I’ve had L.L.Bean’s flannel sheets for years, and they’re just as soft and warm as the day I got them.
These sheets are woven in Portugal from 100% brushed cotton flannel. They get softer with each wash and resist shrinking, pilling, or fading. While I prefer to use them when the weather turns chilly, they also work year round.
These flannel sheets start at $109 for a twin set. Each set comes with two pillowcases (except the twin set, which has one), a flat sheet, and a fitted sheet. They come in eight pretty, muted colors.

What are people doing about muddy shoes when getting in the car? I often hike with kid or dog or both and while I can do a quick paw wipe for the dog, I can’t think of a good way to get rid of the mud on our shoes.
