Anyone tried Bed Threads, linen bedding company from Australia?
Beware of Bed Threads
Looking for an affordable alternative to bed threads linen set
Best Bed Sheet Material / Fabric? Egyptian Cotton vs Bamboo (Viscose or lyocell), etc...
If you can afford 100% linen, it's the absolute best in terms of feel, breathability and especially for controlling temperature. In the US, a quality set is $175 on super seasonal sale *edit at stores like The Company Store or Cuddledown / $200ish at Costco [website only? possibly discontinued?]. I have a set from the Company Store that is fantastic.
If not, 100% cotton and at least 600 thread count "sateen" style is very soft, breathes well, and will last you a good long time.
Do not buy "cotton rich" or any blends. Do not buy rayon or polyester. As another user mentioned, bamboo is so frequently adulterated/falsely labelled and usually feels so cheap, I won't buy it.
EDIT The Company Store (US) is currently having a sale! Their "Comfort Wash" linen sheets are the ones I have (&love). I think the price is what I paid or slightly more. Use code TGHNOV16 for extra 15% off.
More on reddit.comI 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.
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!
