  • Why? Why flannelette?

    Buy a good mattress overlay - I have a JL feather one which is deep and fluffed up daily and aired weekly and is warm - no need for electric blanket or hot water bottle - as soon as you get in you warm up. It moulds to your body and breathes. Summer or winter.

    So cotton/polyester whatever sheets go over it.

    I hated the 'bobbly' feel of flannelette sheets when I was a child.
    But not half as much as nylon sheets! :eek:

    I love getting into bed on cold 100% cotton sheets - even in the winter. They soon warm up.
