What Is Flannelette Fabric? 

Let’s talk about flannelette. If you’ve ever pulled on a pair of flannelette pyjamas on a chilly evening and felt like you were being hugged by a warm cloud—congrats, you’ve already met flannelette. But what is this snuggly, delicious fabric, exactly?

First Things First: Flannelette 101

Flannelette is a soft, brushed cotton fabric that’s known for its warmth, breathability, and delightfully fuzzy texture. It’s a cousin of flannel, but a bit lighter and often made from 100% cotton (which, yes, means it’s breathable and natural). It’s brushed on one or both sides to create that signature soft, slightly fuzzy finish that makes you want to cancel plans and curl up in bed

At Jade and May, we’re a little obsessed. Okay—a lot obsessed. Our flannelette pyjamas and flannelette pillowcases are made from ethically produced, all-natural cotton flannelette that feels as good as it looks.

Why We’re Flannelette Fanatics

Let’s break it down:

  • Softness for Days: Seriously, it’s like sleeping in a cloud. A warm, cuddly, cottony cloud.

  • Breathable and Natural: No sweaty synthetic nightmares here. Our flannelette is made from 100% cotton—because sleep should be dreamy, not stuffy

  • Warmth Without Weight: The brushed finish traps warm air, making it perfect for cooler nights without feeling heavy.

  • Long-Lasting Comfort: Our Jade and May flannelette pyjamas and Jade and May pillowcases are designed to go the distance—wash after wash, they just keep getting better.

Flannelette PJ’s: The Unsung Hero of Your Winter Wardrobe

Let’s just say it: flannelette PJ’s are a vibe. They’re your go-to when the temp drops, when you’ve had one of those days, or when you just want to feel cozy to your core. Whether you're sipping tea, bingeing your latest show, or sleeping in on a Sunday, flannelette is there for you. Like a loyal dog. But make it fashion.

Not all sleepwear is created equal

Our flannelette sleepwear range is designed in-house at Jade and May, with comfort, sustainability, and style stitched into every seam. We use all-natural fibre fabrics (because your skin deserves nice things), and we ethically produce each piece (because the planet does too)

So when you slip into our flannelette pyjamas or rest your sleepy head on a flannelette pillowcase, you're not just getting cozy—you're supporting slow fashion, thoughtful design, and a family-owned business that lives for lazy Sunday mornings
