Which is better for hot sleepers?

The Eddie Bauer Griffin. Percale is a plain, tight weave that breathes and feels cool, while flannel traps warmth.

Which fits a thick mattress?

The Eddie Bauer Griffin, at up to 18 inches deep. The Laura Ashley Vanessa tops out at 15 inches.

The Laura Ashley Vanessa feels softer immediately because the flannel is brushed. Percale starts crisp and softens after several washes.

Is the higher thread count worth it?

Not on its own. Percale's 200 vs flannel's 136 reflects different weaves, not quality. Weave and fabric weight matter more than the number here.

Percale generally holds up longer. Brushed flannel tends to pill and thin with repeated washing, though both are cotton and wear depends on care.

Are both sets four pieces?

Yes. Each queen set includes a flat sheet, a fitted sheet and two pillowcases.
