While flannel sheets are commonly associated with warmth, we were impressed by the set’s breathability; we never felt too warm and didn’t need to kick them off throughout the night. The flannel’s weight struck a perfect balance, feeling light yet warm enough to keep us toasty in colder months. We appreciated that the material was comfortably heavy without being too restrictive or cumbersome to fold. The sheets didn’t bunch or shift on the mattress, either.

Following the initial wash, we observed that these sheets didn’t pill, but there was a slight width-wise shrinking. That said, Land’s End has a proactive approach to shrinking: The brand makes its flat sheets longer and its fitted sheets deeper to account for flannel’s tendency to shrink. We noticed a few loose threads upon arrival, though the sheets endured limited wear or tear after six months of use. Available in six sizes and 11 solid colors, we think this set would be a versatile addition to any bedroom.
