I haven't had a linen sheet set since my grandmother's, but I thought this might help you out in your search: https://old.reddit.com/r/Bedding/comments/o7rwqn/linen_sheet_review_from_snowe_morrow_soft_goods/ Someone did a deep-dive into linen sheet sets and how they compare against one another, etc. and it's actually pretty informative. A rule of thumb on this site is to find a sheet set you're interested in, search reddit (not only r/bedding but other subs are fine, too) for the brand you're looking for to see if someone on the site mentions it negatively or positively. If you find a bunch of people chiming in on a thread about Magic Linen, for instance, then it might be a good idea to heed their warnings, honestly. This is how I found out that silk duvet inserts were the best option for what I was looking for (as a hot sleeper and one with allergies) as many users in different subs had mostly good things to say about silk inserts, but lots and lots of bad things about fill materials like wool or down. Hope the guide helps! I really wish the mods would sticky guides on this sub since it would make it much, much easier for users to find answers to questions like yours quickly :(

I use both Magic Linen and Rough linen sheets. Magic was cheaper but were seriously oversized for my queen bed. The fitted sheet from magic is too big… by a lot. I like it, just annoys me. Never heard of piglet. If money wasnt an issue, id go with Rough Linen again.

Piglet in Bed or The Citizenry Linen

August 28, 2022 - I was wondering if anyone has tried linens from both Piglet and The Citizenry and could enlighten me on how they compare. Or do you have experience with at least one of them and could share your thoughts? I am hoping to refresh my bedding and have narrowed my search down to both these companies. I have just ordered swatches from both, but that can really only tell me so much. Thank you in ...

Hey r/BuyItForLife, I am currently in the process of upgrading my bed and have been looking at buying some linen bedsheets. I've never had linen sheets before and am not entirely sure what to look for, and the amount of information/reviews I'm seeing online is overwhelming.

Below are the options I am considering currently:

West Elm - Belgian Flax Linen Sheet Set $250 - https://www.westelm.com/products/belgian-linen-sheet-set-b1692/
Snowe - Linen Sheet Set - $320 - https://snowehome.com/products/linen-sheet-set?variant=12976560210019
Brooklinen - Linen Core Sheet Set - $259 - https://www.brooklinen.com/products/linen-core-sheet-set?variant=12426826350682
Morrow - Classic Sheet Set Heirloom Linen - $275 - https://www.morrowsoftgoods.com/products/classic-sheet-set-heirloom-linen?variant=31564727844925
The Citizenry - Stonewashed Linen Sheet Set - $250 - https://www.the-citizenry.com/products/stonewashed-linen-sheet-sets
Piglet - White Linen Starter Sheet Set (w/flat shet) - $259 - https://us.pigletinbed.com/collections/all-bedding/products/white-linen-starter-sheet-set?variant=31284346224755

Any advice or reviews on any of the above would be greatly appreciated! I'm also open to any other suggestions in a similar price range ($150-350).

Thank you!!!

Edit: I ended up going with Lenok Linens on Etsy due to their 25k+ positive reviews, wider variety of colors than any other shop I found, and affordable pricing. I've had them for around a month now and they're scratchier than other sheets I've had in the past (bamboo and cotton percale) but I can already feel them slowly getting softer after every wash.

It's too early to say how they'll hold up long term, but so far I'm happy with them and would recommend them to others!

Go to Etsy. Look for real linen sheets from Belarus or other Baltic states. Magic Linen is good too. The real true linen is made in these areas and are SO much better quality. DONT buy any that are made in China. It’s junk and treated with so many chemicals, they won’t last long, not like a lifetime of the Eastern European made ones. Those just get better and softer with age.

May I suggest, buy a set of pillow cases from the company you are interested in and see what you think. Use them and wash them for a few cycles and see if it is what you expected. It’s a much more friendly on the wallet way to see if your money will be wisely invested

Linen bedding- same product different brands?

Along with the rest of Instagram, I’ve been looking for linen bedding. I liked the striped options offered by PigletInBed, Cultiver and BedThreads so I ordered pillowcases from each to get a sense of quality vs price etc.

Y’all im pretty sure that Piglet ($63) and Cultiver ($83) use the same manufacturer and offer the same product (for at least the stripes) just with different closure stitching.

I wish I knew how to add photos to a post so I could upload proof 🤦‍♀️

Shame, since cultiver has nicer colors than Piglet. Doesn’t surprise me though

r/BuyItForLife on Reddit: quality linen bedding

January 15, 2021 -

Hello! I would really like to get some linen bedding. I like the texture and natural look of it and the colors it tends to come in. Everywhere I look seems to say the same things about their linen, but I know there are different qualities and I want to make sure I'm getting something good. There are a lot of etsy shops selling linen bedding. The shops have good reviews and the comments often say the sellers answer all of their questions promptly, so I'm thinking Etsy may be a good place to order just because I can ask about the product. What questions should I ask (and what would be the answers) to make sure I'm getting a good quality?

Whenever I see people discuss bedding, the thread count comes up, but I very rarely see thread count listed on any bedding websites. Does the thread count matter with linen or is that only for cotton sheets? I know nothing! And I'd love your input. Thanks!

Etsy is a great storefront where people sell: Small business/hand craft items. Bullcrap akin to eBay. Exactly zero people hand craft sheets. That's not a thing. So buying sheets from etsy is akin to buying speakers from a white van in a parking lot: you are buying from someone who placed a bulk order and knows less than zero about the product so they use fancy terms to confuse you. Thread count is used by charlatans as its a meaningless metric. Literally meaningless. There is no standard thread size. You can find threadcount useful in suiting as it refers to the size of the threads. In sheets there is no thread sizing as Sheet Maker A uses literal jump rope for threads and Sheet Mater B uses spider thread for threads. Both make 400 thread count sheets. Can you compare them? Thread count does not matter for cotton, linen or stainless steel sheets.

Targeted marketing got me. I bought a set from Bed Threads and love them. One of the buttons popped off the duvet after a year of use but otherwise they seem to be well made. Unfortunately I’m not sure what to look for in linen sheets, I just lucked out and like the ones I got. I don’t think thread count is as important with linen sheets as it is with cotton. Certain sheets can be stiff, so I would read reviews of what you buy beforehand or ask the seller on Etsy.

r/AskUK on Reddit: Best linen bedding I can get?

February 1, 2021 -

Looking at bedding - have got good recommendations for cottons on this sub - so thanks for the comments - now looking at 100% linen.

I've found the following:

Bedfolk

Secret Linen Store

The Linen Works

Any other recommendations? Looking for the best cost to quality ratio. Linen must be grown and made in Europe (three above are France/Belgium grown, and the first 2 are made in Portugal, The Linen Works just says Europe. Soak and Sleep and WestElm are grown in Europe but made in China, so I've disqualified them, however are more affordable if you want to check them out).

I've also heard of recommendations for Eastern European makers on Etsy however I have no reference point for which makers on there are good or not. Any help with these questions is appreciated.

I've had sheets from the secret linen store for three years now and they're fab. Even better now than when I bought them because they've softened up a touch. No pilling, no loose threads, no change to colour in the wash, just bloody good sheets.

I bought a cotton set from Bedfolk about 6 months ago and will probably buy another soon. Much better than my old bedding (which was dirt cheap) but BOY is it cold when you first get in bed. It stays cooler through the night too though. I'm a sweaty sleeper so that's a big tick from me. It seems to wash well and dries quickly. Honestly I liked them partly for their fairly limited range. Tried John Lewis initially and had no idea where to start with all the different types and thread counts. I do wish they did more colours though. The green they have in the linen set is really nice but I can't justify nearly £200 for linen sheets lmao Edit: oops just read the bit about linen in your post. Can't help with that specifically.

Anybody have piglet in bed linen sheets? I’m tired of buying bed sheets all the time so I’ve been doing some research and on the surface linen sheets seem like the way to go, and Piglet in bed seems really high quality. Has anyone had them for an extended period of time and can speak to their durability/ quality? I found some older posts on the sub about it but sort of inconclusive about the actual brand. Thanks!

FWIW Redland cotton have been my longest lasting (and confidentially most comfortable) sheets I’ve ever owned and I’ve breezed through all the big name brands and kitschy new brands too. I have not tried Piglet in bed though to be fair.

r/Bedding on Reddit: Is Piglet in bed actually good.

November 12, 2025 -

I kinda want to buy some linen bed sheets. I heard a lot of good things about piglet in bed 100% linen sheets. I was thinking of maybe getting the whole set. As in the pillow cases, fitted sheet, and duvet cover. But it is a hefty cost. If any of you guys own linen sheets from piglet is it worth the cost. And does it last a long time. Is the fabric good or scratchy.

I personally would not spend that much for prewashed linen. "Prewashed," "stonewashed," and even just "washed" are usually code words that mean the linen has been treated with enzymes or softeners, which damage and weaken the fibers. Piglet in Bed also doesn't disclose the GSM weight of their linen. To me, that's a red flag that they're selling lower quality fabric. High quality linen should be heavyweight and a bit stiff to the touch. It softens naturally with regular use and washing. Lots of low- and mid-tier bedding companies have recently jumped on the linen trend bandwagon, but unfortunately none of them are selling durable, long-lasting products. In general, I wouldn't buy linen fitted sheets or pillowcases because they don't last as long as flat sheets, duvet covers, or shams. Linen fibers are strong because they don't stretch, so friction from your body on the fitted sheet or your head on the pillowcase can wear the fabric down a lot faster than the bedding that doesn't get the same friction. I pair my heavyweight linen flat sheets and shams with more durable (and less expensive) cotton percale fitted sheets and pillowcases.

I have sets by Serena and lily, piglet in bed, and linoto. Serena and lily is the thinnest and a bit scratchy even after a few years of use, piglet in bed is better quality, a bit heavier weight. The sheets were soft after the first few washes but then the pre wash stuff wore off and they got scratchy. Now they are starting to get soft again. They created a lot of lint when first washed and dried. Ironing the pillowcases on high heat made them gentler on our faces. Linoto is the best quality of all of them. They are heavy weight sheets that have just been getting slightly softer after every wash. They feel extremely high quality and are closest to the heavy old timey linen sheets you sometimes find in vintage shops from the early 1900s

r/Bedding on Reddit: Piglet In Bed linen is so itchy and uncomfortable?!

March 12, 2025 -

I shelled out $400 to buy a duvet cover and pillowcases from Piglet In Bed and it has been so disappointing. I know linen is supposed to be stiffer and not as soft as cotton at first, but I wasn't expecting it to feel like sandpaper on my skin.

For those who have bought Piglet In Bed linen products, do they really get softer over time or will they always feel a bit scratchy? I'm used to using cheap $30 microfiber bedding that has always felt buttery soft on my skin, but was trying to switch to more natural fibers like linen. TIA

It should get softer but, I don’t have lots of experience with this brand. Wash, put out in sun. Wash, use, wash, sun. You have to keep working with it!!! For 400 you should be asking for samples of the fabric before purchasing or purchasing second hand that is broken in - then you just use your favorite washing technique to make it new! Can you tell me what product you got?

Linen is woven. You might not like it if you've been used to microfiber.... Microfiber is hot and brushed soft. It's essentially plastic made into sheets. Linen is light and airy. Cotton sateen seems like a better fit for you.

r/Bedding on Reddit: Magic Linen VS Piglet in Bed VS Percale? Help!

February 21, 2024 -

Please help me with my current adhd obsession 😅 BEDDING.

I’m upgrading for the first time in my adult life. I need a duvet cover with matching pillow cases, and a fitted sheet. I’ve got a purple hybrid 3, and I have two bumper pillows on the sides for my toddler that sleeps in my bed. For those two reasons, I lean towards a jersey sheet with a lot of stretch, BUT, I am obsessing over moving towards a percale fitted sheet, with a linen or percale duvet cover. Anyone use percale on a purple?

Reasons for wanting linen: I love the cozy undone look. I am drawn to magic linen and piglet’s aesthetic, and they’re in my current budget. However if they’re not great quality for that price point, I’d choose a simple percale cover over those. I do like the feeling of a heavier duvet/ cover, and I know linen has an airy feel.

Should I go for the linen duvet cover? Save $50-$100 and get a plain percale one somewhere? I’m just so undecided which route to go. I just want my bed to feel and look like it’s sophisticated, cozy, and has natural/healthy fibers.

Also - I’m not exactly in a BIFL budget. I know there are some $400+ linen options, maybe in a year or two.

Linen is so beautiful (love magic linen) but I would only get it for a beach vacation house because with regular washing it rips so quickly even in an he washer hang dry sitch

the answer is always, always percale for sheets. i have two linen duvets and i enjoy them both, but i definitely personally go more for comfort than looks. linen definitely looks more “unkempt” while a percale duvet will look more crisp (but not be able to hide stains etc as well) i think i paid less than $200 for each of my duvets, so they’re out there!

i’m having a hard time picking between the two. i’ve been convinced to buy linen bedding - and i’m willing to spend the $$. I’m just not sure which to go with between the two, or if there’s other less expensive reputable options? I like the colors that piglet in bed offers more and have heard better things about it that quince, but it is definitely more expensive. Is it worth it??

Seems like a piglet in bed would be hard on your sheets 😱

I have the quince European linen sheets and I absolutely LOVE THEM. They seem to get a lot of mixed reviews which I can’t believe. They are sooo soft. I washed them 2x right away, and then weekly for probably 4-6 weeks after that. They got pretty dang comfy after the 3rd wash and now they are just perfect. I’ve had them for probably 6 months

I haven’t shopped at either before. I am looking for twin size bedding in stripes, gingham, and solid colors. I do seem to like the variety these two have but seems like it’s a hit or miss.

I’ve been buying piglet in bed sheets for a while (I like their linen duvet covers) and they are nice enough for me. Not super high end but they fit my aesthetic.

Was checking on here as well before buying the fitted cotton bed sheets. The threads on the sides came out within a couple washes. Lots of piling as well. Quite disappointed because the color is great.
