Reply to comment by 5spd4wd in Linen bedsheets that last more than 2 years by eyelinerandicecream

Thank you for your rec but I am looking for linen sheets not cotton.

Edit: the internet is wild. I ask for recommendations for linen sheets and receive a response about cotton sheets. I politely say thank you and try to steer the conversation back to the item I am interested in, linen sheets, and I get downvoted. Just wild.

I use sheets that I've found a estate sales. Old but new in unopened packages. Women used to buy sheet sets and tuck them away for when they needed them. I'm talking about sheets that were made in the 1950s, 19560s, of 100% natural cotton. These sheets last forever and standup very well to hot water washing.

someone who used to work a levi's told me that if you want a replacement, all you have to say is that your jeans shrunk when you washed them and theyll replace them for you.

but this was a few years ago i dont know if it will work.

I love the IKEA blue bags so much. Easily the best and most versatile bag i own. I use the bag to carry firewood for camping; beach bag to carry chairs, tent, and towels in one trip; laundry basket and grocery hauler for single trips. The possibilities are endless lol
