I Have High Standards When It Comes to Linen Bedding, and Pottery Barn's Sheets Met Them — I Love How It Doesn't Need to be 'Broken In'

Pottery Barn navy Linen Bedding on bed with white cushions, tapestry above bed, paper lantern on one bedside, and a floating bedside on the other with a picture frame and vase of tulips.

When Pottery Barn landed in the UK late last year, I was, of course, excited about the massive sofas, the faux flowers (seriously, go check them out), the cushions, the lamps, and the vases (among other things) — but I quickly learned about another of the brand's best-sellers: its bedding.

Considering Livingetc has made it our mission to discover all the best places to buy bedding, I took one for the team and offered to try Pottery Barn's Belgian Linen Flax Duvet Cover (I know, what a martyr). Now, why the linen, you ask? Well, full disclosure: I used to work for a linen brand, so I have strong feelings about the natural fiber, and felt I was best suited to put Pottery Barn's to the test.
