In addition to the material and make, it's also important to know the care instructions for flannel sheets.  Quality flannel sheets should be easy to care for and retain their softness and color after multiple washes.

Cotton is a plant that loves warmer weather and it takes several months for it to produce the fluffy cotton balls that we all know. After the plants are harvested, they are defoliated and send to the cotton gin. There, the cotton fibers are combed — this is done for cleaning and fiber straightening purposes — and then spun into yarn.
