What Is Flannelette?

Flannelette is a brushed cotton fabric with a soft, raised surface that traps warmth. Quality flannelette is double-brushed, meaning the fabric is brushed on both sides to lift fine fibres from the yarn and give it that cosy texture and smooth hand feel. You may see a similar brushed finish on bedding such as fitted sheets, pillowcases, and flat sheets.

Most flannelette is cotton based. At Sussan, our flannelette sleepwear comes in 100% cotton and cotton blend options that feel lightweight and breathable. Australian cotton now uses 52% less water and 97% fewer chemicals than 30 years ago, adding a quality sourcing note to the fabric story.

What's the Difference Between Flannel and Flannelette?

The difference between flannel and flannelette is the base fibre. Flannel is traditionally woven from wool or synthetic fibres, while flannelette is made from cotton and then brushed.

For sleepwear, that matters. Flannelette feels lighter, is easier to launder and sits more softly against the skin than traditional wool flannel. Our in-house team of 20 designers chooses fabrics with everyday wear in mind, so comfort shapes the decision from the start.

Is Flannelette Warmer Than Cotton?

Flannelette is warmer than cotton because the brushed surface traps air and holds heat close to the body. That soft texture makes a real difference overnight, especially if you feel the cold or prefer sleepwear with a cosier feel.

For cold-weather sleep, flannelette is one of the best material choices for women’s pyjamas because it balances warmth with comfort. Choosing fabrics that perform well and carry a lower environmental footprint also reflects Sussan’s B Corp values.

Are Flannelette Pyjamas Good for Winter?

Yes, flannelette pyjamas are well suited to Australian winters, from milder coastal evenings to colder southern nights. They help you stay warm overnight without feeling bulky, making them a practical choice when the temperature drops.

They can also work well through autumn and early spring. At Sussan, you’ll find options including 100% cotton flannelette and cotton blend styles, with a softer feel than some viscose sleepwear. For many of our 560,000 VIP members, returning to flannelette each cooler season says enough.

What Styles of Women's Flannelette Pyjamas Can You Find?

Sussan’s range includes women’s flannelette pyjamas in floral and check designs, with long-sleeve button-through tops and matching full-length pyjama pants. These flannelette pyjama sets are designed for easy winter sleepwear, with inclusive sizing from XXS to 4XL so more women can find a comfortable fit.

How Should You Care for Your Flannelette Pyjamas?

Wash flannelette pyjamas in cold water on a gentle or delicate cycle to help keep them soft. A few simple laundry habits can also help protect their shape, colour and feel.

1. Turn your pyjamas inside out before washing to help protect the fabric surface.

2. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach, as harsh products can affect the feel and colour.

3. Choose a gentle spin cycle and avoid strong spins that can pull the fabric out of shape.

4. Air dry flat where possible, or tumble dry on low heat.

5. Use a cool iron only if the care label allows it.

Caring for your flannelette pyjamas extends their life, which supports the goal Sussan backs through Seamless, an initiative working to keep clothing out of landfill.
