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.

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.

This is more just initial impressions as I havent used them long enough to review the durability.

For the Quince I purchased them knowing some people had quality complaints, but I figured if I had issues Id just get them replaced as Id read their customer service is good. Right away I had an issue as they sent me the wrong size, and customer service did work with me to replace it. My main issue with their sheet has first been that it never stops shedding. People online give the advice that the shedding will slow down, after several months and many washes it never did. To be clean I washed on perm press, cold water, and mostly hang dryed. Towards the end I tumble dryed low for 15min, hang for few hours, then 5 mins no heat to grab some of the lint. You could see thin patches starting to develop as well so I figured I didn't have long before I'd start seeing holes, and decided I need a better quality sheet.

The rough linen was $170 vs $100, but right away you can feel the weight difference as they feel like they weight twice as much. They did produce a decent amount of lint on first wash, so time will tell if that reduces or if I continue to find lint all over my bedroom like with the Quince. On feel maybe its slightly rougher, to me it just feels like linen, none of its especially soft even after many washes. Ive just grown to like that feel. Then you just can't beat linen on moisture wicking. This is the first summer where no matter how warm it is outside I always wake up feeling completely dry. I honestly think its moisture wicking ability is its biggest selling point, and its breathability is really good as well.

So just thought Id share for people considering either brand. I'll try to post a durability update after some months.

Hi all, considering getting new sheets and the Quince linen sheets have stuck out to me. One of my major concerns, however, is cat hair sticking to them. Does anyone have this set and can they speak to how much hair sticks to it? Or does anyone have any sheets they recommend that are good for pet hair?

Thanks in advance!

I bought the European linen sheet set from Quince in terracotta colour.

https://www.quince.com/home/sheets/linen-sheet-set

They’ve been through 1 wash where I used the gentle cycle and tumble dried on low heat, and 2 weeks of use.

I already see these weird discolourations on my pillow cases and sheets. Is this normal? Is this a defect? Should I call Quince and return/ask for a replacement?

Are there any brands that sell linen sheets that are more reliable in terms of wear and colour hold?

This is my first time buying linen since I sleep very hot. But I’m not sure what to expect with linen as a fabric. I’m comparing it with the $30 cotton blend sheet set I got from Target which has lasted just fine for the last 2 years.

I’m trying out Quince sheets, and I gotta be honest they’re rougher than I anticipated. When I think linen I was expecting buttery soft worn in linen. But theirs feels a bit scratchy and almost wool-like. I’m wondering if Brooklinen feel the same for those who tried both? Does Quince soften overtime? I only washed once

I've had the opportunity now to compare 3 different items from Quince and other brands. Here I will try to express those comparisons. I would have saved this review for more things to compare, but frankly, I won't be buying anymore, so there will be nothing more to compare.

First Item;

Cotton Gauze shirt from Quince VS. similar shirt from Gap < I have a slightly different style that is not sold this year.

• Quince; $44.90 (Claim $128 traditionally)

• My Gap shirt was something around $80, but I got it for $39 on sale at the time.

• The Quince shirt has surged seams on the inside, the Gap shirt has French double stitched seams throughout (edit; the sleeves have traditional surged seams but the body all has French double stitched seams)

• The quince shirt feels slightly rougher than the Gap shirt even with washing

• The Quince shirt has faded over time with washing, the Gap shirt has not (Had both about 12 months)

• The cuff placket on the Quince shirt is reinforced with a small piece of black facing that is noticeable when rolled up (a black square at the cuff corner). On the Gap shirt, the cuff placket is reinforced with a sewn on piece of the same material as the rest of the shirt, so when rolled up it isn't noticeable, it seems like a nice detail.

• The buttons are plastic on both, but the Quince buttons are bright white (very plastic looking). On the Gap shirt, they are the type of semi translucent beige color which looks more "natural."

Second Item

Linen shirt dress from Quince and from Gap

• Quince; $49.90 (claim $218 traditionally).

• Gap; Originally $84.99, I purchased on sale for $64.99 + 50% at checkout ($32 - what I got it for)

• I admit this cannot be a direct comparison in fabric as the Gap is a linen blend. However, as a person who's had a lot of linen in general, I can attest to the general roughness of the Quince dress (to me indicating cheap linen). It was stiff, rough, and did not soften with washing. So much so that I did not keep the dress.

• The cut of the Quince dress was odd at the shoulders, it did not fit my body but that may just be me. However, I find I generally fit most garments, so the fact that this one looked so strange on me is a concern to note. The collar was also very weird, it stood up and was an odd proportion compared to other lapel collar dresses I've had before. The Gap dress looks normal on me, it falls nicely and the fit is lovely.

• Both dresses have surged seams on the inside, however, the Gap dress has the seams tacked down with a double line stitch making the entire inside of the garment flat on the inside. Again indicating higher finishing work.

• Both dresses are slightly sheer however the Quince dress was showing the silhouette of my legs. The Gap dress shows a shadow of my darkest underwear. I would not be comfortable with the Quince dress in public, but the Gap one would be fine with correct undergarments.

Third Item

Circular crossbody purse from Quince and from Portland Leather

• I own the quince bag, and recently my friend got the Portland leather bag so I was able to compare them. Admittedly I have less intimate knowledge of the Portland Leather bag as I have never purchased it.

• Quince; $89.90 (Claim traditionally $150).

• Portland Leather; $78 "almost perfect" - what my friend has, but full price $250. The "almost perfect" is something Portland leather does where if there is a small flaw on the bag they sell it for a large discount. My friend's bag does not have a discernible flaw to either of our eyes.

• The Quince bag leather is stiff and shiny. It is real leather by the smell on the inside, but by the touch in comparison to the other bag it feels like plastic. The Portland leather bag feels buttery, has a true traditional leather smell on the outside and inside, and has a smoother texture with a more matte quality.

• Both bags were about the same size with about the same pockets.

• Frankly I don't have a problem with my bag from Quince, but after going out with my friend and seeing her bag it is significantly, comically cheaper looking than the other bag. We actually laughed about it.

So what is my conclusion?

Quince is fine. But there are other places with similar (and sometimes better) prices, that have better quality things. One of Quince's main qualities is that it touts "savings" vs. "traditional prices." I do not believe this is fully about fair pricing, I believe it is about the quality of the garments coming out of Quince. They are cutting corners and that is what makes them cheaper.

Nothing on the Quince website is so unique and special that I would need to purchase it from them alone. The qualities of Quince which make it "slow fashion" are not ones that work for me - as my shirt has faded, it cannot be kept as long as my Gap one, even though my Gap one is not "slow fashion." keeping my Gap shirt longer means, it is slower than Quince. Same with getting rid of the dress because of its fabric feel, vs keeping the Gap one. And ultimately probably the same as eventually choosing to replace my bag with one from Portland Leather.

This is about a year after purchasing. Customer support was at first happy to replace them, and then decided not to anymore in a later email. Absolute garbage. I can't believe I paid $200 for something that lasted one year.

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 all, I purchased a set of linen bedding + duvet cover from Quince about a year ago. They are super soft and comfortable but they shed like crazy! I’ve always washed and dried them gently, and it seems like many others have this issue with linen bedding across different brands as well.

They have a 365 day return/exchange policy so I might try either a replacement set or go with a whole other brand. I doubt that a replacement would be any different but maybe it’s worth a shot.

Are there any linen bedding brands that don’t have terrible shedding? My room gets covered in dust in less than a week

i’m having a hard time picking between the two. i’ve been convinced to buy linen bedding - and i’m willing to spend the $$. I’m just not sure which to go with between the two, or if there’s other less expensive reputable options? I like the colors that piglet in bed offers more and have heard better things about it that quince, but it is definitely more expensive. Is it worth it??

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.

*Prices shown are for a California king fitted sheet + flat sheet + (2) pillow cases + duvet cover

After my post the other day I'm kinda set on these choices. Any advice from people who have these or preferably have tried a few of these? Really want to keep it cheap, but I know good bedding is worth it. Thank you!

Some posts say they’re a great capsule brand. Others say they’re fast fashion. Not sure what to believe.

Please give your perspective!

You'll be lucky to get one year out of the fitted sheet and they won't replace it individually. Brutal.

I just found out Quince has sheets. Linen, cotton and silk.

Has anyone tried them? The prices are reasonable if they quality is good.
