Morgan & Finch Flannelette Sheets

Pilling & scratchy flannelette sheets "Kingswood" that I should have returned. This is a review for sheets I bought a while ago and didn't get around to returning. However, I do want to warn peeps about buying Morgan & Finch (house brand) sheets. Dont. Just dont. Flannelette sheets pilled horrendously straight away and worse is that they are very scratchy. They are used as dog bedding.

Our brand flannelette new sheets permeated the house of petrol while washing. Expected better from Morgan and Finch brand. Have made a complaint to Bed Bath And Table. Absolutely disappointing.

Toxic smelling sheets – Like most other comments here, I purchased a double set of tartan flannelette sheets at the beginning of January. I have several flannelette sheet sets from BBnT which I have used for years. I put the new set in my linen cupboard, planning to wash them later. My linen cupboard then filled up with a petrol type chemical stench and I couldn't work… Read more

out where it was coming from. Eventually I noticed it was the new sheet set. I've just put them in the washing machine and then googled and come across these reviews. Now I suspect washing them won't do much except stink out the washing machine, and I don't think I'll be using them, there's no way I'm breathing that in every night while I'm sleeping. Very concerning, not sure how they can sell this toxic selling product, it sounds as though they've had many complaints already.

Disappointed to be exposed to danger in a product that was purchased in good faith – Mid 2024, I bought 4 sets of single sheets set flannelette in a tartan which had a taut feel about them and a quite surprisingly soft texture but I discovered when I laundered them they exuded a pungent and unpleasantly strong smell of what I though reminded me of the wood preservative creasote. This did not improve with further washing so I… Read more

called Bed Bath and Table and asked them about it. They were only too happy to replace them. The sheets all carry an Oeko-Tex label saying they are tested for harmful substances. Yet the manager said while I was exchanging them that there had been numerous people complaining of this particular sheet. Unfortunately the sheets that replaced them also had a very similiar, yet not as pungent odour when I brought them home and washed them. They were not so taut and soft but were very rough in texture and I dont expect will improve as they immediately felt pilled to my touch. I am going to ask for a refund and should be able to obtain one according to the Australian Consumer Protection law which states that a product should be safe and fit for purpose among other things. I am becoming aware of the hazards of the textile industry through my purchases and will always follow instructions in caring for the product. Dyes are a real issue and I have realised how much dye escapes from fabric. My skin and my husband's break out in rashes which are itchy and red without explanation and we are tracing it back we believe, to dyes and treatments in textiles. Why these are not monitored better I would like to know. Why are the general public sold goods that are potentially hazardous and are those Oeko-Tex labels optical illusions or simply lies? There needs to be some real accountablity to someone with authority to protect the general public and who does cares about the safety of people.

Terrible petrol chemical smell – Bought recently queen size checkered flannelette and they smell awful after washing, petrol chemical or similar type industrial smell, my whole washing machine stinks of it. Put them on the line to air and once they are dry they don't seem to smell except for the 'new sheet'type smell but it is so bad I can't use them, feel like there must be… Read more

something really wrong with the dye. I thought initially it was just that they were new sheet, had them on the bed a few weeks, washed again and same thing, same smell. Bought from bed bath and table. The quality feels good but I'm not putting these sheets back in my house.

New sheets smell like petrol – Sheets smell like petrol. I have washed three times and the smell is still strong. The chemical smell can be smelt from other rooms in the house. Not sure what else we can wash them in - have tried vinegar, napisan and washing powder. Just terrible!

Toxic substance in sheets – I have bought sheets from Morgan and Finch over the years with no issues. However, the latest flannelette sheets had a very toxic smell like a petrol as they washed and dried which made you feel sick. The water, as washing, was milky white colour that at first I thought could be size but probably not. The smell remained as they dried. I returned… Read more

them slightly damp so the shop assistant could smell them. I had no problem exchanging them but was concerned when I suggested the toxic smell be investigated and was told they sell hundreds and it’s the first set returned. This product could have serious health effects it was so strong. I am concerned that it was in my machine as well.

Unused, new Sheets smell toxic after washing – I’ve just washed a new set of patterned flannelette sheets before using them and they smell like petrol or oil of some sort- very toxic. I have the same brand in another set and didn’t have this problem. I’ve washed them twice now, making no difference. I’m hoping the store will replace them.

Sheets smell toxic – These flannelette sheets smell so toxic. Like turpentine. My husband and I thought one of the kids had polished their shoes and put the rag in with the wash. Whatever the dye is being used is horrendous. Avoid! Avoid! Avoid!

best flannelette sheets I've tried – I moved to Morgan & Finch flannelette sheets about 10 years ago, and rave about them. The patterned versions are warm, varied designs and fit well/accurately. My experience with the plain, solid coloured sheets are that they are thinner and don't wear anywhere near as well.

Very poor quality – The material has a strange feel, not like flannelette at all. Even after several washes the sheets are still awful to sleep on. They had so much chemical dye on them when I bought them, now they are just thin and scratchy.

Bed Bath and Table. Morgan and Finch Flannelette sheets Kingswood style – Although sheets have a lovely design my skin turned blue after sleeping on them from the dye. After washing the sheets in cold water on a gentle cycle the sheets tore in several places as I pulled out of machine as though the material had disintegrated. Worst quality sheets have ever bought

Beautiful but the dye stains your skin! – I bought the Windermere sheets from bed bath & table and the pattern is stunning. The feel is really nice too and they're lovely and warm. However, the dye stains my skin every time I sleep in them! I've washed according to the instructions, soaked in salt, and another soak in vinegar to set the dye and it still transfers all over my body. So sad that I can't use them anymore

Excellent sheets – I purchased last year on sale, washed them prior to use and no shrinkage., We are very pleased with these sheets. In fact I am now endeavouring to purchase more sets for the spare beds in the house for use particularly during winter.

Incorrect dimensions – I bought these sheets a year ago at the end of season sale in anticipation of using them this winter. I washed them in warm water as per instructions and I can barely make them stretch enough to fit over the mattress. The fabric and thickness is very good but this is a serious flaw.

Beautiful sheets but questionable sizing – Fantastic quality sheets. Beautiful patterns... Big problem is that they shrink alot. I bought the appropriate size for my bed...washed them prior to use as per instructions. They shrank 12cm in every direction. Took them back & staff advised with the next pair to try on bed prior to washing...did this & they barely fitted my bed. Something is… Read more

wrong with the sizing of these sheets.... I checked my bed measurements prior to purchase & my bed should have easily fitted into the size I routinely buy. Returned them once again & this time bought the next size up, washed them & they fit my bed perfectly....

Best flannelette sheets EVER – Bought last year, on sale. Have been used repeatedly and washed often, I did wash them before first use, thick ants stay smooth on the bed, no pilling at all. I would recommend them to all

Sweet (?poisonous) dreams – After purchasing these bright, delightfully patterned sheets, I decided to wash them, as there was a slight chemical odour in this new product. After washing according to instructions, I removed the sheets from my machine and they smelt strongly of petrochemicals. I started having problems with breathing and so immediately hung them outside on the… Read more

clothes line to air and dry. I have bought this brand before and never had an issue with production odours. What chemicals are used in the production of these fibres, I do not know. I am trying to find out what we might be inhaling if I go ahead and use this product.
