Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Pinzon velvet flannel sheets made of 100 percent Supima cotton provide an unrivaled softness and comfort. The sheets are expertly made in Portugal using only the top 3% of American Supima cotton because its extra-long-staple fibers can be woven for more warmth. The flannel is napped on both sides for cozy softness and then lightly sheared on both sides to eliminate the fine hairs that make standard flannel more susceptible to pilling. The end result is that Pinzon velvet flannel is made from the most pill-resistant flannel available. Because these sheets are made of 100 percent cotton, an all-natural fiber, they are soft and breathable. With a flannel weight of 200 grams per square meter for great warmth, this queen sheet set includes a 90-by-102-inch flat sheet, 60-by-80-inch fitted sheet, and two 20-by-30-inch pillowcases. The fitted sheet, with elastic all around, fits snugly on mattresses up to 18 inches deep. The flat sheet and pillowcases feature a 4-inch, single-stitch hem. Pinzon velvet sheets are easy to care for at home in the washer and dryer. They are offered in a choice of colors and can be mixed and matched with any bedding and decor.
Fabric Definitions
Flannel: Flannel fabrics are noted for their fuzzy softness, warmth, and durability, and they can be dyed or printed. Thought to have been popularized in Wales in the 17th century, flannel was an all-wool fabric made of woolen or worsted yarns, with a brushed surface and a soft napped finish obscuring its weave. Flannel may be plain woven or twill woven and, today, most flannel fabrics are made of cotton fibers or synthetic rayon fibers that are slightly napped on both sides to resemble the old woolen or worsted yarn weaves. A wide range of flannel weights and textures is available. The fabric weight and quality of the napping affect the warmth and softness of the fabric. Many people prefer flannel bedding during the cold, winter months, but some flannel weights are appropriate in breatheability and comfort all year long.
Supima Cotton: Supremely soft and durable, Supima fabrics are woven from extra long, strong cotton fibers grown in the USA. The brand name ""Supima"" is an abbreviation for "superior Pima," and Pima is the name given for extra-long-staple (ELS) cotton grown in select areas of the southwestern U.S. and a few other locations worldwide. Cotton is considered to be ELS or Pima if its staple length, or fiber, is at least 1-3/8 inches. Its fineness and longer staple make Pima a premium cotton fiber used to spin finer count yarns, which in turn can be knitted or woven into soft, fine, and luxurious fabrics. The "Supima" brand name is owned by the Supima non-profit organization comprised of American Pima cotton growers from Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas. Therefore, the name Supima is used to promote products made purely of 100-percent American Pima cotton grown in these regions. Apparel and textile mills and manufacturers earn licenses from the Supima organization so they can use the Supima name on their products. This trademark is a consumer's only guarantee that a product is made of 100-percent American Pima cotton.
History of the Region
Portugal's major textile factories are located in Guimaraes. Guimaraes is known as the "cradle" or "birth city" of Portugal, since it is home to the castle of Portugal's first king. As one of the country's most historic cities with well-preserved monuments, it is a popular tourist attraction. Among other sites to see are two squares with outdoor cafes and balconied houses, called Praça de Santiago and Largo da Oliveira. At Largo da Oliveira are the old Town Hall and the Church of Nossa Senhora da Oliveira, with a Gothic shrine erected in 1340 standing before it. There are many legends about its origins, but a popular story says it marks the spot where Wamba, elected king of the Visigoths, refused his title and drove a pole into the ground swearing that he would not reign until it blossomed, and it sprouted immediately. Guimaraes hosts an annual 3-day festival of medieval art and costume in the first week of August, which dates from the middle of the 15th century and includes a torchlight procession and a medieval parade. Not only renowned for textiles and historical sites, Guimaraes is in the heart of the "Vinho Verde" region, so called for its locally produced fresh, young "green wines."

I'm in love with velvet flannel now!!!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pinzon 200-Gram Supima Velvet Flannel King Sheet Set, Bone (Kitchen)
Thanks to Amazon, I have become a self professed 'sheet snob'; luckily for me (courtesy of Amazon) at an affordable price!
Last year, for the first time I had the fortunate opportunity to purchase and experience 500 and 800 thread count sheets made my High Country Linens that I bought here. My Mom, my Aunt and myself fell in love with them so much that we donated all of our other sheets and replaced them with these wonderful sheets. I STILL LOVE them as they are durable, silky smooth with a nice, weighty feel vs the old 150 or 200 thread count flimsy sheets I was used to. I have trouble getting to sleep at night and also staying asleep at night and one of the worst things are when you have little kids is to be sleep deprived. One of the worst ways to wake is wake up in my opinion is at 2am shivering from being cold even though you have socks, sheets and your blanket covering you. Although my beloved sheets (Yes, I'm a little nutty over sheets) were FABULOUS, I had to admit that I was still freezing on the really cold nights. I grew up with my parents giving me flannel sheets during the winter time and although they WERE warmer, I HATED the pilling effect after a few washes so I refused to give in. Until that is, I found out there was such a thing as 'velvel flannel'. Talk about the WOW effect!!! When I took them out of the package, they were smooth but sort of heavy feeling from being flat in the package. I immediately washed them and I could tell when I took them out of the washer that I was going to love them (I DO use fabric softener but I'll be looking to change to something else so that it doesn't deteriorate the fabric more than it needs to over time). I was literally grinning with delight when I took them out of the dryer and my husband was rolling his eyes at me since I had JUST changed our sheets last night. We have a 15" mattress that I have trouble fitting our waterproof mattress cover over but this sheet had plenty of room to spare so I do believe that it will easily fit a thicker mattress. Surprisingly, even though there was more room, it didn't get loose over night either when I tucked the excess under my mattress, which was nice. Talk about SMOOTH, luxurious, soft and oh so warm and cozy!!!! I didn't wake once last night from being cold or even hot, everything was perfect! When I put these new velvet flannel sheets on, our little one even proclaimed that he was sleeping on them with Mommy instead of his bed and even had me change out his Pottery Barn Kids choo choo pillow because he decided it was 'dirty' and that Mommy's was COMFIER although his was just changed last night too. There was some very lightweight lint in the dryer but that was to be expected with flannel. It's my hope that over time, there will be less so it stays in my sheets vs losing it's softness over time. But usually there is a TEENY bit of pilling with even good flannel even in the first wash and there is NONE whatesoever on these sheets!!!! What surprised me is that I dried them on Medium for 80 minutes and they came out bone dry. I expected them to require more drying time or on high heat (I was worried about shrinkage which did NOT happen or if any did, it did not effect mine at all.) I got the bone color and ordered extra standard pillows and it's great that the dye lots match perfectly (I've had them arrived mismatched before in other brands), it's a nice, soft color but it's a bit on the 'yellow' spectrum for a bone color in my opinion. It IS still nice...sort of a cream - yellow color but if I had my choice, I would have rather have had a more neutral ivory / bone color instead. I LOVE white sheets in the summer but for some reason, I like a more muted color in the winter and these are nice. I purchased mine when they had these in the gold box deals for $39.99 for the king size and $5.99 for extra pillow cases and I'm kicking myself for not ordering more!!! :-( My wishes / complaints? I wish they had more standard pillow cases in stock, I WISH they had the 200 thread count in SUPIMA velvet flannel in a TWIN and FULL size for my kid's beds!!!! And of course, I wish that they'd run that $39.99 special again!!! :-) Oh! And more COLORS!!!! I'd LOVE a taupe color in these sheets!!! Even if I had to pay the current $79.99 on these, I still would NOT regret it, they are scrumptious!!!! You will not regret it! I also think that these would make a WONDERFUL gift!!! Just be sure to get some for yourself too!! :-) Here's to some happy, comfy ZZZZZ's....

SAVE YOUR MONEY - SAME LABEL, SAME RN# & SAME FABRIC AS THE PINZON 190g. VELVETS!,
By Shop Gal (Kirkland, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pinzon 200 Gram Supima Velvet Flannel Sheet Set (Kitchen)
I recently received a set of Pinzon 190g Velvet Flannels and decided I wanted to try the 200 g. Velvet Flannels to see if they were any more luxurious. I received my 200 g. Velvet Flannels two days ago, washed them and decided to compare them with my new, only once washed, 190 g. flannels. I couldn't tell any difference whatsoever between the two different weights. They looked and felt identical right down to the finish and stitching. So I decided to take a look at the sewn in tags and to no surprise the tags on both weights were identical right down to the manufacturer's RN#'s. The only difference I could find between the two were the prices ($$$$) and the stickers on the outside of the plastic packages.
Perhaps mine were mislabeled? Do yourself a favor if you are considering buying the 200 g. and order both weights and then decide. My bet is you'll keep the 190 g., return the 200 g. and save yourself a whole lot of money, especially if you are like me and like to order extra pillowcases, etc.!

Greatest Flannel Sheets Yet-Silky Soft,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Pinzon 200-Gram Supima Velvet Flannel Queen Sheet Set, Juniper (Kitchen)
The first thing we look for in flannel sheets is "Made in Portugal". The next thing we check out is the weight of the flannel. These sheets meet all the criteria. They ring in at almost 6 oz/square yard. I thought that luxury was 5.3 oz. These are generously cut, well made (generous hems) and silky soft. All flannel pills and we don't find any problems with these sheets. Heavy, soft and very warm. The best flannel sheets we have ever owned and we have used flannel exclusively for over 20 years.
