Highly recommended review: "The quality is immediately noticeable compared to other linen sheets. Two key differences — these sheets are twice as heavy, and the weave is much stronger. I own a few linen sheet sets, but it’s frustrating when you spend ~$300 and they last just a few years. My Linoto sheets have endured heavy use and remain in perfect condition after four years. Nothing else I’ve bought could keep up. They get softer with each wash and still feel like new. I wash them in cold water with a single washer detergent sheet and dry them on delicate heat for 65 minutes (about 2000 Watts at 125*F). No issues at all." —Zachary
