Trying to get us to buy more locally and less online!
We need new sheets, duvet, duvet covers, pillow cases. I was thinking of trying Quince, but if there's a brand with comparable quality, style, price range, and colors that has a location on the ground, preferably in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, or the Bronx, then that would be ideal! Any suggestions?
I'd be open a combo if I can't find the color scheme + quality I'm looking for, etc. I'm thinking of redecorating our bedroom around a muted green (sage, olive green) and terracotta color scheme. Brooklinen has a similarly branded "European washed linen" in a compatible green shade, but no terracotta, for example. Debating which color I want for the duvet color and some of the pillows vs. sheets. Either is fine, but they're slightly different vibes. Earthy and tranquil, could lead into a slightly adult bohemian look, but one is muted, cool and the other warm. Just side notes on what I'm looking for.
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?
Hey everyone,
I have been researching new bedding for months and just can't seem to decide on what company is best for me. The most important thing for me is the material must be natural fibers. I currently have a velvet (cotton-poly blend) comforter from Anthropologie and eucalyptus sheets from Sijo. Needless to say, the comforter (although beautiful) is heavy, hot, and dry clean only. As far as my sheets go, I love them and really have no complaints about them.
I've been looking at linen and 100% cotton (gauze). I really like the linen coverlet from Parachute and found an identical one for half the price on Quince. Has anyone used either company and can offer their experiences?
ALSO, I was wondering if anyone has use Ettitude sheets and are they worth the steep price tag or should I just buy more SIJO sheets?
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
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.
I just found out Quince has sheets. Linen, cotton and silk.
Has anyone tried them? The prices are reasonable if they quality is good.
I’m in the market for new bedding and am lost. I’ve read a million blogs and have gone through the reviews on each site (both good and bad) and still don’t feel like I’m further along in my decision making process. I’m leaning towards Quince but based on price alone. I’m looking for super soft and temperature regulating (my boyfriend and I sleep warm) while also being cozy. Has anyone tried any of these brands, what did you think?
UPDATE 1: we’ve tried out boll & branch signature and cozy earth so far. We tried each set twice and washed each set twice. We prefer cozy earth to boll & branch and so will be returning boll & branch. They are both very lovely but we ultimately liked the feel of cozy earth better. I commented below from my anonymous alias on accident so will repost here: boll & branch signature sheets were more of a “powdery” soft as opposed to cozy earth which is more “silky” soft. Both were good at temperature regulating but cozy earth seems to be a bit better. We will try quince bamboo linen next. Stay tuned.
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 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.
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.
