Can this company take your bedding from average to stunning? In this Bed Threads review, we aim to find out. We’ll go over the brand, its mission, products, customer reviews and more to help you figure out if the items are worth buying.
Overview of Bed Threads
Silk, cotton, polyester – there are many fabrics from which bed linen is made. But that doesn’t mean they should be. Bed Threads came onto the scene in 2017 to offer customers an alternative: Linen made from 100% flax.
The brand’s founders, Genevieve and Alan Rosen, chose this fabric for several reasons. After failing to find the perfect linen bedding that was 100% linen, affordable and included all the bedding pieces they needed, the Rosen couple decided to design their own bedding.
Flax linen is affordable, comfortable and can be used in hot and cold climates. Initially, the brand only offered a fitted sheet, a comforter and two pillowcases. Within the first week of launching the website, Bed Threads was completely sold out. Apparently, many people were looking for the perfect bedding.
Recently, the brand became OEKO-Tex certified, meaning its factories adhere to strict ethical and sustainable manufacturing practices, and it is a carbon neutral brand, meaning it offsets carbon emissions from production and shipping.
With the aim of doing more for the world, the company donates $1 from every sale to i=Change, a platform where customers can choose where their donation goes. The company is based in Australia but delivers worldwide.

Bed Threads Linen Sheets Review
This Bed Threads review features the brand’s best-selling comforter covers in their most popular colors. Below you’ll find highly pigmented Rust, Sage and Terracotta colors that come with a convenient storage bag.
Each color is available in six different sizes, ranging from Twin to King. Depending on the size you order, the total price is $140-$230.
Bed Threads Rust 100% Flax Linen Duvet Cover Review
Comforters have the magical ability to keep you warm in winter and breathable in summer. Whether you’re lolling in the air from the air conditioner or curling up in front of the heater, the 100% linen Rust comforter cover will regulate your temperature and keep you comfortable and sweat-free.
The bold, earthy color of this Rust comforter cover is rich and full of life. It has been pre-washed so that you can immediately feel how soft it is when you pull it out of the bag. The Rust comforter from Bed Threads is available in most traditional bed sizes and ensures a comfortable night’s sleep.
Bed Threads Sage 100% Flax Linen Duvet Cover Review
Linen is a fabric that creases easily, but according to some well-known fashion designers, it looks better this way. Wrinkles create a relaxed, effortless look, and with linen it doesn’t look messy. Instead, it just looks like you’ve enjoyed it and got used to it – which is how your bed should be too.
The Sage Green comforter cover from Bed Threads is a light, mossy, pale green, reminiscent of a peaceful forest. The relaxing and neutral sage green can be paired with pretty much any color, but we like the idea of pairing it with white to keep the zen vibe 100% intact. Create the ideal stress-free environment with the Sage comforter cover from Bed Threads.
Bed Threads Linen Sheet Sets Review
Bedding sets are a convenient way to buy everything you need to give your bed a new look and character. The products featured below in this Bed Threads review are some of the brand’s bestsellers, including complete sets in Rust, Sage, Terracotta and Petrol.
Each set is offered in nine different sizes, ranging from Twin to Cali King. Each set, valued from $230-$340, includes:
- 2 100% flax linen pillowcases
- 1 100% linen fitted sheet
- 1 100% flax linen comforter cover
- 1 100% flax linen storage bag
Bed Threads Rust 100% Flax Linen Bedding Set Review
With its reddish, orange-brown color, the Rust 100% Flax Linen bedding set furnishes your bed in a monotone color scheme. This color of rust-colored sheets, pillowcases and comforter from Bed Threads pairs well with other neutral colors and natural accents.
Bed Threads Sage 100% Flax Linen Bedding Set Review
This light-colored bed linen set is all about being cool, calm and relaxed. Made from 100% flax, Sage bed linen gets softer the more you wash it. This subtle morning dew color is rather cool.
Bed Threads Petrol 100% Flax Linen Bedding Set Review
Petrol is a smoky, moody blend reminiscent of a raging sea during a storm or a cloudy sky at night.
Made from 100% linen, the extremely soft Petrol bed linen will envelop you and lull you to sleep with its relaxing look and feel. We like the idea of incorporating this bedding into a bedroom with brassy metallic tones and touches of beige and white.
Is Bed Threads Ethical?
Bed Threads is very transparent in terms of its sourcing and manufacturing. The flax used for the 100% French flax bedding is pesticide free and the entire plant is utilized, so no waste is left over.
Once the flax is processed, it is sent to China, where Bed Threads’ production facilities are located. These facilities are OEKO-Tex certified, so customers can sleep easy knowing that the brand’s workers are paid above minimum wage and the conditions in the facilities are clean, bright and airy.
Are Bed Threads Soft?
When your bedding sets from Bed Threads arrive, they are not exactly soft. At first they are a little scratchy, but after a few washes they show their softer side. And the more you wash your sheets, the more luxurious and buttery soft they become.
How Do You Wash Bed Threads?
Bed Threads uses two different fabrics for its products, which have different care instructions. We present both of them below:
- 100% French flax linen: Wash in cold water on gentle cycle. Use liquid detergent only. Dry on the line. The brand does not recommend tumble drying Bed Threads linen bedding, but if you must, please do so on a low setting. Never bleach, iron or dry clean.
- 100% Mongolian cashmere: Turn the items inside out. Use a detergent for cashmere and natural wool. Wash by hand or in the wool cycle of your washing machine. If you use a machine, put the items in a special bag. Lay flat to dry.
The bedding brand offers more than just bedding. On their website you will also find nightwear and home accessories such as Bed Threads Memor Studio Ceramics.
In the next section of this Bed Threads review, we’ll introduce you to a selection of comforters, bedding sets and comfy sleep accessories. All products can be purchased in installments with Afterpay and Sezzle.
Bed Threads Reviews: What Do Customers Think?
You may think the brand’s products look and sound great, but you want to know what they’re like in reality. Don’t worry, this is the part of the Bed Threads review where we compile the most helpful customer comments from around the web. Below, you’ll read reviews taken from the brand’s website, product reviews, and Reddit.
On the brand’s website, the best-selling products have been reviewed dozens to hundreds of times. Customers are extremely satisfied with the look, feel and durability of the sheets, comforter covers and pillowcases. The following products have all received 4.9/5 stars:
- Bed Threads Rust Duvet Cover (out of 149 reviews)
- Sage 100% Linen Duvet Cover Set (out of 137 reviews)
- Turmeric 100% Linen Pillowcases (from 179 reviews)
- Lavender Bed Threads Linen Bed Sheet (from 77 reviews)
- Oatmeal 100% Flax Linen Throws (from 30 reviews)
Ok, they are all very good and have lots of reviews. We’ll take a closer look at the 100% linen turmeric pillowcases because they have the most reviews (and they’re really pretty!).
Customers write about the beautiful “bold” color of these pillowcases as well as the soft fabric and high-quality feel. A comprehensive review of Bed Threads also complements the company’s website:
“Bed Threads was fantastic to work with, the website was easy to use, delivery was prompt and the products are beautiful.” It seems that it’s a solid experience from start to finish.
Since 100% of reviewers would recommend these pillowcases to others, it was hard to find any negative comments. The issues that buyers had were more personal in nature and related to size, but we did find one who noted that “the cuff should be larger as the pillow sometimes slips out”. Small details are important, especially with a luxury brand.
On Bed Threads’ product review page, the company received an average rating of 4.6/5 stars based on 644 customer reviews. 519 customers gave the brand a perfect rating, and only 12 gave a 1-star rating.
Customers rave about the great products and outstanding customer service. Take this example: “I have sensitive skin and my husband sleeps hot. These sheets are perfect for our skin, they are cool and fresh and just look beautiful.”
Sheets are an important part of a good night’s sleep, so it’s good to know that they suit many different preferences.
We looked at the 1-star range to see what these 12 shoppers didn’t like about Bed Threads. It turned out that most of them thought the exact opposite of what the 5-star reviewers did. For example, one customer thought the brand’s sheets were mediocre: “The quality is average. Linen sheets are linen sheets.”
A Bed Threads review on a Reddit thread reveals issues one user had with the company’s sheets. The concern was that “after 3 washes, it seems to get rougher… the seams and threads come apart [like] crazy, even when washed on the gentlest cycle.” This doesn’t sound typical of the sheets’ normal behavior.
Another member who owns Bed Thread Rust’s sheets and pillowcases commented on this issue, saying that they “feel the same as my smoother sheets in terms of softness. The same member advised the original user to contact customer service.
They eventually did: “Bed Threads has very good customer service and was very apologetic about my experience. They also shipped the replacement the next day via expedited shipping (from Australia to California).” Mistakes do happen, and it’s how a company responds to them that matters.
So are Bed Threads good? On the whole, customers have a lot of good things to say about the company and are delighted with the quality and feel of the bedding. However, everyone has their own preferences, and it’s understandable that some customers are looking for something different.
Is Bed Threads Worth It?
Bed sheets are linen sheets. Although they become softer over time, they are thicker and less soft than other sheets. However, linen has its advantages: It’s durable, breathable and cool.
The company has a rustic feel and offers bright, earthy colors that create a natural aesthetic in your bedroom. The brand itself is carbon neutral and adheres to ethical practices in its factories. It ships in eco-friendly materials and does not use pesticides on its flax. We can only support these decisions.
We think Bed Threads is a good brand and that their bedding is worth buying – but because linen has a unique feel, it may not be for everyone.
