Review on 🛏️ TOSMO Pure Linen Sheets Set - 100% French Natural Linen Flax Bedding 4pc Set (Queen Size) - Butternut by Jeremy Therrien

I've been into natural fibers for a long time and started switching from cotton about two years ago. Linen fabric is a very durable, high-end upgrade that's great for hot climates (I live in Florida). Based on the fact that I have washed these sheets and slept in them for several weeks I believe they are real linen, the quality seems good and the thickness matches the sheets. If you are looking for linen bedding then I think TOSMO is good enough and if the price is right then go for it. First a little about flax. Thermal properties of flax: Linen is a natural fiber with interesting thermal properties. It absorbs moisture very well. Therefore, it feels cool in hot weather. It also tends to keep you warm in cold weather. Since it absorbs water well, it dries quickly. Obviously lay out dry laundry. Linen Texture: Linen tends to be rough. It softens over time but always feels textured. Linen also has texture when worn and is soft. For linen products, even excellent linen, there are usually negative reviews that the texture is rough or scratchy; This is a sign that flax is real and this was written by people who didn't know what flax was. With linen, the number of threads does not matter. Instead, the fibers are sorted by length, and good linen uses longer fibers while lower-quality linen uses short fibers. I don't know how to tell the difference and as far as I know there is no standard for marking fiber length. The difference ultimately comes down to the fact that the longer fibers in high quality linen last much longer and sheets or dresses made from this fabric will last and serve and serve. Well, I can't know until many years later *sigh*. These sheets were probably pre-washed as they looked a bit more worn compared to other linen sheets I've bought new. Washing: Linen is washed just like cotton - same detergents, same wash settings, no special care. But putting it in a heated dryer can drastically change the texture. It won't necessarily ruin it, but it's a bad idea. However, due to its wicking action, linen dries relatively quickly—faster than cotton and faster than any synthetic material of comparable thickness. In particular, moisture in the seams and creases penetrates the more exposed parts of the linen, so you don't end up with a largely dry sheet with wet seams. Instead, everything is dry at the same time with a linen towel. After washing I left the sheet for a couple of hours, threw it on a collapsible wood dryer and it was dry enough to store. Linen is durable: Linen is a very durable fabric. It is an elite product because it is expensive to grow and produce. Once crafted, this is the strongest fiber you can get. It lasts longer than cotton. Prices: Linen is expensive because it is expensive to produce. You can look into a fabric store to see prices per meter and from that you can see what sets of sheets will cost. Today, these sheets are expensive both for a set of sheets as a whole and at more on the low end of what a set of linen sheets would cost. Anything you find cheaper than new will say "linen" really big, but if you click on it, it's a linen/cotton blend. Due to occasional linen purchases over the past three years, duvets tend to have amazing sales, but sheets almost never really sell well. A set of linen towels costs over a hundred dollars even if I keep track of sales. Now these sheets: I believe they are real and I have no reason to doubt that they are linen. Each piece has been marked '100% linen' and has a linen feel. I now have two sets of linen sheets including duvets and this set of TOSMO sheets feels like linen, creases like linen and absorbs water like linen. They may have been prewashed or presoaked. It was a little softer and less rough than the new underwear I had before and more like worn underwear that had been washed a few times. I'm not saying it's good or bad. Elastic fabric encloses the sheet. Easy to climb onto the bed and holds up well. This is for a fairly deep mattress. These sheets are thinner than other brands I've tried. In general, however, I got rid of Chinese brand linen sheets, because I managed to find good sales on them. I tried the Revain Rivet brand and these sheets are thicker than linen Rivet comforters. The standard linen brand available is Simple and Opulence, which I've never really tried because I just couldn't find a good sale for it. So I can't compare it to Simple and Opulence. Although these TOSMO sheets are thinner than other linen comforters and sheets I own, I feel they are the right weight for the sheets. Also, thickness isn't an indicator of quality unless something made out of linen is thin enough to be cheaply made, which isn't an issue here. Instead, fiber length is a measure of the quality of the flax and, to my knowledge, there is no standard for such a designation. The quality seems good to me. It's "French flax," meaning the fiber is grown in France. The fiber is then processed and the panels are produced in China. People hate China and fakes and shoddy goods definitely come from there, but it is also the origin of silk and fine Chinese tableware. The sheets seem good, and even with cotton fabrics, most of the time the cotton is grown in the US and then made into fabric in China. After using the sheets I think everything is fine. These sheets had no chemical smell at all. Instead, they sometimes have a faint herbal odor that might be expected from laundry. The product description promised a fitted sheet, a fitted sheet and two pillowcases, which I got. When buying bed linen, sheets and pillowcases are sometimes sold separately, but in this case it is a set. Overall, linen is a great complement to quality bedding. It's both high quality and super durable and easy to care for (as long as you dry it, it lasts and lasts and lasts). Unlike cotton, it's textured, so maybe try a pillowcase first to see the texture. If you need linen then these TOSMO sheets seem to me to do quite well. I consider them authentic because I have linen towels from several different brands and they feel like linen. The quality seems to be ok. The sheets are quite thick and may have been pre-washed and are already a bit soft and worn. If the price is right for you, I think this is a totally reliable option for a linen duvet set.
