I found that using flat sheets (and tucking them under mattress) instead of fitted sheets make them last longer. Heavier gsm is also best for durability. Linoto has some heavier denser linen sheets that will last far longer than Lands End / Pottery Barn. Other options are Etsy shops (LinaPlusHome has some amazing Italian woven linen sheets)

I have checked out Linoto. (I found it by searching for sheets on this subreddit but still decided to post since there wasn’t a dedicated post to just linen sheets). Someone posted that theirs have lasted seven years so far. At the current price it comes out to about $1.10 per week; that’s a much better deal then my current ones even though they are twice the price.

I’ll check out the Etsy brand as well.

Thank you for the recs.

Edit: Also now that I still have two flat sheets I can start using one as a bottom sheet. Guess I can get some more life out of the current ones I have.

I purchased the Linoto set and was hugely disappointed. They ripped less than a year after owning. The company did not fix the issue and told me it was because i did not line dry them after every wash. I would absolutely not recommend using them as the quality is no longer there.

Oh wow! Thank you for the heads up. Yeah, I’m not always able to line dry. I do always tumble dry on the lowest setting if I can’t but I would be very disappointed in spending that money and them not doing anything about it because I can’t always line dry. 😬
