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?
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!

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).
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.
If you’re on this side of Reddit you’re probably always in search of anything closest to being the best bedding you could buy. After using a bunch of high end name brands, I have to say I have settled with quince. Their bamboo sheets are AMAZING. I recommend 10/10/10. Just thought I’d share!! I also like the fact that you could purchase it without the flat sheet, I never use a flat sheet. Shipping was also quick, I’ve been sleeping on quince! (Pun intended)
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.

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.
has anyone had an issue with the Quince European linen duvet cover feeling super scratchy? I know it's linen so I don't expect it to be silky smooth, but it feels a bit unbearable. I have washed it since receiving it. I'm just curious if anyone else has had a similar experience, but after multiple washes it got better? debating returning.
Hello I’m trying to decide on a new duvet. I am going to get the quince linen duvet cover but am having a really hard time deciding on color. I am trying to decide between white, ivory, or sand. I am very nervous to get something that pulls yellow color. But also a little nervous white will be too white. The picture is kind of my inspo. If anyone has these colors can you please post a picture and say which color it is so I can see some examples.
Thank you in advance!!
I have sheets from quince, parachute, brook linen and cozy earth… and I think Quince takes the umber one spot.
Curious to hear other comparisons!
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 just found out Quince has sheets. Linen, cotton and silk.
Has anyone tried them? The prices are reasonable if they quality is good.
Hey guys, brooklinen down comforter all season vs ultra warm. Let me know what you guys think. Also, brooklinen was rated top down by wire cutter and 2 different top 10 sites. It’s $360 on sale. My problem Is that it’s 85% Hutterite duck down and 15% Hutterite feathers compared to Quince 100% down. Quince luxe down looks legit but seems like most people love the brooklinen down. Quince luxe is $379 and the premium is $299.
Or if anyone has any other recommendations let me know .
Thank you!
In laws are asking what I want for my birthday and the sets fall in their price range. Does anyone have any personal experience with the brand and if they would recommend it?
Personally, I love percale and how cool it feels on my skin but open to suggestions (belgian linen vs french linen).
Thanks in advance.

About a month and a half ago, my friend recommended I try the Quince European linen bedding. I checked TikTok and the reviews on Quince’s own site, and everything looked really positive. Quince seemed pretty popular, so I decided to buy it.
After that, I came on Reddit to see what people were saying, and that’s when I saw a lot of posts about quality issues and bad experiences with Quince bedding. But by then I had already ordered, so I just figured I’d give it a chance and see for myself, since TikTok and Quince’s site were so positive but Reddit was not.
When everything came, I was excited. It looked nice and felt nice at first. But after using it for about a month (and honestly in the first 1–2 weeks), I started seeing the same problems people talked about on here: • A lot of pilling • Loose threads poking out and messy stitching on the pillowcases, sheets, and duvet cover • Tiny holes in some spots (on one pillowcase, if you put your hand inside, you can see your skin through the fabric)
Everything I bought was from Quince, not mixed with any other brand.
I definitely regret buying it and wouldn’t recommend it. I was really excited for this set, so it’s pretty disappointing.
Quince does have a 365-day return policy, and I’ve seen other people say that when they had the same kind of quality issues as me (holes, bad stitching, etc.), they were able to get either a full refund or a brand new set even months later, sometimes close to a year after buying. So for now I’m just going to get as much use out of mine as I can, and then I’ll probably reach out to customer service and see if I can do the same thing (either an exchange for a new set or a full refund).
Rating: 3–4/10.
Has anyone else had similar experiences with Quince linen or other linen brands? This is my first time trying linen bedding, so I’m not sure if I just picked the wrong brand, or if this is more of a linen material problem in general.
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 |
