It's official - the summer sheets have been pulled and the flannel sheets are on the bed

My guess is we'll have a heatwave the next 3-4 weeks

But I my Eddie Bauer Flannel sheets that I've had for 4 years now. They are so comfy and they don't look like flannel sheets. (meaning they have a nice pleasant pattern on them not something that looks like it came out of a hunting lodge).

seasonal sheets? Never heard of such a thing...endless summer in the south negates the need I reckon.

3 for summer and 2 for winter.

Look on the brightside if you're at my place a good chance the sheets are clean.

Doesn't flannel react like a supermassive black hole towards cat hair?

it's a problem wearing a flannel nightie with flannel sheets - when you roll over, the nightie sticks to the sheets like Velcro, and you end up all turned around in your twisted nightgown!

Been snuggling in my EB flannel nightgown lately and I do love those oh_so_soft sheets. We'll be putting up Frost-king over the windows our new (old) home. [IMG][/IMG]

Not that cold here yet, but I found in the last couple of years that sleeping under or over micro-fleecy sheet or blanket is the ultimate in winter comfort. I have a Calvin Klein micro blanket that I bought at Ross, and I LUV it.

at the end of last winter and I lurv them!!! I have flannel too, but I do love the fleece, they're so soft I've had them on the bed a few times last year so they've been washed a few times, so much softer!

I got them at Khols, very good sale. I never shop at Khols, ran in there for something and saw them, picked up two sets for me and two for my son.
