Is cotton flannel warmer than regular cotton sheets?

Yes. Brushing raises fibers on both sides, trapping air and holding warmth, so it feels warmer than percale or sateen cotton of the same weight.

Flannel can pill, especially with friction and heat. Wash cold on a gentle cycle and line dry or tumble low to slow it down.

Does it fit a deep mattress?

The fitted sheet is made for mattresses up to 15 inches deep. Mattresses right at that limit may need the corners worked down firmly.

Not really. It is built for warmth, so hot sleepers and summer use are better served by a lighter cotton weave.

Cold water, mild detergent, no fabric softener, and low or line drying. High heat is what causes most shrinkage and pilling.

A flat sheet, a fitted sheet and pillowcases, all in the same brushed cotton flannel.
