airflow. This makes flannel sheet sets and comforters the perfect choice for breathable cold-weather or winter bedding.

What makes organic cotton flannel different from regular cotton flannel? 

Our organic cotton flannel sheets are crafted using certified organic cotton, which is sustainably grown with less water than conventional cotton, and without synthetic pesticides or harsh fertilizers. This eco-friendly agricultural process relies on significantly less water irrigation than conventional cotton farming, resulting in high-quality organic flannel bedding that is exceptionally gentle on sensitive skin and less impactful on the environment.

What does GOTS mean?

GOTS (also known as the Global Organic Textile Standard) is a certification standard for goods that are deemed the best choice for green organics. Beyond being synthetic and GMO-free, this standard is only given to environmentally and socially-responsible goods that keep ecology and traceability top of mind.

How can you tell the quality of flannel bedding? 

Unlike standard cotton percale or sateen sheets that are measured by thread count, the quality of flannel bedding is determined by its fabric weight, calculated in grams per square meter (GSM). QE Home’s flannel cotton sheets feature a 170 GSM, offering the ideal balance of durable thickness, pill-resistant softness, and insulating warmth without feeling overwhelmingly heavy.

How do you wash and care for flannel bedding?

Before first use, wash flannel sheets in 1 cup of diluted white vinegar, or add 1 cup of vinegar into the rinse cycle, instead of laundry detergent. This can help reduce and prevent future pilling. Lint loss is a characteristic of brushed flannel. Machine wash separately in cool water on gentle (delicate) cycle. Hang dry or tumble dry on low heat settings. Add QE Home Wool Dryer Balls to reduce wrinkles and increases drying efficiency. For fewer wrinkles, remove promptly from dryer. Do not bleach or dry clean.
