What Is Brushed Cotton Flannelette?

  100% cotton
• Double-sided brushing for extra softness
• Increased
  GSM (grams per square metre) for cosy weight and warmth
• Perfect for
  cooler months or year-round warmth-lovers

“Think of flannelette as cotton with a hug built in.”

“No more cold sheets. No more icy toes. Just warmth from the moment you lie down.”

What Is GSM – and Why Does It Matter?

When it comes to flannelette, GSM (grams per square metre) is your measure of quality.
The higher the GSM, the thicker and warmer the bedding.

At Bedlinen Direct, our brushed cotton is woven to a luxurious GSM weight — thicker than supermarket brands, and trusted by guesthouses, care homes and families across the UK.

Flannelette GSM Guide:

“You’ll feel the difference – and so will your energy bills.”

How Is Flannelette Made?

• Cotton harvested from natural fibres
• Woven into strong, soft fabric using plain weave
• Brushed on both sides to lift fibres for fuzziness
• Dyed and treated to lock in colour & prevent shrinkage
• ✂
  Cut and sewn into high-quality bedding in UK sizes

It’s a traditional technique with modern upgrades – stronger, softer, and safer than older styles.
