Beware of Bed Threads
Bed Threads 100% French Flax Linen (thoughts in comments)
Anyone tried Bed Threads, linen bedding company from Australia?
What thread count should I get for bed sheets? : NoStupidQuestions
Hey folks! I treated myself to a beautiful set of sheets from bed threads about two months ago. They kept popping up on my instagram and the reviews were solid, so I went for it.
I’ve never left a product review in my life–so for me to go on a site and actually take time to write a review should speak for itself.
My one star review was on the site for maybe two minutes before it disappeared. I then realized all the reviews for the set were five stars, and there were only nine. I obviously can’t confirm this, but I’m led to believe the company removes negative reviews from their consumer site (which is perfectly legal). An agent over chat told me my review was simply going to take awhile to publish, but I had already seen it up.
Anyway, I really don’t recommend bed threads. I wanted to love them, but they’re scratchy and uncomfortable even after breaking the linen in. They wrinkle like nothing I’ve ever seen no matter how I wash and treat them. And they look more muted than the photos.
Real bummer, but don’t waste your money–they’re expensive!
I recently bought a bedding set from this company after researching the benefits of the linen sheet and decided to invest in one. This company offers relatively reasonable prices($275 for a duvet cover, fitted sheet & set of pillowcases) on their linen products with a good amount of color choices so I went with it. They advertise their linen products to be "buttery soft" with basically high-quality everything. I knew linen is not soft compared to cotton or satin but thought after a few washes it would be at least a bit softer. Not true for my case. I followed instructions on how to soften linen bedding religiously and after 3 washes, it seems to be getting rougher. I cannot sleep on it because it feels I'm rubbing my skin against sandpaper. The quality of their product besides the roughness of the linen is also questionable. I know piling is normal in the beginning and so is attracting dust for linen, but the stitches and threads are coming off crazy even being washed in the gentlest cycle. The stitches on the duvet cover are now shrinking from coming off, jeopardizing the shape and structure of the cover. I wouldn't be THIS puzzled with my purchase if the linen wasn't so rough to the point that I can no longer use it.
I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the particular color dye(I got deep plum) or that I just made a shitty choice in getting linen bedding from this company. Has anyone experienced the same thing?
I'm obviously a major noob and would appreciate any inputs on how linen bedding works for everyone else.
