Is Micro Flannel as soft as Egyptian cotton?

Micro Flannel is so soft, cozy and warm. I like Egyptian cotton, but for the next few months for warmth and comfort I love the Micro flannel. Thank you for reminding me, I need to order another set for my guest room bed. You will love them and they wash up just like old rags, and keep their color beautifully. Hope this helps.

Micro Flannel is softer than Egyptian in my opinion. I really love the feel of my Micro Flannel Sheets.

Yes these sheets are Egyptian cotton with 1500 thread count. The higher the thread count the softer. Hope this helps.

Yes. It's very soft and feels more like a micro suede, which of course is still a micro fiber fabric

We also have a 2.5 tog GroBag in the "Alphabets Neutral" print. We've had that one since last winter, so it's been worn and washed quite a bit more. That said, I remember it being softer when we first got it - more like flannel than regular woven cotton (though it lacks should snaps and zips down the front). The "Hippo Hop" and "Spot" ones aren't super scratchy, especially considering that our son only wears these when he's already in long-sleeve pajamas. They also have shoulder snaps and zip on the side. We are happy with our purchase.

They may be "Egyptian fibers", but that does not make them cotton. I bought a set from Amazon and they were made out of a plastic-like material, soft and slippery. I think they are microfiber. Not what I was looking for but I know some people like that feeling on their skin.

Yes it feels like SOFT cotton. It washes wonderfully and is reversible. I would definitely buy it again, but it is yellow!

It's microfiber which is a type of polyester, but it is softer than most polyester.

No, they are more of a microfiber, velvety feel...but they are soft. And warm...not a cold sheet feel!

It's not Egyptian cotton. Remember you get what you pay for. But for the price this is a nice gift for my daughter.

Yes, they are 'brushed-microfiber.' Which I was at first disappointed when I re-read the description, but when they came in and I finally got to sleep on them after the first wash they really are quite nice. They are not as crisp as cotton would be, however they are quite warm. Just not exceedingly so. You will not be sweltering hot (and I live in Florida!) all night long :) BUT if you do prefer flat and crisp cotton, I suggest making sure you read descriptions of each sheet set you look at! I copied the description specs that I looked over when I first bought my set: Queen Size 4pc Set - Flat Sheet 102"x90", Fitted Sheet 80"x60", 2 Pillowcases 20"x30" Deep Pockets - with fully elasticized fitted sheet guarantees a secure fit for mattress depths from 16" Brushed Microfiber - with cool lustrous feel and a very soft silky touch Easy Care -Wrinkle-free, Fade-resistant, Machine wash in cold and tumble dry on low.

Microfiber is not long staple Egyptian cotton. This is currently a big scam. Keep looking for real Egyptian long staple cotton. Most of this microfiber is coming out of India.

Soft to medium. Definitely not firm according to my daughter in comparison to spring coil mattress.

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

These sheets are not percale or sateen. They are Egyptian, which is softer than percale and not lined like sateen. They get softer with every wash, and I would recommend them to anyone.

hmm..well flannel? i'm thinking the really soft kind? I would have to say its more stiff? so i brushed cotton..I'm not exactly sure but its definitely not the soft fuzzy flannel type

Micro flannel is 100% polyester. These are the most comfortable cold weather sheets I have ever had. No pilling, not as heavy as flannel, very easy to care for.

That's kind of a mouthful lol, but yes I believe there should be the word "polyester" somewhere on the page if that's what they're made of or if they contain any. "Egyptian quality" is confusing and people may believe these sheets are made of real egyptian cotton, buy them, and then receive them to find out that they don't feel like egyptian cotton at all. Thank goodness my roommate has never had egyptian cotton sheets before or she would be pretty upset with her birthday gift lol. I wasn't too pleased though. These are so not as awesome as real egyptian cotton. It was stupid of me to think I could get it for this cheap though and they're soft enough I guess.
