​​The argument of whether flannel or fleece bedding is better does depend on how you like to sleep. If you prefer to be really warm and cosy, then fleece bedding would be a better fit. Flannel bedding still provides the same cosiness, but it is that bit more breathable, so excess heat can escape more than it may with fleece. You can find cheap options in both flannel and fleece bedding sales, so affordability isn’t really a factor. It really just comes down to how warm you like to be throughout the night! Either way, they both make excellent choices for cosy winter bedding.
