Quince Luxury Organic Sateen Embroidered Sheet Set
Last month, a few members of the R29 Shopping team divulged their favorite buys from the popular MTC marketplace Quince. According to our sex and wellness writer, Charlotte Lewis, the retailer's Organic Embroidered Sheet Set is the one to beat. "I am a really bad sleeper with a ton of sensory issues, so changing up sheets is always a bit of a risk for me," she writes. "Newly washed sheets always feel great, but even after a week of sleeping on them, the Quince sheets remained soft, crisp, and fresh because they’re so breathable. They’ve been washed multiple times, have seen zero signs of wear or pilling, and, honestly, I can’t believe how affordable they are given how much they feel like my best sheet set (literally they’re one-third of the price)."
