Flannel Sheets For Cold Feets
A fabric count of six to eight ounces per square yard is the best choice. The higher the fabric count the more money you will spend, but once you have spent the money you can use them year-round, for in summer they tend to wick moisture away from the body, and they can last for years. There are lightweight flannel sheets specifically designed for the warm summer months.
Are you looking to climb into your bed in the cold of winter and not feel like you are on ice? Then waffled flannel sheets are for you, especially good quality velvet ones made in Portugal or Germany. Waffled flannel sheets are designed specifically to trap warm air and keep you comfortably warm during the cold winter months.
Pilling is what bugs people the most – where the loose fibers form little balls of thread that are scratchy to our skin. Without those loose fibers you would have regular, cold sheets, of course, so perhaps you live with a few pills? Otherwise, you can wash your sheets in a little vinegar and this should remove the pilling.
The good news is that there are ways to help prevent pilling. You can first wash them (using fabric softener) and dry (on low heat) several times to remove the loose filters which are created when the woven sheet is brushed to make it flannel. And if pills do form, they can be removed by a fabric shaver.
So the choice is yours. If you agree that flannel sheets are just right for you, then start your search. Online retailers often offer the best discount for flannel sheets, but you can find amazing deal at local retailers during certain times of the year. It is best to comparison shop both places to ensure you are getting the best price possible.
