The blurb below is from a NY Times recent article rating about ten sets of flannel sheets. The Target set goes for $30 for a queen set. The Boll and Branch set the Times says aren't nearly as good go for nearly $300. The Target set was rated second best behind an LL Bean set that goes for$120..The Target set has flannel on one side but since a blanket or comforter will likely be on top anyway, no reason not to have both flannel sides face you. There is nothing as comfortable as flannel sheets in winter!
Targets Threshold Flannel Sheet Set costs about a quarter of the price of our top pick, from L.L.Bean. And though the Threshold sheets may not last as long, theyre still a fantastic deal and will definitely keep you warm. These sheets arent as soft as the L.L.Bean Ultrasoft Comfort sheets, and in long-term testing they pilled more. But they performed better than many expensive sets weve tried, including those from Boll & Branch and Riley. The Threshold sheets come in fun colors and prints, which vary from year to year but are typically more modern than those from L.L.Bean. Target carries these sheets only for winter, and the prints sell out often. Target does restock them throughout the season, but if you see a pattern you like, dont wait to buy it.

(7,611 posts)But if you have questions I can look it up and try to answer. They said most Target sets are 100 percent cotton but a few are 80 percent (ones with metallic thread or heathered). Judging by the answers to questions on the Target site, Target employees don't seem to know this. Probably doesn't make much difference in terms of comfort

(32,014 posts)washed them and they are ready to go on the bed once it gets cold at night here in NC. Not quite yet.
They seem like good quality. Much better price than I had seen for others.
