My linen bed sheets are still shedding a lot after almost a year of use. I feel like I’m breathing in the white dust from the shedding which really bothers me (worried for my lungs). Any advice?

I’ve made the switch to linen sheets a couple months ago and got them from West Elm. Have had a linen duvet cover from them for a couple years. No issues with shedding and super comfortable.

I recommend Ettitude sheets. I’ve also tried Brooklynin, and not a fan, but the Ettitude ones are amazing, and way better than anything at target

I use bamboo cotton and have never run into this issue! My oldest sheets are like a decade old, and still incredibly soft. No pilling, just a little faded

I was worried that it’s the way I’m washing/ drying it and might not be a problem with the product. I was considering getting Brook linen and try those out, but thanks for saving me from another headache. Maybe I’ll try my luck with target

Really glad for these reviews! I have the linen fitted sheet and pillow cases from Parachute and I haven’t had any problems- wash them by themselves (or just with other sheets, no clothing) on gentle and dry on low. I’ve had them since July. Love them and want to get another set, but now I no not to get Crate and Barrel or Brooklinen (which were probably my top two choices!)

Get bamboo sheets. They don't pill nor do they make linty dust.

I spent quite a bunch of money on these sheets & duvet covers. Got them from Crate & Barrel and thought they would be great quality. Not sure if it’s the product or it’s just common for all linen sheets

If your unwilling to give up the sheets, buy an air purifier
