The Premium Supima sheets feel softer and plusher than any other flannel sheets we’ve tried, and after years of long-term testing them, we know they last.

The Best Flannel Sheets

bazaarvoice

Our favorite flannel sheets are warm, soft, and durable. They also come in a handful of checked prints to give your bed a log cabin vibe.

Consistently better than almost every set we’ve tried, these super-soft, well-made flannel sheets should keep you toasty on cold winter nights.

Supersoft, well-made, and reasonably priced, these flannel sheets will keep most people toasty and happy on cold winter nights.

If you're here for the thickest, fluffiest, snuggliest set of flannel bedding you can get your hands on but also want to save a few bucks, the Bare Home Double Brushed Cotton set is a superb choice. These soft and velvety sheets are thick and gloriously warm to wrap up in on cold nights. They're well-made and one of the few options we tested to feature double-stitching along the hems, paired with stronger elastic than most of the others. These feature fairly deep-stretching, 15" pockets, and we love that the fitted sheet also includes a "BOTTOM" tag, so you put the sheet on correctly the first go-round. Even better, with an OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification, you can rest easy knowing that these cozy, luxurious sheets aren't harboring harmful chemicals. 
In an unusual twist, the Bare Home flannels are meant to be shrunk in the wash and come slightly large to accommodate the anticipated shrinkage. After following the included directions precisely, they were still a bit large for our queen bed but managed to stay put all the same. This extra room in the pillowcases and flat sheet actually turned out to be an unexpected treat in a sea of otherwise slightly-smaller-than-ideal bedding sets. If you're a pajama wearer, you may also find that these super fluffy linens cling a bit more than is desired to your clothing, though they're not the clingiest we tested. At the end of the day, these are our top choice for some serious warmth on a budget.
