Has anyone tried Quince linen sheets?
I realize this post is a year old but I wanted to share my experience with Quince linen sheets. I received a set of sheets for my birthday in Oct. 2021. I washed them in cool water and used the Quince lambs wool balls in my dryer. Initially I washed them 2 - 3x a month to soften the fibers a bit and then only 2x a month. In May 2022, I noticed a small hole about 1/4" in diameter in the fitted sheet on the side that I do not sleep on. I was surprised to find it, it was almost perfectly round. I contacted Quince for a replacement and they sent me a whole new set (I only asked for a fitted sheet). I was surprised and very pleased. I have not opened the new set, I was planning to mend the hole in the fitted sheet by making a small patch out of the linen bag the sheets were packed in when they arrived.
But I procrastinate so I hadn't gotten around to it yet. Last night when I got in bed, my heel went through the fitted sheet on the side where I do sleep. When I looked closely, I could see the sheet was worn away in that area and is about as thin as tissue paper. The hole is about 3" x 4".
Now, I have a brand new set that I can wash and use but it only took about 6 months for the first hole to appear and a year for the fitted sheet to wear away in that one spot. Obviously these sheets are lower priced than most linen sheets but I am disappointed with the quality after a year. Overall I think they're a decent value when you look at the cost but I did expect them to last more than a year. Again, this is only the fitted sheet, the top sheet and pillow cases are in perfect condition.

After my linen sheets from Parachute have torn after just a year of use I am on the hunt for some more linen sheets. Since I’ve been looking at my Instagram feed has been filled with nothing but ads for linen sheets now. Quince keeps popping up as a cheaper option. Has anyone tried their sheets? Wondering if there are more on the rough scratchy side of linen.

I was checking them out yesterday but went with The Company Store instead. In the reviews that I read it mentioned that the Quince linen set was soft. It was really hard to find reviews that didn’t smack of affiliate marketing though.
