I’ve been a loyal fan of linen bedding for over 7 years, but my experience with Cultiver was disappointing. I ordered the double-sized linen sheet set in the Cedar colour. While the pillowcases fit well, the fitted and flat sheets were quite large, leaving too much extra fabric.
The bigger issue, however, was the shedding/pilling. After a couple of days, I noticed the sheets had shed little pills that ended up staining my mattress. I washed the sheets multiple times as recommended by Cultiver, but the pilling persisted. Even if the pilling eventually stops, my mattress is already stained, and my washing machine repeatedly gets covered in these little pills.
When I reached out to Cultiver, they told me that linen sheets do pill and suggested washing them more often. However, I’ve never experienced this level of shedding with other linen sheets, and I'm now worried that they won't last very long from washing them so much. Based on this experience, I can’t recommend it.
