Hubby loves flannel but I have to have sheets w/ a SMOOTH finish--Smooth like a tablecloth, not bumpy like the inside of a sweatshirt. How are these?

Good question! I think they are smooth not bumpy. But that's my perspective. Enjoy!

These sheets are heavier than any other flannel sheets we've ever had. To me, they are smooth and very comfortable.

They are very smooth - this is what I like about them. No bumps what so ever but only washed twice so far. Reviews say they do not get bumpy after several washes. I love them!

I personally find these ones to be smooth. They have held up well and haven't pilled. I think they would work for you. I hope the helps!

These are somewhere in between. They aren't bumpy, although I've only washed them twice so far, but they aren't super smooth like others I've had. They produced a ton of lint in the dryer and make little pills on my socks if I wear any to bed. These are fuzzy and cozy, but not bumpy or super smooth.

They will certainly stay around the corners of a mattress, mine is a deep mattress. However, I question if these sheets are cotton. I think they're micro-fleece or something similar. They are soft, but if you want that crisp cotton feel these aren't the sheets. Therefore, the fabric tends to wrinkle and bunch ( a little) more like knitted material.

I thought they were just fine. Unfortunately my hubby is a slider - he slides down to the foot of the hospital bed. The sheets do not stay in place when I pull him back up to the top of the bed. (he's non-ambulatory and can't move up on his own). His weight is too much drag for the sheets to stay in place. I ended up using bed pads and skipping the sheets altogethe. For regular use they are okay but they aren't deep pockets and can come out easily.

300 thread count percale sheets are my husband's favorite. My set has been washed and alot and they have kept their color and crispness with NO PILLING.

I don't know; nor have I ever heard of "ply" in reference to anything but toilet paper! But these are not flimsy sheets. They have a nice sturdy percale weave. They are not sateen, which usually is made with very fine threads, so while the thread count appears low, that is normal for the heavier weight thread used in traditional percale weave. If you are looking for soft, drape-y sheets, these are not the ones to buy! However I heartily disagree with the reviewers here who thought they are scratchy. These sheets are the epitome of an old-fashioned crisp white sheet, which was exactly what I was looking for!

I'm not sure but I don't care for them as they are too"slippery" as in a silky texture which I don't care for. I like cotton period and it is hard to find. These slide around and don't stay on bed well. Would not purchase again myself but those of you that like silky sheets may like them.

Hi. These are great. No fluff has ever come out (washed weekly for over a year) I used these until last week when I transferred my son to a toddler bed. Great purchase

I would say they've gotten a bit softer, but haven't changed dramatically. I LOVE these sheets though!! Give them a chance, unless you really want a dramatically different feel. You may have to go w/ synthetic fabrics to get it though.

I would call it just flannel. It's soft and comfy but I wouldn't say the sheets are velvety or really heavy.

The sheets are thick, soft and super comfortable. I take them out of the dryer as soon as they are done so that they are nice and warm when I put them on the bed. They are not wrinkled and we do not get "shocked" when we get in bed. I love them and get a fantastic night's sleep.

I have no idea. All I know is that they feel cotton-like, are soft, but a little warm (almost like flannel sheets). Since it is winter here I'm cool with that, but this summer will resort to hotel quality high thread count sheets. Great price, though.

The seems help the sheet fit the mattress better. They are my favorite sheets ever. I have them on my bed right now and will be sad when they are cycled through the sheet wardrobe. I have other linen sheets and the fabric these are made of is just so wonderful.

These are flats, so there is no fluffing required. It's basically a large single layer cloth about as thick as a paper towel. If you want the kind with the extra fluff in the middle look up "prefolds". And to avoid shrinking, air drying is fine, but because prefolds have extra layers it'll take a lot longer.

Yes, I was afraid washing would ruin them. Let me know what your friends advise (thanks :) We just keep the covers on them and wash the covers, and air the duvets out in the open air (shade). Use flannel covers for winter and cotton covers for summer. Seems to work fine. Good luck with yours.

No they are always smooth and soft. After a few washings, mine have ripped. I found other micofiber sheets that seem better. I think that is what these sheets are, though not advertised as such. The shipping charges cost more than the sheets!

They are quite thick and plush...very soft. Theses are the thickest I've found and I've tried many. Give them a try. I'm sure you'll be satisfied ~ I certainly am.

I made covers for Hanks bed myself. Sewed material into something similar to a really big pillow case. Then used Velcro at one end to close. I've made a couple and they work great. Flannel for the cooler months, cotton for summer. I am going to try folding and stiching up a single sheet with either a draw string end, or the Velcro again for his next cover. The edges of the sheet will already be hemed...should save me some time.
