Why buy organic flannel sheets?

Usually you will find that flannel sheets are soft and beautifully woven, lasting strong over the years. To ensure you buy good quality flannel sheets, check to be sure its made from 100% pure organic cotton flannel.

Flannel sheets breathe more easily than synthetic fiber, and help to dissipate your body heat so you won’t wake up with a cold, clammy feeling. Increased air circulation means that you will sleep cooler in summer and warmer in the winter. Flannel cotton lasts longer than synthetic materials, and if its organic it will be grown and processed without oils, defoliants, pesticides, or artificial fertilizers.

If your flannel sheets are made from 100% organic cotton, you avoid toxins like chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Sometimes bedding available from major retailers are made from polyester and permanent press sheets that are treated with formaldehyde. Always check to be sure that your sheets are 100% chemically untreated cotton or hemp sheets, as it is important to your health.

Hand made flannel sheets can be found in natural shades of green, brown, and cream. If you enjoy brighter colors, ensure that no metals were used in the dying process. Flannel can vary from a medium to heavy weight, to fit the season.
