I have the sensitivity of cloth rubbing (or barely touching) my legs too.   
But, I have no problem with sheets and blankets on
me at nite.   I sleep with a pillow between my knees and that takes care of any 
problems I guess.      I have slept with a summer
gown all winter, otherwise I get too hot.         Janice

  I think that this is something that most of us suffer from at some point 
during our TM lives, skin sensitivity against fabric, and it's the worst when 
we are trying to get some much needed sleep.

  I have purchased so many sets of sheets and blankets over my TM years (T 
8-10, 6/1/99), and I have had this sensitivity for most of that time.  It 
started as sensitivity and is so often PAIN.  I've gone from egyptian cotton, 
very good quality flannel, jersey (like T-shirt material) and all sorts of 
thread counts of cotton.  In sheets, I think that most of the time, my most 
comfortable sheet happens to be the jersey.  I'm not saying that I can always 
have my legs against them, because I cannot, I lay on my back many nights with 
my knees bent so nothing touches my legs.  Blankets are much worse, so you need 
to get the most comfortable sheet you can near your skin.  If you have any 
"old" pajama bottoms, those are also some of the most comfortable, or I wear 
the short ones.  

  I've bought some microfiber plush pants this year from OldNavy.com and they 
have been warm on my legs and haven't irritated them.  I am very much looking 
forward to warmer weather when I can wear short pants all the time and not 
being uncomfortable.
