Rated 2 out of 5 by Johngsd Great color, not soft flannel as expected
I bought the red buffalo plaid sheets. I really like the pattern and the deep red. I was disappointed in finding that these flannel sheets are not as soft and fuzzy like most flannel sheets. It seems like they were not brushed. I will keep these sheets because I like the color and pattern but I would not recommend these sheets to a friend.

Rated 5 out of 5 Flannel Sheets
Love the feel and quality of the fannel sheets. All our guests want to know where we got the sheets. They have washed up well and return to the bed fluffy and soft.

Flannel sheets have always been something I needed to actually touch before purchasing to be sure they were soft and the right thickness. But I am a long time customer of LLBEAN and also very partial to buffalo plaid so I bought these sheets this year and am so sorry I didn't do it sooner! The fabric is very soft and has great loft. They wash very well and are cut generously enough to accommodate my pillow top mattress and memory foam. And the color is just beautiful. I am ordering another set right now, and highly recommend them to anyone who loves flannel sheets. I have never found better!

As a Canadian in Minnesota there wasn't a chance I was missing out on flannel sheets overwinter. These are perfect - warm and soft.
Just a note to other buyers; please check out the care of flannel before you buy. If you wash with detergent you WILL get pilling and rough sheets. My partner washed them the first time with regular detergent and I had to deal with pills for a week.

Rated 1 out of 5 by HeartofDixie Buffalo Plaid Sheets Are A Disappointment
These are beautiful to look at and feel soft and luxurious the first time you put them on the bed.
But sadly they pill with the first washing, and feel rough to the touch.
And get progressively worse with each wash.
The pilling is visible, and the sheets begin to look sad and worn immediately.
The roughness is the worst part.
Not up to LLBean standards.

I purchased a set of the ultrasoft flannel sheets with blue stripes about four years ago and fell in love. I even used them into the summer. They have held up wonderfully and never pilled. So I decided to buy another set in the blue plaid. After a single wash and a week's worth of use they were pilling already. When I compared them to my striped set the material did not seem to feel at all the same. My plaid ones are now extremely pilled and starting to feel rough/thin in texture. Very very upsetting as these are not cheap! I don't know if this is a change in the material problem, or if it the plaid sheets (I noticed that the rating for the plaid sheets is lower for the striped ones in reviews).
I don't want to take my chances in getting a bad batch again, so I don't think I will be ordering them again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by hmrcer Buffalo Plaid Flannel Flat sheet
This is one of the best investments we have made. The sheet took the place of a light blanket all winter - and winters in Maine are COLD! I can't sleep with too many blankets and we use a light quilt all summer so a compromise was made with the flannel flat sheet in the winter under the quilt and it made a world of difference. Perfect weight and just warm enough. Thanks.

Not all flannel sheets are created equally. Don't be fooled by cheaper flannel sheet sets which are flimsy and the weave is so thin you can almost shoot peas through them. This is not the case with the flannel sheets from L.L. Bean. The quality is excellent and they actually seem to get softer with each machine wash. Really look forward to going to bed on a cold night and feeling the immediate warmth of these sheets. They also look great on the bed.
I would highly recommend these sheets.

We buy king size top sheets for our queen size bed,because of the oversize mattresses. This is the second time I've bought a flannel top sheet from LLbean. Just received this last order. The sheets are always nice and big. The flannel is soft and washes up very well. I have older sheets I bought just like this recent one.It still washes up nice and soft . Really pleased with these sheets!

The picture is deceiving. It shows two sheets and two pillow cases but it is only one flat sheet.
