new flannelette or cotton sheets confusion.

cornishchick

due to an unfortunate accident with some paint! I need to buy some new bedding.
so I figured I would get some flannelette one, as a lot of posters comment on putting these on the bed for winter.
so searching, I get cotton and poly flannel, poly flannel and even cotton flannel.
which ones are the ones I need in your experience and are there any links to good value.?

thank you in advance.

You want brushed cotton or cotton flannel. 

As an example I have a couple of sets of tartan ones from Asda bought a few years ago. 

This looks like this years version

I usually wait until a really dreary day in October before putting them on, its very cheering to snuggle up into them

Poly and cotton flannel in combination, will dry quicker than cotton flannel. Mentioning as this may be important if you are drying inside, over winter.

Get non-iron preferably.

Or just lower your standards and don’t iron ha haa!

Seriously tho. When you go into your shop of choice (Dunelm? Boyes if you have one or is that a northern thing..?) see if you can find a ‘lady of a certain age’ and ask for flannelette sheets. She’ll know. 

I went through 3 minions when I was after WundaWeb before I found a LOACA, she sorted me out in a New York minute 🙂

It is brushed cotton that you want. They are very lovely. We swopped to ours about 3 weeks ago.

There's brushed cotton bedding sets in the Aldi brochure this week.  Buy online from 8am today, in store Thursday 29th.  Looks good.  I've not bought bedding from Aldi, so I don't know how good it is.

I adore microfibre bedding in the winter time . The Cozee Home range from QVC is excellent . It dries very quickly on the line when washed .  Sometimes it's possible to find some on Ebay

I can see our flannelette sheets making an appearance soon - DH has been dropping hints!

Sorry but I hated the cozy home stuff , was like the old bri nylon sheet from my childhood ,really didn’t like them and got rid of a whole set. Flannel sheets/brushed cotton are much nicer and better for temperature control than man made fibres.
