Primary Goods Sheets Review Breakdown

Buying bedding can be confusing, and customers must wade through a world of different materials, designs, sizes, and colors — all with widely varying prices. Primary Goods simplifies things by selling only 100% long-staple French linen bedding, and we’ll make the process even easier by walking you through all the relevant details below.

Materials and Construction

Generally sheets are judged on the look, feel, and performance of their materials, with construction only becoming important in terms of durability. Primary Goods, however, markets their sheet sets on two points: the sustainability and comfort of their long-staple French linen, and the innovative construction of their snapping system.

Primary Goods sheets are all 100% long-staple linen, a luxurious fabric made from sustainable and eco-friendly flax sourced from Volckerinckhove, France. Available in three shades (charcoal, white, and rose) thanks to natural dyes, the sheets have a subtle sheen and linen’s characteristic textured appearance. While linen does have a crisper feel than cotton and can be prone to wrinkling, it is highly durable and grows softer with repeated washing. Linen also provides excellent temperature neutrality, as its breathability prevents clamminess or excess heat retention while still keeping sleepers warm in the winter.

The sheets are manufactured in Qingdao, China using manufacturers that have undergone vetting for ethical practices, including worker conditions. While not organic, Primary Goods bedding is OEKO-TEX certified as being free from harmful substances, and the manufacturing process is GOTS-certified as being ethical and environmentally responsible.

The snapping system involves the duvet cover and top sheet, both of which have ten snaps on each side. Once snapped together, the two pieces of bedding move together during the night to prevent the top sheet from bunching or being lost at the foot of the bed.

Our testers found that the system felt like an ordinary top sheet and duvet, as sleepers climb beneath the top sheet. They also reported that making the bed the next morning was impressively easy, as they only had to shake the paired bedding out over their bed. However, the system does require any layering blankets to be spread out over the duvet, rather than between the top sheet and the duvet.

Prices and Sizing

Primary Goods prices their complete sheet set on the high end of average for a linen sheet set, which normally range from $200 to $400. However, as their set has an innovative design, is made from 100% long-staple linen — not a linen-cotton blend, which is common among budget sheet sets — and includes a duvet cover, this pricing is in line with expectations. They also offer the primary set at a lower price, making it easier for customers to purchase the two snapping pieces without extras.

• Complete Set: Duvet cover (with corner ties) and top sheet with ten metal snaps on each side, fitted sheet, and two pillow shams with decorative back closures
• Primary Set: Duvet cover (with corner ties) and top sheet with ten metal snaps on each side

Please note, neither set is available in twin or twin XL sizes.

Separates

In addition to their sheet sets, each of the Primary Goods bedding items can be purchased separately. They also provide standard pillow cases, available only in white, that are only available as separates.

While buying a standard sheet set offers the best value, Primary Goods does offer a 25% discount to customers creating a full sheet set out of different separates. Customers who choose this option are able to mix-and-match sizes and colors as they wish, making it a great choice for those who want to layer colors or cuddle up beneath an oversized duvet.

Color, Design, and Pattern Options

Primary Goods uses only natural dyes, and their sheets are available only in three shades: white, charcoal, and rose. (Pillowcases are available only in white.) Although these modern neutral shades are appealing to a wide variety of customers, those interested in patterned or more brightly colored bedding may prefer to purchase from a different company.

In our testing, the colors proved to be well-dyed and able to stand up to regular washing without fading.

Care and Cleaning

Linen is highly durable and grows softer with repeated washing, making it easy to care for as long as you treat it gently. Primary Goods suggests washing with cold or lukewarm water on the gentle cycle, as well as using a mild detergent and no fabric softener. The sheets can be washed with similarly colored lightweight clothes or undergarments, but owners should be careful not to overcrowd their machine as this may cause excessive creasing.

Most stains can be pre-treated by gently scrubbing baking soda and mild detergent into the fabric with your fingers before washing normally.

While the sheets can be fully air-dried or machine-dried, Primary Goods suggests machine-drying for ten minutes or low or medium heat before hanging them to fully dry as this prevents wrinkling. Instead of dryer sheets, Primary Goods also recommends using their wool dryer balls as a natural alternative.
