Which is better for hot sleepers?

The Eddie Bauer percale set. Percale is a plain, breathable weave that stays cooler, while flannel traps warmth.

Which fits a thicker mattress?

The Eddie Bauer set fits mattresses up to 16 inches deep. The Laura Ashley flannel set tops out at 15 inches.

The Laura Ashley flannel feels softer out of the bag because it is brushed. Percale starts crisp and softens with washing.

Percale generally holds up longer. Flannel is more prone to pilling and thinning with frequent washing.

Is the Eddie Bauer set worth more than the Laura Ashley set?

It depends on the price gap at the store. The Eddie Bauer set offers a higher thread count, deeper pockets and a higher rating, but flannel buyers may still prefer the Laura Ashley for warmth.

Do both come as 4-piece sets?

Yes. Both are 4-piece sets with deep pockets and 30 x 20 inch pillowcases.
