I have a Brooklinen set. Very mixed opinion on them. The first set wore holes in it after 4 months. They sent me a new set and they are much better. They have softened up quite a bit, but I really like the coarse texture of them. I have had the current set for almost a year. They are about perfect now, but wearing thin again. One major issue is the lint. For the first 6 months the lint is everywhere. It creates an insane amount of dust through out your room. Not ideal at all. I wash them in hot with Tide powder on a short wash time with soak. A little vinegar in the final rinse actually does wonders for making them feel soft. Overall, I will not purchase nor recommend Brooklinen. Hope that helps.

Many thanks Dorian-who knew buying sheets was so complicated ;)

Shannon; just the info I was looking for, many thanks!

I swear by Cuddledown. That said, I’m a sateen gal. But you can see Cuddledown’s exclusive line of Italian linen HERE.

It is complicated! I know too many people that buy sheets they end up not really liking! My next set will probably be from Costco!

Just purchased a set of linen sheets and duvet from West Elm, their new colors are beautiful and the quality is excellent.

My all time favorite set of sheets is a set of threadbare, faded set of sheets I was having to keep on the bed with a safety pin. They are probably 40 years old or so. They are soft and provide me a most comfortable bed time experience. Unfortunately they are tucked away somewhere as the idea of them being faded and having to use a safety pin to keep the fitted sheet attached did not set well with someone else. I miss using them. It is difficult finding a set that is memorable enough to make me look forward to putting them on the bed.

Is it a food idea to use linen for a b and b setting? ie laundered very frequently? What do you think?

That should read good idea🤪

Linen is not for everyone. For a b&b I’d use cotton.

Jennifer: Good point, but why do you say not for everyone?

I have not purchased anything from them but Quince gets good reviews

Not everyone likes linen is all. For a b&b I’d go with something more standard that more people are used to. Personally, I love linen. :)

I got a set from West Elm. Loved the linen, but holes wore in the fitted sheet in just over a year. Got a new fitted sheet from Rough Linen which seems thicker. 8 months in still loving it. We’ll see how it holds up.

Thanks Jennifer and JaJa

Someone educate me,(I don't have linen sheets, I like cotton sateen), but I have sewn linen many times, and I don't like it, it ravels, wrinkles, and fuzz galore, why is it so popular?

for a b &b linen sheets would get stolen.

i prefer cuddledown italian plain sewn hems, linoto, rough linen, and thomas ferguson.
