DAPU100% Linen Pillowcases 20x30 Inches Pillow Cases (Pack of 2) with Envelope Closure, Stone Washed Breathable and Cooling (Natural Linen, Queen)

Great help with temperature control, as advertised - good breathability. I slept much better all night through. No waking up to toss them off, then later to pull back on for too warm or too cold. Texture is not as smooth as my 600 count cotton sheets but still soft (always wash all cloth items before first use), but the trade-off is worth it. Definitely will purchase again when buying additional sheets .Add-on. I have gone back and purchased the off-white sheets and white pillow cases (king size, as previous natural set). Don't know why the difference in name, they match, and are both white. Another reviewer nailed what it seems many of have been trying to describe - these sets are soft, but not so smooth as high count cotton. I happen to like the grain of the flax fiber, it feels like good quality trousers. The natural has a more pronounced grain while the white is noticably smoother, my guess is because white has been more processed, bleached? However both are soft, and they continue to be more so with more washings, as well as seeming to also become smoother over time. I am absolutely sold on the qualities of 100% flax sheets/'linens'!

I must have read a hundred reviews before purchasing this set of sheets and pillow cases. I’ve washed them twice so far and they keep getting softer. The most surprising thing was so many reviews said they’re husbands noticed a difference with the pillow cases. That they were cool and didn’t make them sweat. I kind of chuckled thinking my husband wouldn’t notice a difference. Well I was wrong. Shockingly he asked me when we were changing the linens to wash them if I’d gotten a different kind of sheets. And I asked him why…he said these pillow cases were so cool that he doesn’t wake up sweating. I really couldn’t even believe he recognized the difference, but true to the previous review, my husband too noticed the coolness of this fabric. I would highly recommend this brand!!

I've purchased sheets, pillowcases, and duvee cover from DAPU before, so when I got a king-sized pillow I went with them again. The bedding is soft and cool. It doesn't wrinkle (at least, very little) and looks sharp.

These are not the best linen sheets in the world. They are French GROWN flax, but this in no way means the flax is processed, milled, or woven in France. Just an FYI. Accordingly, these sheets feel a little more polished/processed than higher end linen sheets that are completely produced in Europe. Why? It has to do with processing methods, the cost/legality/impact of those methods, and general quality control, value, etc. Also, how much they are bleached, and what sort of look consumers are after. My love for the rough linen fibers of historical process is probably NOT what other consumers have in their heart! As someone who has worked with linen from flax plant to finished woven piece, I can admit that I would not know these were 100% linen by their feel. They feel silky, a bit like mercerized cotton does, without the stiffness and weight I’m used to from fresh, unwashed, linen fabric. They are even silkier and lighter than most linen/tencel garment fabrics I’ve come across recently. That’s a good thing in the case of sheets, frankly!Things to be aware of: the threads are large and uneven. This is great! The slubby look is very in and very nice. The large threads make a thick fabric that is still gauzy. They are sheer because of the looseness of the fabric. If you pull a tightly woven cotton sheet in all directions it rarely gets too out of whack. These will, like any looser woven fabric. That makes them drape and feel wonderful. No stiffness. Very soft. Gauzy ness does men that these do NOT feel like a crisp, tight barrier between you and whatever you have on your mattress. I’m guessing if you had a blue mattress or a very yellow mattress topper it would show through, along with any texture like a terry cloth protector or whatever. So be warned in that regard.They are a great value. Just about any of the “French Linen” sheets inundating the market right now are the exact same sheets or at least the exact same mills. Differing reviews are likely just QC issues, SEO tomfoolery, and what have you. So there’s no reason to pay three times as much for another, identical set of Chinese sheets. So the value is good. Hence four stars.The star off really is because, although these are lovely sheets for the price, they are not as thick or strong as higher quality linen sheets. The seams on the pillowcases are poorly sewn and uneven. I can’t really afford better linen sheets, so they will have to do. 100% cotton sheets of any quality are becoming rarer and rarer, and frankly I just love linen for anything. Poly blend sheets and microfiber sheets wear horribly, suck to stain treat, and make my skin miserable. Linen is just lovely. And these will do. They feel a little too processed (how else do you get bright white linen?), they’re thin, but my oh my do I love them. These were a good test run to ease the husband into linen sheets, since in the future I will want more natural linen!I live in a VERY cold, dry climate. I am first using these in the winter and they’re great. They handle sweat better than cotton (though not as well as less “pearly” linen) but don’t feel cold. Less pearly/shiny/silky linen tends to swell a great deal when wet, which makes it very wicking. This isn’t quite that good. Great compromise for me (who is always too warm) and the husband (who is often too cold but sweats). We are both comfortable and these just feel luxurious compared to stiff cotton sheets or cheapy poly blends.And of course...very on trend.

great quality, value. many color options too.

Good quality. Washes well.

These pillowcases are well made and very comfortable.

Too large for our pillows, looks baggy and unattractive. Came out of the drier very wrinkled. Would not buy again.
