They were too warm in the summer for me (odd I know), but I loved them otherwise! Something changed after my health journey and just getting older. Temperature regulation has become very important to me and nothing has come close to linen. I did not expect to be this wowed by linen either.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linensheets#post-2412292 Tue, 05 May 2026 13:31:09 +0000 Lisa 2412292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very interesting! I've never tried linen sheets before but something to consider. I've used Jersey sheets in the past and our current sets are bamboo, both have worked well so far. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linensheets#post-2412186 Mon, 04 May 2026 17:46:21 +0000 Ket 2412186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>LJP</b>, I know what you mean. I had the same fear of damp, clammy linen. I cannot stress how much these are not clammy, damp, icky weird. I never, ever wake up damp, sweaty. The sheets are always dry and the perfect temperature. If it's cold, they warm up. If it's warm, they cool down. I know it sounds too good to be true, but I'm utterly blown away. As for bamboo, slimy is actually a great descriptor! We didn't love them either.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>avicennia, RobinF, Irina</b>, yay Team Linen Sheets! I never thought I would be a linen fan, but I cannot get enough of these sheets. I almost want to buy 2-3 back-up sets. I love them that much.</p> <div><br /></div><div><b>Bijou</b>, wow! Now those sound like dreamy pajamas! Japan has such amazing textiles, that I kinda want of want to try Japanese linen now...</div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linensheets#post-2412183 Mon, 04 May 2026 17:42:26 +0000 Ket 2412183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, my household was down for two solid weeks with diarrhea, vomiting, and upper respiratory stuff. (So far, I'm still holding strong...) So imagine my surprise to come return and find os man y&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>The sheets are <b>100% linen!&nbsp;</b>They are not a blend.

I like it! It was a little rough feeling at first but has softened up nicely. So hard to get it just right, especially for two people.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linensheets#post-2411700 Tue, 28 Apr 2026 11:40:28 +0000 Janet 2411700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sheets are so hard! By the time you realize you’ve made a mistake, it’s usually too late to return, and too much of a hassle. We had a set that actually started to pill. Yuck. I went back to The Company Store and Garnet Hill after that. </p> <p>I’ve never tried linen sheets, but I really prefer a very smooth and crisp sheet, so I always assumed they would not appeal to me. We are 100% cotton fans. Blankets can be challenging too — why do they all seem to slide around now? </p> <p>We just let go of an old pair of bamboo sheets from when my husband moved in with me 25 years ago. Those things were super soft, nice and cool, and held up very well, but stuff was made better back then in general. They finally started giving out at the seams. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linensheets#post-2411690 Tue, 28 Apr 2026 02:59:29 +0000 Sal 2411690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We have linen sheets too and I love them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linensheets#post-2411689 Tue, 28 Apr 2026 02:37:38 +0000 Bijou 2411689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have some linen pyjamas that I bought in Japan and they are wonderfully soft and very breathable, quite different from any linen that I have had before. If I could find sheets like these PJ's, they would be a dream.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linensheets#post-2411686 Tue, 28 Apr 2026 01:46:21 +0000 Aquamarine 2411686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting! Never tried linen sheets but now I’m intrigued. We like Boll and Branch cotton sheets in the summer, flannel in the winter. These days, I run cold all the time, even in summer, and need a cotton blanket or two. (My poor suffering husband just sweats it out for me!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linensheets#post-2411676 Tue, 28 Apr 2026 00:18:41 +0000 Suz 2411676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fascinating! We use high thread count cotton but absolutely detest sateen, though it took a bad experience to alert us. Who knew? It <i><b></b></i><b>sounds</b><i></i> nice!&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm so glad your experience with linen has been positive so far. It's really tough to get sheets that work well for two people with different internal temperatures.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linensheets#post-2411675 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 23:35:11 +0000 Irina 2411675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I buy mine from H&amp;M home, more budget friendly than most of stores.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linensheets#post-2411674 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 23:32:29 +0000 Echo 2411674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For various reasons, Dh and I have tried almost everything for sheets - linen, bamboo, blends. But the only thing that has worked for us is high thread count 100% cotton. Soft, but cool and absorbent enough for us, and they launder like a dream. Actually, we have gone with 100% cotton quilts, too, because they are more comfortable, easier to control temperature with, and again, they launder beautifully.</p> <p>Regardless, I am so glad you found something that works well for you! There's nothing worse than being uncomfortable when you're trying to sleep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linensheets#post-2411672 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 23:13:43 +0000 Indigoprint 2411672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the input on linen sheets. I am interested because they are a natural, strong fiber.<br /> Looking into to it ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linensheets#post-2411668 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 23:01:05 +0000 LJP 2411668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Something about linen sheets has turned me off and I've never tried them. &nbsp;I imagine them feeling damp or wet somehow (not literally but in hand-feel) . &nbsp;I did try bamboo sheets once and could not get them off the bed fast enough. &nbsp;Far too soft and slimy . &nbsp;Ugh, sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linensheets#post-2411667 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 22:54:38 +0000 Jaime 2411667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So interesting! We use high thread count cotton and can't remember ever sleeping on linen sheets. I will open my eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linensheets#post-2411655 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 21:47:53 +0000 Cookie 2411655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please do share where you found these magical sheets! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linensheets#post-2411652 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 21:33:41 +0000 Irina 2411652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m with you! I switched to linen bedding a few years ago and haven’t looked back. Love the cosy feeling and look. I fold my laundry right away to avoid too wrinkled look and iron pillowcases. My other pillow cases are silk.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linensheets#post-2411646 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 19:43:08 +0000 avicennia 2411646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just bought a pair of Quince pajamas in linen. As much as I loved linen, I was a bit worried that it would feel a little bit scratchy for PJs. Not to worry! I love going to sleep with them keeps me both cool and warm just as needed </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linensheets#post-2411645 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 19:28:24 +0000 Roberta 2411645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am very pleased for you! Sheets are so important - we spend a third of our life in them, like the old commercial said. You might also look at Garnet Hill, as they have several styles of linen sheets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linensheets#post-2411640 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 19:11:37 +0000 Ket 2411640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Angie</b>, I admit, I was worried this would be scratchy linen too!! Surprisingly, it has been anything but. I do like cotton, just not sheets. The new duvet cover I purchased last autumn is 100% cotton. (I only wish it was heavier fabric; one of the cats put a small cut in it with their nails.) Bought it for the color; it is the most perfect warm deep berry plum. It's a very soft cotton and I think I would try cotton like that for sheets. Bingo! It's really hard troubleshooting with bed sharing, I so agree. My husband actually doesn't care. He would probably sleep on polyester microfiber despite running hot ha! &nbsp;But I cannot stand a damp, clammy sleep experience. He doesn't understand why I spent $150 on one set of sheets. Me? I get into bed every night with relish and delight, excited to sleep on the darn sheets haha!<div><br /></div><div><b>Carol</b>, this is soft linen. I really mean that. I was expecting it to be a bit rough or scratchy. It's not. Happy to share the link if you want to try them. They really remind me of a heavy pair of flannel sheets without the flannel nap. It's the best comparison I can make.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Jaileen</b>, ooo!! I will definitely keep these in mind for the future. "The day I change the sheets, I go to bed early to luxuriate in them. This is my luxury - not a fancy house, fancy car, fancy clothes - just these sheets." I so, so agree! That's what I love to do too. I wake up and sometimes I luxuriate in the sheets.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linensheets#post-2411637 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 18:30:48 +0000 JAileen 2411637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite sheets are Macy’s Hotel Collection. &nbsp;I always hang them on the clothesline to dry. &nbsp; I check the weather forecast for the week, to see which day is best to dry them. &nbsp;They are so smooth but also crisp. &nbsp;The day I change the sheets, I go to bed early to luxuriate in them. &nbsp;This is my luxury - not a fancy house, fancy car, fancy clothes - just these sheets. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linensheets#post-2411632 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 17:32:00 +0000 Carol 2411632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, great idea. I am just hot when I sleep all the time, and that is on cotton. I would love linen, if just for another feel.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linensheets#post-2411630 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 17:15:30 +0000 Angie 2411630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fascinating! Glad you've found a perfect solution, <b>Ket</b>! It can be hard to satisfy the needs of two people sharing a bed. Excellent troubleshooting (Sateen in sheets can absolutely be problematic - I get it).</p> <p>Personally, I have bad experiences with linen sheets. &nbsp;I was at a fantastic B&amp;B in Antwerp where the bed was made up in linen sheets. It was awful. Scratchy, and very uncomfortable. It made my skin red every morning. I could not sleep :(</p> <p>Hubs and I are high thread count 100% cotton sheet lovers. Percale works. Parachute, Ralph Lauren, and West Elm make good cottons sheets. Our pillow cases are 100% silk. They all launder extremely well too.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/linensheets#post-2411628 Mon, 27 Apr 2026 17:01:30 +0000 Ket 2411628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Linen and I have rarely crossed paths. Too stiff. Too earthy. Too much body, not enough drape. I had one pair of chocolate linen cropped wide- leg "gauchos" in the early 2000s. (Remember when cropped everything was the rage, especially jersey gaucho pants?) They were from Old Navy and I really loved them. But otherwise, I haven't loved linen.&nbsp;</p> <p>Until now.&nbsp;</p> <p>Sheets have been a hard thing for me and Hubs. My husband runs hot and I need a lot of temperature regulation. My body temp can run from cold to warm to sweaty in one night. Not every night, but on occasion, I do experience a lot of variation.&nbsp;</p> <p>Cotton is either too rough or too. Last year's set of organic cotton sheets were sateen weave. (Didn't realize it until it was too late.) The sateen weave left us both clammy. Then the sheets tore last month. Percale honestly hasn't been that much better.&nbsp;</p> <p>Bamboo was a great disappointment. Not at all as "cool" or temp regulating as promised. The set we had frayed at the corner pocket seams after only 6 months.&nbsp;</p> <div><br /></div><div>Enter linen.&nbsp; </p> <p>I had never considered linen sheets. I kept researching which sheet material to try next. Linen kept coming up everywhere. Found an organic set.</p> <p>I am in LOVE! I never wake up overly warm or cold. And we are both dry upon waking. The texture of this particular brand is soft in a toothy way. It's like heavyweight flannel fabric had all of the flannel flocking rubbed off. Too early to tell how they'll hold up to wear and use. But still, very, very happy.&nbsp;</p> </div><div><br /></div><div>I have no plans to wear linen, but I'm forever converted to sleeping on linen!</div></p>
