Trouble with Amazon flannel sheets?

**Michelle** · 10-16-2006, 07:28 PM

I got the sheets today. I am wondering if anyone else who got the twin size is having trouble fitting them on the bed? I washed them and then tried to put the fitted sheet on a regular twin size bed, and there's no way that it will fit

I had the same thing happen with a baby flannel sheet set over here. I wasn't sure if I ordered wrong or if I shrunk it.

Oh no! Don't tell me these suckers are gonna shrink up. I haven't washed them or put them on my bed yet.

Haven't washed mine yet, just took them out of the package and put them in the laundry basket yesterday.

Sorry you are all having this problem. Do they have a money back guarentee or, are you all stuck with the sheets?

I was just at Walmart yesterday and they have twin size flannel sheet sets for $16.99. Just to let you all know.

Mine haven't come yet. Is there washing instructions on them? I wonder if washing them in Cold water will help?

Don't buy these sheets. If you have, send them back!
OMG the lint, all in my washer, on me, my laundry floor. Had to empty the lint trap 3 times for just one set of sheets.
I called amazon and fist chickie didn't have a clue and told me I'd have to pay a 15% restock fee. No way. No superviser around either. Called back and got someone who spoke clear English and had me happy in seconds. The item is defective. Just go thru the return thingy and state refund because of a defect. follow it thru & you'll get a label to print out so you don't have to pay postage. man what a pita

I had a lot of lint in my dryer too, but I figured it was just par for the course since it's flannel.

I did get the sheets on the kids' beds, and they love them. We're using one of the sets we bought on our bed now. I haven't washed the other set.

Which sets did you get, Darlene? I wonder if it depends on the color or print.

Got the pike street queen solid navy and full solid brick red.
The dust from this stuff is irritating me too. They are soft but I couldn't stand for anyone to sleep on them, I'd worry about them breathing in the night, let alone waking up & have to defuzz, lol.
Glad yours worked out better than mine.

Thanks for the information ladies. I almost ordered these the other day but was waiting to see if they went down in price again. I am so glad I waited. Well, it looks like it is off to WalMart for me to find flannel sheets.

I got mine and washed them in cold water just in case. They are really cute with snow flakes on them. They are not as thick as other flannel sheets that we have but they are very soft. They are not shedding or anthing like the other people have said. Rating them 1 to 5 I would give them a 4.

**Darlene** · 11-03-2006, 04:07 PM

Glad they worked well for you, enjoy!

I washed mine in cold water too, must have just got some fluke material. I returned mine & got conformation the other day that they credited my account so I'm happy.
