I bought them also. They are wonderful. Washed them and put them on our bed. They are so soft and cozy. And, what a sale. Full size ran around $21.00 a set and Queen were around $26. I bought one set, delivery was fast, so I was able to order 3 more sets while the sale was still on. They even had extra matching pillowcases that I got for the first set, but sold out for the other sets. Very, very pleased with this purchase.

They don't work for me because I get my sheets ironed and dry cleaned.

I like them stiff the way they are when you stay in a really really nice hotel.

@goldensrbest I have been using the Polar Fleece from QVC for years and love them. I only use during the winter months and they feel like sleeping inside of a teddy bear! During the summer months I like 100 % cotton sheets.

I love flannel sheets. Much prefer them over the polar fleece sheets. QVC used to have a very large selection of pretty flannel sheets.

Flannel sheets from LLbean are 100% cotton as they should be.

Cuddle Duds and other companies can sell their flannels cheaper because they're made with poly...cheap plastic.

They are not the same at all. Who wants to sleep in plastic sheets....wearing plastic PJ's from Cuddle Duds?

Who wants to sleep in plastic sheets wearing plastic PJs from cuddle duds? I do.

I have a gazillion old flannel sheets that look like tired rags after a few years. About five years ago my sister gave me a set of polar fleece sheets from QVC, and I have learned a lot.

That is the beauty of that "cheap plastic." The color stays fresh, they are much much softer, and they don't get wrinkled and rumpled. I use the top sheet for a summer blanket, and being very hot natured, I never get hot.

I will never buy 100% cotton flannel sheets again.

I can't stand flannel/fleece sheets. I want the feel of smooth cotton percale sheets.

@Carmie I don't know anything about the fabric content of these sheets but everything I've seen made by Cuddle Duds has been the cheapest fabric and construction. I bet the sheets pill badly. I wouldn't touch bargain Cuddle Duds anything.

Polyester is a cancer causing fabric. It releases dangerous gases into the air and into into our water. It is killing fish and making them unsafe to eat with the chemicals they have been exposed to.

When poly is placed in a clothes dryer it releases cancer causing chemicals into your home. When you wear poly clothing next to your skin or sleep on poly bedding, these toxic chemicals enter your body and are in your blood stream.

I have done a ton of research on synthetic fabrics. Besides being dangerous to animals and humans, they are in our landfills with an estimate or 200 years for them to break down.

I am just amazed that these fabrics have not been taken off of the market. God help our babies who have been exposed since birth.

I am super serious about this and wonder why these dangerous issues are not being addressed. This is scary.

If Cuddle Duds is using cheap thin fabrics, they are allowing mountains of toxic clothing to be placed in our landfills at a high rate every year. Shame on them.

Try to find clothing ,that has no polyester, not many brands around, i like cotton, but i did get these sheets, so far ,so good.Cotton is mentioned as fabric.

@goldensrbest I have no problem finding natural fabric clothing with no poly, with the exception of bras.

I have very little poly anything....just a few jackets and some home textiles like curtains and throw pillows.

White poly curtains turn yellow and shred. I buy new ones every fall for two doors with windows in our RV. I'd plan on finding some cotton fabric and making my own next year.

Don't know why some posters have to comment on something they do not like, i did not ask if you liked .or not, some just have to put their opinion on every thing.

@goldensrbest Sorry, enjoy your sheets in good health.

Thank you for posting about the sheet sale at Kohls. I went online and ordered some Cuddle Duds flannel sheets for pick up this afternoon. They are nice and heavy 100% cotton sheets. They are in my dryer now. I don't know why there is all this discussion on polyester. That is not a factor with the sheets from Kohls.

When you post, you should expect comments. No one was unnecessarily rude as far as I can tell. Hope you sleep well. I love warm sheets, but DH gets too hot. In winter, I put flannel sheets on and he just uses one blanket and I add a quilt to.my side.

@Carmie Interesting point...just can't get away from you get what you pay for. I prefer natural cotton also...and it is going to get even pricier. I'm glad that the op mentioned an alternative....I'll stick with the natural, but it is more money which is a major concern for a lot of shoppers.

I think some are confussing the flannel sheets ,with the clothes they sell.
