Hi guys, new to Quince and love the reviews (most of them). I am finally settled and want a new duvet. I love the idea of the airy gauze and the light almost whitebaby blue, but I worry about how it washes up and how long it will last.
I see that animals are a no go. I have a rescue cat but she was declawed, but she does run on the bed- little zoomies.
What is another quince duvet in baby blue or light blue . I am in AZ and sleep warm in the summer and use the same duvets all year but rotate. My washers at my new place are 15 years old and not the most delicate I’m sure. Would euro linen be the next least warm? Any guidance is helpful!
Thanks!
Just wondering how legit Quince is. I ordered something for the first time and it seemed like it was in stock according to the website but it took 2.5 weeks just to get the order processed (with a request into customer service) and now that it’s shipped, according to the tracking it’s stuck somewhere in India. Not sure if my experience is a one off?
Edit: thanks everyone for the reassurance! I didn’t realise Quince ships from India, so all good. Is the refund process easy?

In the market for a lightweight duvet insert and my top contenders are Buffy, Brooklinen, and Quince. I need it to breathable and not too warming! What would you recommend?
I am debating between the classic organic percale duvet from quince or the 280 TC pima cotton one from LLBean. I hear good things from both but I don’t see many comments about Quince’s longevity. I also heard good things about the European Linen from Quince but I am still skeptical about its quality.
Quince luxe goose down comforter 329.90$ -700 fill power European white goose down -100% cotton sateen shell -baffle box -all season Couldn’t find fill weight.
Casper the down duvet 323.10$ -100% cotton shell -Ethically-sourced down fill (600 fill power) -Constructed with sewn-in chambers Couldn’t find fill weight. Doesn’t specify the down.
DOWNLITE Hotel & Resort Luxury 325$ -500 thread count 100% cotton dobby weave (1 inch stripe pattern) -650 fill power Hungarian White Goose Down RestAssured® hypoallergenic premium white goose down -baffle box -45 oz fill weight
These seemed to be the best ones for my budget. If none of these are good quality for the price please recommend me down duvets no more than 350 please! All season or warmer preferably. King size/oversized. I’m mostly a neutral sleeper but I do like to be cozy and bundled at night.
I’m a Quince lover (clothes, jewelry), and have two questions about their bedding:
I want to purchase my teenage son a Quince quilt for his bed. He does not sleep with a top sheet. In the winter, he uses a blanket only. In the summer, it’s a lightweight blanket/throw. His old long-haired (declawed) cat sleeps with him, so I need something that doesn’t hold onto cat hair. I was considering the Quince Bamboo quilt, thinking I could wash it regularly but wonder if it would be okay without a top sheet?
Also considering purchasing a Quince bamboo quilt or Quince linen quilt for my King bed. We do use a top sheet. Currently, I rotate a Pottery Barn duvet in the summer with a Ugg comforter in the winter. We use a Bearby weighted blanket on top. I’m just ready to have one quilt/duvet to use year around with the weighted blanket. Also considering their bamboo sheets.
Any recommendations for both? Thank you!
They’ve been adding so many new colors lately, and there don’t seem to be any reviews of them yet on the site. I like the pine and toffee a lot, from the pics.
I requested this as a Christmas gift. I received the full bundle as follows: Fitted sheet, flat sheet, duvet cover, 2 sham pillowcases (which are really standard size pillow cases) and 4 queen sized pillowcases because we made the mistake of adding on an extra set of pillowcases not realizing they already came with the sheet set. It did not occur to me that there were 4 items in the sheet set photo and it's not detailed very well on the product page for the bundle and save. Anyway, no big deal, we just have an extra set. Here are some photos, the first after the first wash and the second after the second wash 10 days later.
Positives: Way more affordable than other brands (maybe at the cost of sustainability though the verdict is out on whether bamboo is actually sustainable - I just really wanted soft sheets). They are extremely soft and not too warm to sleep with (perfect for me who has sensitive skin and sleeps cold and my boyfriend who sleeps hot). The color of the fabric is as pictured online. I have the sheets and pillow cases in the light gray color and the duvet cover and sham pillowcases in the olive green color. It looks and feels nicer than the crappy cotton bedding I've bought from Simon's and Ikea here in Canada (Simon's being particularly overpriced), and nicer than the bamboo pillowcases I've bought from Linen Chest, which were decent, but not quite as soft. Note that Quince does not ship to Canada, I had my parents order this for me in the US since we were visiting for the holidays.
I washed these before first use less than 2 weeks ago. Washed according to the label, cold water, gentle cycle, separate from any other material. I also washed the olive duvet and pillowcases separate from the gray sheet set to avoid any colors bleeding. Before first wash they felt almost satiny and I was skeptical, but they came out like butter.
I wouldn't fault Quince for this as it is likely just bamboo in general, but it is very slippery. The top right corner of the fitted sheet comes off every single night, a problem I've never had with other sheets. Not a deal-breaker, we can just use clips. We had to get a new, larger duvet insert since the duvet is full/queen and our duvet was full size. I love having a bigger duvet now, but the heaviness of the larger blanket it being oversized for our bed, and the slipperiness of bamboo means the blanket is sometimes falling off the end of the bed and can get annoying. Again, not a dealbreaker for me. One thing to note is that when looking for duvet inserts, I found that duvet sizes are wildly inconsistent between Simon's, Linen Chest, and Ikea, but found one that fit the duvet cover (was the same length but bigger by 2 inches on each side, which I don't mind. Maybe comforters/duvets in the US have a standard size that would fit this.
What is very disappointing, however, is the quality, even at this lower price point. I already started noticing faint discoloration on the light gray sheets (some faint whiter areas), particularly toward the top of the sheets where we are laying or sitting up in bed. Noticed this before the first wash. In addition, there are some pulls (presumably from our toenails) on the bottom of the sheet. This is a relatively delicate fabric. After the second wash today, I was really disappointed to see the beginning of some faint pilling on the duvet cover and sheets. We've washed them exactly according to the instructions and have been pretty gentle with the bedding so far. Finally, and this is the most disappointing thing for me, is the dark splotches that have appeared on the olive pillowcases (the ones we've mostly used for sleeping). I assume it was caused by drooling or oils in our hair, but I've never seen a pillowcase get discolored like this, let alone after less than two weeks of use. I'm so upset that it is already aging like this.
All that being said, they are still incredibly comfortable to sleep with, but I would potentially update my review over time if the quality deteriorates more. They feel luxurious and the quality issues I mentioned here aren't particularly visible at this point. I don't think they are a bad purchase persay and as of now would still recommend them if you really want bamboo and have a lower budget, but even with how delicate bamboo can be, I'm a little disappointed after being so excited a few weeks ago (mainly because I have so much trouble deciding to buy things because everything seems to be made like crap in the last couple years and I prefer to invest in nicer quality when I can).
I'm looking to upgrade our bedding and buy our first set of linen sheets, however, there are lots of conflicting reviews online and in this subreddit regarding quality, softness, durability, etc.
These are the brands I've been looking at and I think I've narrowed it down to either Quince ($) or Cultiver ($$$). I'm normally a buy-once, cry-once kind of guy that doesn't mind paying more for premium and/or longer-lasting products but are the Cultiver sheets really worth 3x the price of Quince?
FWIW I plan to splurge and buy our new comforter and pillows from Feathered Friends. It feels like a mismatch to spend ~$1,400 on down bedding and then cheap out on the linens. Our mattress is an Avocado Green Mattress with the added pillow-top option that we bought back in 2019. We absolutely love it and it's still going strong 6 years later.
| Brand | Price |
|---|---|
| Quince | $330 |
| Magic Linen | $603 |
| Pottery Barn | $668 |
| Cultiver | $990 |
| Rough Linen | $1,123 |
| Coyuchi | $1,246 |

I am losing my mind trying to decide where to buy a new duvet insert. I feel like a lot of the new bedding companies all end up on review lists that are “pay to play.” I am looking for something cooling but also as fluffy as it can be (while still being cooling). I bought the Brooklinen Down All-Season, but at 90” wide, it’s SUPER short for our normal (not California) king, as in, it only falls an inch and a half off the sides of the bed. It’s decently fluffy, but I’m wondering if there’s something better.
Max price is around $400. Any recs are much appreciated!
I recently switched from a comforter to a duvet and insert from Quince. I got the bamboo duvet cover and love how it feels. The issue is that my mattress has an eggshell topper on it so the duvet doesn’t cover the entire mattress on the sides, and I hate how that looks. When comparing measurements to other brands, it seems every brand has different measurements for duvets and inserts for king size beds. The quince one is 108x92. Never had this issue with the comforter as it was plenty long enough on either side of the bed.
Because of the size issue I have to return it, but where can I find a duvet cover that feels the same but is oversized?
I am in the process of changing my bedding, and upgrading from a Queen to King. I went down the rabbit hole and got some sheet, mattress, pillow etc. Gosh, it was a very fun
Now I am trying to find a good duvet cover, do you all have recommendations? Budget is around 200-250, willing to spend a little more if the product is really great.
I just found out Quince has sheets. Linen, cotton and silk.
Has anyone tried them? The prices are reasonable if they quality is good.
So like with picking sheets, there's a lot of thought that needs to go into picking a duvet insert lol. And with help from fellow redditors, I've discovered that I'm looking for a down comforter.
I've found two that stick out; Quince's premium, not overpriced, down comforter, or the alternative bamboo comforter by Cosy House.
I go to bed without pajamas so I don't believe heat is too much an issue. I've found bamboo to be a little light so I think I could get some oomph from the insert.
Cheers!
I just bought Quince linen sheets + duvet cover. any suggestions for a duvet insert? looking for something lightweight + fluffy!
not sure if different brands of inserts are different sizes, but I heard sizing up will make it fluffy. I got a queen sized set for the Quince sheets
