My unhappiness has nothing to do with the product itself. I had done a search for "flannel sheets", and these came up as a best seller in the list. It's entirely my fault that I didn't thoroughly read the description and ordered them. I don't know why they came up in my search for flannel sheets.

That being said, the sheets are wonderfully soft against the skin and I am pleased with them. I'll just pile up the blankets in place of the flannel  ;-)
