How To: Survive Canadian Winters with Warmer Bedding

When the temperatures start to drop and the leaves begin to change colour, that can only mean one thing in Canada: winter is coming. And with it comes the need for warmer bedding. We recommend looking for bedding that will keep you cozy on those long, cold nights like flannel sheets. Here's everything you need to know to find the best bedding to help you survive Canadian winters. 

Fleece vs. Flannel: What's the Difference?

When it comes to bedding, there are two materials that people tend to turn to in the cooler months: fleece and flannel. So, what's the difference between the two? Flannel sheets are crafted from 100% cotton whereas Fleece is usually made from synthetic fibres. Although they are both cozy, because of the difference in fibres, fleece can be too warm and feel stuffy at times. Flannel sheets have inherent breathability derived from the natural fibres. The fabric traps heat close to your body without making you sweat like fleece does - keeping you comfortable through even the most intense winter nights. More bonuses of flannel sheets are the durability and longevity!
