I just purchased my second set of cultiver linen sheets. My first set is 3 years old. Around the same time I purchased a set of linen sheets from a competitor. Those developed holes and tears after 2 years, but my cultivers are in excellent shape, thick, soft, with a nice heft. They’re more breathable than cotton in the heat but still warm in the cold. The colors are beautiful too and don’t fade, but they soften beautifully with each washing. If you love the look and feel of linen sheets, these are the best value I’ve found.
