Best flannelette sheets for hot sleepers

Flannelette sheets were designed to trap heat, so they shouldn’t be the first choice for hot sleepers. That said, if you’re a hot sleeper and you’re still keen to try flannelette, opt for 100% breathable cotton flannelette over synthetic microfibre and look for a lighter 130-160 GSM.

This sheet set, which includes a fitted sheet, flat sheet and two pillowcases, is brushed on both sides, meaning you get that soft feel no matter which way you use it. The range also includes the same-material flannelette quilt covers, so you can mix and match designs and colours.
