Simple&Opulence 100% Linen Sheets Queen Size Set, 4 Pcs Natural French Linen Bed Sheets, Breathable Soft Durable Bedding Set for All Season (Linen, Queen)

A couple years ago i switched to linen bedding, i was skeptical at first but i made the decision to spend the money on a set of linen sheets. Since that day i haven’t looked back and i only use linen bedding. I’ve tested multiple brands but was looking for a more affordable option so i decided to give this brand a try.Here is my initial reaction:Overall they seem like good quality, there was a couple minor flaws on one pillowcase where some threads had come loose, these were part of the duvet set and not part of the sheet set but this is the reason for 4 stars. This is depicted in the photos. I trimmed the threads back and will see if any issues arise but i think it will be ok.In terms of softness, out of the box they are soft but you will definitely want to wash them before putting on your bed. I noticed the lint trap was not as full as other brands i used before so these did not shed the fibers as much, i think this means they will hold up over time really well. These will get softer with each wash which will only make them better.If you’re new to linen, you have to be ok with them being a little wrinkled. I think this adds to the comfort, the fabric feels more natural and gives it a cozy look.Linen also feels different on the skin than traditional percale sheets. I like to tell people it’s soft like flannel but breathes very well. There’s a bit of texture to linen, it’s soft but i wouldn’t say it feels smooth like traditional sheets. I sleep naked and i like the way it feels on my skin. Whenever i get back home from a trip it’s always my favorite thing to climb into my linen bedding and i sleep so good!when you wash and dry them, it’s better to dry them on low heat and take them out before they are completely dry. Linen will air dry quickly and they will last much longer if you do this.I think these are good quality for a good price, especially if you’re looking for a starter set to try out linen, these would be good for you. Just make sure you give it a fair shot and understand it may take a little adjustment period. If you take care of them they should last a very long time and get better and better.

Update Nov 27, 2020: Lowering to 4 stars for (lack of) durability.Bought these in late April 2016 and have been using them every 4th week - or less - rotating with other pairs. Today I woke up to find the bottom sheet in shreds near where the shoulders or the lower legs/feet would be. The sheets have gotten very very soft, the part where it is torn/shredded is extremely soft. I still like S&O linen sheets a lot and have bought from this brand 3 different pairs (two 'natural' color with cutout embroidery - they have a totally different texture than these).I like S&O sheets for another reason too: they are cut less generous (narrower) than other brands, which for me is a good thing as I have a low bed and all other brand linen sheets reach the floor, but the S&O don't.================================================Original review from spring/summer 2016:Ordered them after a few reviewers characterized them as warmer weather sheets. 'Internal heat' had me looking into linen sheets. Bought these expecting lighter sheets. But they are NOT LIGHT WEIGHT. That said, they are wonderful! I never sleep on new sheets before washing them first. Broke my habit because I couldn't wait to sleep on these! And slept, I did. Very soundly, on my soft and crinkly sheets. And loved them! Then I washed them and loved them even more. Did they get softer? How much softer can they get? (everyone says they can get a lot softer).They are wonderful. And for the price, you get to enjoy some ultra luxury for a fraction of what would otherwise cost. That said, if you are looking for a light weight linen sheet, this is not it. These feel more like medium/light weight, somewhere between 5.3 and 6 oz. (150 to 170 gr.) Light weight sheets should be 4.2 oz per square meter or 119 gr. I felt that to-die-for linen with my hands when I recently visited Gray Line Linens in NYC the store dedicated to linen. I am now looking for 4.2 oz linen sheets for the summer.On the other end of the spectrum, there is the suggestion of Tricia Rose of Rough Linens who proposes a really heavy weight top sheet for the summer, a heavy weight linen sheet and nothing else. She is building on the European position of no top sheet, but only bottom and duvet cover. Nice suggestion, but I'd rather keep my top sheet.2 Years later: I just bought a new pair of Simple&Opulence linen sheets in 'natural linen' color. They feel thicker and rougher than the first pair. The 'natural' color linen has not undergone any coloring process, which usually softens the fabric. Have that in mind when ordering. They are not soft yet (after first wash), but they feel very sturdy. I bought the 'hollowed out' design and they look gorgeous. I am in the process of 'aging/softening' them (helping to break down the flax fibers) using hard dryer balls in the fluff dryer cycle after the sheets air dry.

Llevo unos meses con las sábanas y me encantan. Cómodas y frescas. Se arrugan bastante pero para mí no es un problema, así es ese material. El empaque viene presentable con un listón.

ropa fresca de muy buena calidad.. encantada

I ordered my first set and received beautiful 100% linen sheets, just like in the pictures. The above picture is of my second set which is NOT linen and they look nothing like the pictures! I have just ordered a 3rd set and I am hoping to receive the beautiful 100% linen sheets pictured just as I received the first time.
