For those seeking warmth, comfort, and the peak of softness for their bedroom, flannelette sheets are an unbeatable choice. These winter bed sheets offer unparalleled coziness, creating a haven of comfort during the colder months. We've curated a collection that showcases our range of flannelette sheets, attributing their feel & composition to why they're an excellent choice for those desiring a warmer, softer bed.
Flannelette sheets are distinguished by their unique manufacturing step: brushed fibres. The brushing process involves gently raising the fibres on the surface of the fabric, creating a fuzzy texture that is incredibly soft, somewhat reminiscent of sherpa fleece. This brushing technique enhances the comfort of the sheets, not only through added softness but making them better and trapping the heat your body makes. They are the only sheet made using this process, making them a unique option, ideal for cold-weather climates or for anyone who might struggle to stay warm at night.
When it comes to the feel of flannelette bed sheets, we classify them as ‘cosy’. They are soft, flexible, and warm quickly to the touch. They also don’t feel as cold at room temperature, like cotton sateen and tencel sheeting options.
If you’d like to learn about other sheeting options, particularly other fabric types and how they feel, browse our curated bed sheets collection, where we’ve included only the best of endless sheeting options on the market.

Choosing Flannelette For a Cozy Sleep
For some people, flannelette is the ultimate winter sheet for this alone, as some of us don’t like the sensation of having to warm up our sheets first before being able to relax in bed.
Compared to other sheet fabrics, flannelette provides an unmatched combination of softness, breathability, and warmth, with possibly the exception of the jersey. When placed side by side with Jersey sheets, it’s easy to compare the two as jersey has an unmistakable but slight stretch, whereas with flannelette there is no added stretch. Or other cotton sheets, which feel crisp or smooth in comparison to the soft, fluffy surface of flannelette. Flannelette is well-known for its warm and insulating properties, which is why flannelette quilt covers and other bedding has been developed more in the last decade. Pair a set of flannelette sheets with a flannelette quilt cover for added warmth and overall softness, with a feather & down or 500gsm wool doona to maximise heat retention.
