Flannel Sheets Queen – Tips for New Shoppers

Flannel sheets queen sized can be bought in a lot of department stores across the country. Even though availability is not an issue, I met a lot of people who ended up with more linen than they can ever use because they didn’t know what to buy. Here are some tips for first-time shoppers.

Benefits

Flannel sheets are insulating, and they are widely used during all of the the cold season which could already start in August and – if cold luck strikes – until April. The combination of wool and cotton makes them soft and fuzzy and perfect for the cold autumn or winter nights.

Properties and Composition

Flannel sheets are made of wool or alternatively a mixture of wool and cotton, usually combined with other materials. While you should aim for a very high percentage of wool, some say it’s very good to have between 5 and 10% polyester in the composition of your sheets. Some low share of synthetic fiber ensures durability, especially if you are going to regularly clean your sheets in the washing machine.

The Thread Count

With flannel sheets queen sized as with any other sheets the thread count is defined as the number of threads per square inch of fabric.

I know we all want fuzzy sheets that would make us want to tuck in right there at the store, but looks can sometimes be a lot deceiving. You can get that warm and desired  feeling with some lower quality sheets, but they may get rougher or may tear down after the first or the second wash easily.

Always examine the thread count when shopping for flannel sheets – should be printed somewhere on the label – and make sure you don’t settle for anything below 300. Sheets with thread counts of less than 200 are usually rough (but kind of cheap).

 

For flannel sheets queen better yet, look for sheets with a thread count of over 500, as they are the most comfortable and durable. Granted, they may be a bit more expensive, but the added value is definitely worth the price.

Sizes

Dimensions of queen flannel sheets differ slightly from one manufacturer to another, but they should all be in the range of 90 by 102 inches for flat beddings and 60 x 80 inches for fitted sheets. Make sure you measure your mattress before leaving home to make sure your beddings won’t either be too short or too narrow. Keep in mind that some mattresses are thicker than others, so you may need wider sheets.

Where to buy Flannel Sheets Queen

While queen flannel sheets are widely available with all major retailers across the country, you may be better off getting them online. The main advantage is your comfort: if you value your time like I do, you probably don’t feel like driving to the other side of town, spending hours in traffic only to get bed sheets when you can have them delivered to you for the same price, of maybe even cheaper. A lot of Internet stores keep large stocks of beddings, so availability won’t be a problem. And, if you are in a hurry, you can opt for overnight delivery and have the linens at your doorstep within 24 hours.
