Listen up, linen lovers, because today I’m reviewing the gorgeous #Linen Bedding Bundle from The #Citizenry. Spun from French linen (and stonewashed for extra softness!) these sheets are designed to bring sweet dreams to sleepers of all styles.
But while that sounds lovely, the only way to know for sure how they perform is to personally test them — and that’s exactly what I did! So keep reading this Citizenry linen #sheets #review because I’m about to show you how this bedding is made, how it feels, and which sleepers might love it the most.

0:45 First Impressions 1:15 What are The Citizenry Sheets Made Of? 2:30 What you get in the Bundle? 3:15 Who Should Buy The Citizenry Sheets? 4:30 The Citizenry Complaints
The Citizenry was founded in 2014 by Carly Nance and Rachel Bently, a pair of friends who met in their Freshman year of college. With a mission to improve and innovate the home goods industry, Nance and Bently made The Citizenry a one-stop-shop for bath, kitchen, and bedding accessories. And recently, the brand added tables, chairs, and bedroom furniture to its roster as well!
Of course, I’ll be focusing specifically on bedding in this review, as I get up close and personal with The Citizenry Linen Bedding Bundle. And I’ll be honest — I’ve heard some great things about this company on social media, so I’m extra excited to see what these sheets are all about. Let’s get started!

tell you everything there is to know about
13.01 -> these sheets.
14.01 -> Keep in mind that if you want to know more

click sleep accessories.

24.38 -> I'll show you all my personal favorites.
26.11 -> First, let's dive into these sheets.
30.13 -> I've got this Linen Bedding Bundle on the

33.55 -> Before I get into my first impressions, I
just want to say if throughout the course
36.84 -> of this video any questions come up, or you
want a personal recommendation from me, don't
40.53 -> hesitate to give me a shout in the comments

44.37 -> I'm just going to come right out and say it,
I'm in love with this betting.
47.43 -> Before I can even talk about how it feels,
just have to acknowledge how beautiful it
51.39 -> is.
52.39 -> It does come in a wide range of color options,
but I've got the slate blue that's complementing
56.739 -> the graphite stripe.
57.98 -> It's a very pretty aesthetic.
62.14 -> My favorite thing has got to be how super
soft and smooth it is.
66.2 -> As some of you probably already know, linen
is known for its distinctly coarse texture,
70.11 -> but this has got to be some of the softest
linen I've ever felt.
73.48 -> Let's take a closer look at what exactly it's
made of.
76.82 -> This bedding is made from 100 percent linen,
which is one of the world's oldest and most
81.28 -> beloved textiles, because it's got a reputation
for being very durable, super breathable,
86.86 -> and also has this distinctly coarse texture.
89.759 -> That said, I will tell you that this is some
of the softest linen I've ever tested.
94.369 -> We'll talk more about why that is in a moment.
97.09 -> Also keep in mind that linen is derived from
natural flax fibers, which makes this material
101.439 -> a good ecofriendly option.
103.52 -> The Citizenry sources its flax exclusively
from France.
107.19 -> It's also worth noting that this bedding is
woven in one of Portugal's oldest family-run
113.02 -> linen mills called the Machado Linen Mill.
115.579 -> If you're someone who likes to know where
their sheets come from, it might be worth
118.35 -> looking into that.
119.35 -> That said, my favorite thing about this linen
bedding is that every piece in this bundle
124.759 -> has been individually stonewashed, which is
a textile manufacturing technique essentially
130.2 -> used to cut through that coarse texture and
really boost the smooth feel.
136.02 -> That's why this is some of the softest linen
that I've ever felt.
141.52 -> Stonewashing also gives the fabric this casually
lived-in rustic aesthetic that I know many
147.03 -> sleepers, myself included, look for with linen
bedding.
150.41 -> With a full sheet set, you get one fitted
sheet, one top sheet, and two pillowcases.
156.45 -> You can opt for the bedding bundle, which
is what I've done, which comes with that full
160.58 -> sheet set, but also two additional pillow
cases and a duvet cover.
165.58 -> There are a wide variety of colors from which
to choose.
169.07 -> The folks at Citizenry say that the colors
are intended to be mixed and match.
173.83 -> That's what I've done, got the graphite stripe
and the slate blue, which I have to say complement
178.73 -> each other very nicely.
180.23 -> Now that we've taken a close look at these
sheets, let's go ahead and recap the highlights.
183.93 -> You can get a better sense about whether or
not it's the right fit for you.
186.78 -> There is a lot to like about this linen.
189.11 -> First of all, it is definitely some of the
softest linen I've ever felt.
193.87 -> If you're someone who shies away from linen
because you're scared it's going to be too
197.96 -> scratchy, a little bit too rough, I heartily
recommend you give this linen a try.
202.56 -> The stonewash process is really cutting through
that coarse feel and makes it feel super buttery
208.38 -> smooth.
209.38 -> Another thing to consider is that while yes,
linen is notorious for how breathable it is,
214.8 -> how perfect for summertime it is, keep in
mind that linen is thermoregulating, meaning
219.55 -> it adapts to your body's temperature.
222.22 -> This linen is definitely going to be great
for year-round use, which in my opinion gives
226.12 -> you great bang for your buck.
227.31 -> Something else that I love about this set
is that it comes in a wide range of beautiful
232.26 -> colors, all of which are designed to mix and
match.
235.24 -> Like I've said, I've got the graphite stripe
that's complementing the slate blue.
240.76 -> They're a beautiful color combination, but
there's a ton of options from which to choose,
244.84 -> so get creative.
246.06 -> Lastly, those of you with taller mattresses
are probably going to be most compatible with
249.95 -> the set because the fitted sheet comes with
super deep pockets of 15 inches deep.
254.36 -> In my experience, they could fit a little
bit bigger than that, and even fit mattresses
258.23 -> up to 16 or 17 inches deep.
260.34 -> As far as potential pitfalls are concerned,
it's really hard for me to come up with any
264.72 -> as far as craftsmanship goes.
266.91 -> This is definitely beautifully-made luxury
linen.
270.32 -> However, there are some things to consider.
272.95 -> First of all, price.
274.71 -> The Bedding Bundles start at about $400, and
the sheet sets themselves start at about $250.
281.48 -> This is definitely luxury linen that comes
with a luxury price tag.
285.4 -> Keep in mind that linen like this is high
quality.
288.24 -> It's 100 percent pure, and it's designed to
only get softer as the years go by.
293.15 -> High quality linen like this can definitely
take you through years of use.
297.76 -> It is also worth noting that no trial period
is offered with this bedding, which basically
303 -> eliminates the chance to try before you buy.
306.48 -> You do get a 30-day return policy, but keep
in mind that in order to return it, it must
312.07 -> be unused, unwashed, and in its original packaging.
316.07 -> [background music]
318.95 -> That's it for me, but for every last detail
on this betting bundle, be sure to check out
322.4 -> my full written review, which is linked below.
324.71 -> Remember, if you want to see how this linen
compares with other linen bedding I've tested,
329.03 -> just head on over to sleepopolis.com, type
in "best linen sheets," it'll be the first
