I am considering buying a set of linen sheets for my bed. Have any of you purchased them and if so, how do you like them? The ones I am looking at are high end, I believe. I love linen duvets and shirts.

I love, love sheets.  I actually get my sheets dry cleaned.  The other day I took in 18 sets (swear to you) of sheets to get cleaned. 

 

That's how much I love having fresh ironed sheets.  

 

I guess it's just me but I'd never buy linen sheets, like the other person said, I would think they'd wrinkle terribly.

I love nice sheets, too, and have thought about buying linen sheets.  In the end I was afraid they would look wrinkled all the time and I wouldn't be happy with them.  I ended up not buying them.

That would be so cool!  Can I ask how much that costs?  Do they really dry clean them or do they launder and iron them?

I love linen, but I've never seen sheets, etc. made of pure linen.  In fact, I just bought a linen shirt for summer.

 

Are the sheets supposed to be soft?

The descriptive write up says they are soft and luxurious. I don't know. I think they last for years. One of my sisters in law has linen sheets from her grandmother's house and they are still good. I have never slept on them. 

She sends a lot of her laundry out to be done.

I have a set that I rarely use because they have to be ironed. 

 

They are very course feeling, but if you like the feel of linen for bedding, you know what you're getting.

 

They will soften up from washing.
