I'm at home enjoying a few days of well deserved time off. Since I'm a responsible, contributing member of the team at 1578 Merit Ln, I'm doing a little housework.  I'm finally breaking out the flannel sheets for the bed when my mind wanders onto a question that must be answered - A conundrum that has baffled the brightest minds throughout history - So here it is - Riddle me this Batman - why is it that flannel sheets feel immediately warmer than the standard variety "summertimer" bed sheets.  I understand the idea that the weave of the fabric traps more body heat than the others, and that explains why they are warmer over a perdiod of time - but why do they feel immediately warmer when you hop into bed?  The flannel fabric itself is not resting at a higher temperature than the Sateen sheets - so why does it instantly feel warmer?  It boggles the mind.
