Quince bedding review: My honest thoughts on their sheets, pillowcases and duvets as a home editor
Is this brand as dreamy as the internet says? We tested Quince's organic cotton and jersey bedding as well as its "bamboo" sheets to find out.

If you're shopping for new bed sheets
, you'll probably encounter offerings from Quince. The brand has made a name for itself producing luxe basics at affordable prices, from a $50 Mongolian cashmere sweater
to an array of supplements packaged in minimalist-chic pouches
. While there is some debate about the quality of certain Quince products (just search the brand on Reddit
to see what I mean), the brand generally delivers well-made goods for the price.
Which brings me to the brand's bedding. Quince sells sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers in a range of fabrics, including linen
, various types of cotton
, silk
and what it calls " bamboo
," which is actually viscose, a slinky, semi-synthetic fabric that's popular among hot sleepers for its cool-to-the-touch feel. As a longtime home editor, I've seen more than my fair share of bed sheets, and I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with Quince's offerings.
My colleagues and I tested six different bedding options for this story during a yearlong stint reviewing sheets. We slept on each style for at least three nights, but in many cases, much longer. We also washed everything multiple times. Curious how well everything held up? Here's my Quince bedding review.
Quince bedding reviews
Organic Classic Cotton Percale Sheet Set
Sizes:Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, Cal King, Split King | Material:Organic cotton | Colors:Toffee (shown), white, Espresso, Mist, ivory and 20 more
Cotton percale sheets are known for their breathability, and these Quince sheets are no exception. They're made from 100% long-staple cotton that feels incredibly cool and crisp.
What we liked:Though it's lightweight, the fabric doesn't feel flimsy or too thin. For $100, you can't beat the quality. We found this set to be even more comfortable than an almost-identical Brookinen set (both 270 thread count and made in India from long-staple cotton).
Notably, you can purchase this Quince sheet set either with or without a top sheet, which is a bonus for those who prefer to go straight to a duvet and are usually left with extra sheets they won't use. It also knocks the price down to just $70.
What we would change:We did notice some sloppy stitching at the corners of the sheets, but it did not get worse with washing. We should also point out that these sheets are labeled Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)-certified — meaning they meet strict guidelines for growing practices and production methods — but Quince doesn't appear in the GOTS supplier directory. The company has confirmed they are GOTS-certified.
- Lightweight
- Cool to the touch
- Affordable
- Available without a top sheet for $30 less
- Stitching at corners is a bit sloppy
Organic Brushed Cotton Duvet
Sizes:Twin, Full/Queen, King/Cal King | Material:Organic cotton | Colors:Fig (shown), Dusty Olive, Terracotta, Toffee, Espresso and four more
The brand says it uses a "dual-sided brushing process" on its Brushed Cotton percale sheets and duvet, and the result is very cozy!
What we liked:The Brushed Cotton collection (you can also get sheet sets) comes in nine lovely colors, including some earth tones that are a bit less expected than the traditional neutrals. The feel of the fabric is what really makes these stand out, though: It's appealingly lived in, almost like a beloved tee. The duvet feels soft and substantial — and it gets softer over time.
Long, sturdy ties in each corner make it easy to secure the duvet cover to an insert, as do the buttons on the bottom. They're spaced 7 inches apart, close enough to look tidy but not so close that it takes forever to make the bed.
What we would change:We noticed lots of loose threads on this duvet cover, especially after it went through a wash-and-dry cycle. The peached texture also makes it look slightly fuzzy, like it's gotten a lot of wear. Last time we checked, select colors were out of stock, but you can join the waitlist to be notified when your preferred hue is back in stock
- Very soft to the touch
- Sturdy, substantial ties and buttons
- Generously sized
- Comes in nine pretty colors
- Peached texture might look too worn to some
European Linen Sheet Set
Sizes:Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, Cal King | Material:European flax | Colors:Sand (shown), dusty mauve, navy, bordeaux, nightfall and 24 more
It's hard to come by a queen-size set of linen sheets for less than $200, and this cracks the threshold, making these a real win for linen lovers.
What we liked:Made from European-grown flax (considered some of the highest quality flax around), these pre-washed sheets feel smooth and substantial. They drape nicely, and though they have linen's signature rumpled look, they don't get excessively wrinkled in the wash. The seams are neat, but we noticed a few small pulls in the stitching of the top sheet and fitted sheet.
They fit easily over a mattress and were very large (for reference, Quince's queen flat sheet measures 108 inches by 100 inches, whereas our top pick from Bokser Home measures 104 inches by 94 inches). They also beat out a lot of the competition when it came to our moisture-wicking test, which you can read more about further down in this story.
The sheets have held up well since I began testing them. I actually can't even tell the difference between the pillowcase I've slept on and washed and a fresh one I never used.
What we would change:The fabric is a bit thin, and it's also not particularly cool to the touch. These sheets did seem to hold on to body heat more than other linen bed sheets we tried.
- Made from European flax
- Comes in 19 colors and 10 patterns
- Generously sized
- Available without a flat sheet for $90 less
- Held onto body heat
- Had some small pulled threads out of the package
Bamboo Sheet Set
Sizes:Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, Cal King | Material:Viscose | Colors:Sand, Eucalyptus, light gray, olive, ivory and five more
If you're a hot sleeper, you've probably looked into "bamboo" or similar viscose sheets because they're known to be cool to the touch and breathable. Quince's version hits both notes for a decent price, though we were less impressed with this sheet set than the brand's other bedding.
What we liked:The color on these sheets is striking — choose one of the deeper shades (they come in 10, although the hue we tested is no longer available), and they'll definitely make a statement! As you'd expect with a viscose sheet, they also feel very cool to the touch, and they dry quickly. Their silky quality is probably not for everyone, but if that's something you like, you'll enjoy these sheets, as they only get more so with time.
What we would change:These sheets didn't hold up especially well in the wash. They developed wrinkles that were so deep, they looked permanent, as if the fabric had shriveled like a raisin. We also noticed they picked up a lot of lint.
Size-wise, they're a bit snug: We struggled to get the fitted sheet over a standard king mattress (though we appreciated the tags that noted the top and bottom), and the flat sheet wasn't wide enough to tuck under the mattress.
- Colors are saturated and striking
- Dries quickly
- Very smooth and silky
- Noticeably cool to the touch — and stay cool overnight
- Developed impossible-to-remove wrinkles
- Don't appear to wear well in the wash
Organic Jersey Sheet Set
Sizes:Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, Cal King | Material:Organic cotton jersey | Colors:Moss (shown), white, natural, heather gray
Quince's jersey sheets evoke a traditional cotton tee, boasting a cool-to-the-touch quality that's unique for this type of material.
What we liked:They felt slightly softer than the other jersey sheets we tried — plus Quince's sheets were stretchier, which made it easy to smooth out the light wrinkles that resulted from shipping. The color stayed saturated post-washing and drying, and there was very minimal shrinkage. Getting the fitted sheet's 16-inch-deep pockets onto a mattress was a breeze, and the sheet didn't budge during sleeping. These sheets also absorbed water quickly (and it spread farther than on similar options), making them a smart pick for hot sleepers who like the softness of jersey bedding.
What we would change:Only four colors are available, with no patterned options. The stitching around the sides and bottom of the top sheet is also very close to the edge, though we didn't notice any signs of loose threads or unraveling.
- Softer and stretchier than many others we tested
- Oeko-Tex-certified
- Moisture-wicking
- Hardly shrank after washing and drying
- Comes in just four colors
Mulberry Silk Pillowcase
Sizes:Standard, Queen, King | Material:Mulberry silk | Colors:Champagne, silver, charcoal, light blue, ivory and eight more
Silk pillowcases help reduce friction on your face and hair, which can lead to less creased skin and smoother hair. Quince's version? A solid buy at $45.
What we liked:There's no doubting this pillowcase is made from silk — it felt incredibly smooth and soft. It comes in 13 colors, so it's easy to find something that complements your existing bedding (however, the pink shade pictured is no longer available). We appreciated how the zipper enclosure kept the pillow from slipping, a frequent annoyance with this kind of bedding.
Mulberry silk is generally of a higher caliber than regular silk and of significantly better quality than synthetic satin or silky materials sold for much less. Quince's pillowcase has a momme (a unit of weight that can help you gauge silk's quality) of 22, meaning it's fairly dense and heavy. To compare, Blissy's popular silk pillowcase is also 22 momme, but retails for $59.
What we would change:This pillowcase came with significant creases, and it was difficult to get them out after washing and drying. Quince also recommends you line-dry this piece; while this is typical for silk, some other companies say you can machine-dry their pillowcases.
- Exceptionally soft and smooth
- Affordable
- Zipper enclosure keeps things from shifting
- Made of high-quality silk
- Wrinkly
- Line dry-only
How we test sheets
We sleep on the job! Joking aside, we test all the pieces at home, using our own washers and dryers and, yes, sleeping on them in our own beds. To start, once we take each item out of the packaging, we inspect it carefully, looking for red flags like loose threads, snags, dye imperfections and excessive wrinkling. For sheet sets, we measure one pillowcase from each, then set it aside as a control. We wash and dry the rest of the bedding according to the care label's instructions to remove any finishes or softeners from the manufacturer.

We then do a second inspection and feel each piece to determine fabric softness, coolness and smoothness. We follow that with a moisture-wicking test: We use a dropper to apply a couple of drops of water to a taut section of the fabric. We checked how quickly the drops of water expanded and how big the spot grew — the larger, the better when it comes to moisture-wicking.
Then comes the sleep test. We make our bed, noting how easy it is and how the sheets/pillowcases/duvet fit. We sleep on the sheets for at least three nights, then wash them again, observing whether they got softer (yay!) or showed signs of wear (boo!). We also measure the washed pillowcase, comparing it against the control for shrinkage and fading.
Is Quince bedding worth the money?
Based on our testing, in most cases, we would say yes. The brand delivers well-made and stylish sheets, duvets and pillowcases for a reasonable price. The fabrics feel good and seem to hold up well, though we have noticed some heavy wrinkles and sloppy stitching on certain items. We're especially fans of Quince's cotton percale and linen sheets, which look and feel similar to more expensive brands.

Is Quince good quality bedding?
For the price, it is! While we don't consider Quince a luxury brand, we do think it makes high-quality sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers for a mid-range price.
Why are Quince sheets so cheap?
Quince is a DTC brand, meaning it sells its products directly to consumers from the manufacturer. This helps cut down on costs, like warehouses for storing product, that other companies have to deal with.
Quince vs. Brooklinen: Which bedding brand is better?
As someone who has slept on both Quince and Brooklinen sheets , I can say it's a toss-up. Brooklinen got its start by selling hotel-quality sheets at a fair price. It offers durable bed sheets that generally hold up after years of use, and the brand is often name-checked by designers and stylists I interview. When all is said and done, though, Quince remains the better bargain, and after months of sleeping on its sheets, I find the quality doesn't differ too much from Brooklinen.
Update, Dec. 19, 2025: We checked prices and availability for all featured products and added a photo comparing the pillowcases from the Bamboo Sheet Set before and after use. Our impressions of Quince bedding remain unchanged.
We received complimentary samples of some products and purchased others ourselves, but we reviewed all products using the same objective criteria.
