A Bedding Designer Reveals Where to Find the Top 10 Budget-Friendly Linen Sheets

However, as with most high-end and luxurious products, linen bedding can come with a hefty price tag. While linen bedding is a long-term investment meant to last for years, it doesn’t have to cost a fortune. To help you make a confident purchase, we consulted textile expert Lizzie Harper to identify retailers offering the best deals on linen bedding.

Harper, the founder of the bedding and home goods brand Lovelyskybed, prefers thicker, more textured, and rustic linen bedding over lighter alternatives that may feel softer initially. Although heavier linen requires some time to break in and comes with a higher upfront cost, Harper explains that its dense fiber content enhances durability and withstands washing and drying better. 

The Company Store provides 100% European linen sheets that are pre-washed and pre-shrunk. You can choose from a range of linen bedding options, including sheets, pillowcases, and other essentials, or opt for “top of bed” accessories like duvet covers, pillowcases, and bed skirts in a variety of enchanting colors.

Purchase the linen sheet set from The Company Store starting at $84+ (available in sizes Twin–King and seven colors).

During a recent visit, bedding designer Lizzie Harper was captivated by the sheets in a friend's guest room, which turned out to be from Bed Threads. Harper was amazed by their affordability, given their luxurious thickness, softness, and natural texture. 
The brand offers customizable bundles, allowing you to choose the components you need, or you can opt for a complete set that includes a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two pillowcases. For those who prefer to purchase items individually or experiment with color combinations, there are plenty of additional choices available.
