I have to admit that I’m a bit of a linen snob — and while there are now a great variety of linen sheets at accessible price points, I regret to inform you that it just doesn’t get better than The Citizenry’s stonewashed linen bedding bundle. You really do get what you pay for.
I’ve long been a fan of many of the more popular DTC linen sheet brands, but The Citizenry just blows them out of the water. Even as someone with a proclivity for the lavish, I was shocked by just how much more luxurious these sheets are than all the rest.
First, there’s the aesthetics. These sheets are absolutely gorgeous. They come packaged in their own beautiful linen bag, which you better believe I’ll be repurposing for years to come. The sheets come in 12 delightfully earthy solid colors and four simple and timeless different patterns; I opted for the graphite thin stripe set, but trust me when I say I had a very difficult time choosing. They immediately elevated the entire look and feel of my whole room with a decidedly “expensive European villa” vibe.
I immediately noticed (and reviewers also noted) that unlike other linen sheets, there is no “break-in” period. The sheets arrive as soft and if you’ve been washing them regularly for months, minus the wear and tear. They’re shockingly thick and plush, significantly more so than any other linen sheets I’ve experienced. The fact that they continue to get softer while still retaining the same level of thickness is mind-bending. It’s no wonder they’re a bestseller.
The Citizenry’s stonewashed linen sheets are sustainably made with the most heavenly organic French flax my body has ever felt. They’re sustainably crafted in a family-run mill in Portugal with a process that is guaranteed by the World Fair Trade Organization, so you can feel good knowing that you’re investing in items that are made in an eco-friendly and fair-trade environment.
Each bundled set comes with a standard sheet set (a flat sheet, a fitted sheet and two pillowcases) plus a duvet cover and two extra pillowcases. Most comparable brands don’t include a duvet cover in their bundle and often only provide two pillowcases. There may be some initial sticker shock when you check out, but you can rest easy knowing that you’re definitely getting a very robust set of bedding.

The Citizenry’s stonewashed linen bed bundle
Senior shopping writer Lourdes Avila Uribe regrets to inform us that the Citizenry’s high-quality linen bedding set is worth the premium price tag.
“I immediately noticed (and reviewers also noted) that unlike other linen sheets, there is no ‘break-in’ period,” she wrote in previous coverage. “The sheets arrive as soft and if you’ve been washing them regularly for months, minus the wear and tear.

The fact that they continue to get softer while still retaining the same level of thickness is mind-bending. It’s no wonder they’re a bestseller.”
Available in a whopping 17 different colors and patterns in full, queen, king and California king sizes, it doesn't get much more high-end and luxurious than this stunning bedding. Each set includes a flat sheet, fitted sheet and two pillowcases.
Promising reviews:
“Could not be happier! These are by far are the best sheets I have had and are worth every penny. Not only do they look great but they are so comfy it’s addicting!” — Austin B.
“Softest linen! I have purchased linen from many different vendors, Snowe, Coyuchi, Pottery Barn, but have not loved it like I love the linen from Citizenry. It is incredibly soft and breathable. There is no “break in” period and feels lovely against your skin immediately. The weight is light which makes it breathable especially in the humid summer months of NYC!” — Olivia L.
“Wow. I got these partly for my partner’s birthday. Switching to these from thrifted cotton sheets, we are both in heaven. I love the breathability—my feet often get hot/dry, so I’ll have to poke them out the side of the bed, but they’re comfortable with these linen sheets. I really love the look too.” — Heather M.
“Wow. LOVE the stonewashed bedding. It looks just like the picture and feels AMAZING. I’m sort of jealous of the guest bedroom now... Should also note that customer service was quick to respond and very easy to communicate with. I appreciate this brand for their products and how they treat their customers. Gotta go rethink the main bedroom now.” — Logan
“My favorite linen bedding. I tried a couple of other brands like Brooklinen and Parachute, but Citizenry is my favorite. It’s soft and has the best colors. I did notice that the darker color is softer than my white set for some reason.” — Trina
I always like to round out pricey recommendations with more affordable ones, so I’ve included a couple of alternate options below if the Citizenry’s sheets are currently cost-prohibitive. Keep reading to make them yours.
