Are Flannel Sheets Safe?
Question: What is your opinion of the toxicity – if any – of flannel sheets? We are looking at 5-oz and 6-oz flannel sheets from Lands’ End. Some of them are organic, others are not. Thanks! Answer: I have been sleeping on cotton flannel sheets every night for more than two decades. I love them! They do not have formaldehyde finishes like many other cotton sheets. This is a good time to buy them. I was walking through Target over the weekend and they had cotton flannel sheet sets for $19.95. Go grab them! I always wash my flannel sheets before I sleep on them and have never had a set that had a problem. Even though it’s hot and humid here in Florida, I sleep on flannel sheets even in the summer–they are so absorbent, they are actually cooler (and nice and warm in the winter). Two thumbs up for cotton flannel sheets.
