Which is better for winter?

The Eddie Bauer flannel set. Brushed cotton flannel holds warmth, while the Macy's 200 thread count blend is crisp and light.

The Eddie Bauer set has the stronger record: 4.7 stars from 576 ratings versus 3.6 from 18, with buyer complaints about snagging and durability on the Macy's set. Flannel does pill over time, so wash it cold and line dry.

Is the Macy's set worth the extra at its high price?

No. At $47.93 on November 3, 2026 it cost more than the Eddie Bauer set's $44.11 high on November 4, 2026, and it only comes in King. At its $39.00 low it is a fair buy for a crisp King sheet.

Will either fit a deep mattress?

Both list a 15 in maximum depth. Eddie Bauer has no widespread fit complaints; Macy's buyers report the King sheets do not fit a king bed, so check the 78 in by 80 in fitted size against your mattress.

Does the Eddie Bauer set come in Queen?

Yes. It comes in Twin, Full/Double, Queen and King. The Macy's set is King only.

Can I return the Macy's sheets after washing?

No. Buyers report they cannot be returned once washed, so check the fit before the first wash.
