1. Classic flannel sheets straight from New England
Headquartered in Maine, L.L. Bean is known for those popular duck boots and, of course, its flannel button-downs.
But its use of the classic fabric doesn’t end with plaid shirts—the company also makes uber popular bedding. Its ultrasoft comfort flannel sheet set comes in eight solid colors and four checkered patterns, ensuring there’s options to match every bedroom. Plus, the company claims the 100% cotton flannel is pill-resistant (a major plus).
The sheets have more than 700 reviews and an average rating of 4.7 stars. One reviewer writes: “I’m completely sold on these sheets. I’ve used them and washed them and they are fabulous. The sheets have ample room for our king-sized pillow top mattress, so there is no wrestling to get them on. They are so soft and comfy. I’m ready to order another set.”

2. Another L.L. Bean set for an upgraded experience
L.L. Bean claims this flannel sheet set is “velvety smooth” and has a “luxurious drape.” But the main selling point is the supima, which has longer fibers than other varieties of cotton. What does that mean for you? Well, the sheets will be stronger and sturdier, as you’d expect from the premium price.
Though they aren’t available in a twin size, these sheets are crowd-pleasers, with an average of 4.8 stars and nearly 300 reviews. They've even converted flannel skeptics. One reviewer writes: “Wow. I was never a particular fan of flannel sheets, but we’ve had a very cold winter and I decided I wanted extra coziness at bedtime. These sheets are buttery soft and like sleeping in a warm, cozy cloud. I lay in bed and just run my hands over the sheets, luxuriating in their wondrous softness.” Others describe the sheets as “nirvana,” “heavenly,” and “simply fantastic.”
