Ok, so I've just moved into a new apartment and I'm living as a single woman. I needed all new everything....that included bedding. I bought the duvet and sateen cover and sateen sheet set from Linen Republic. It is literally a bed made for the gods! But I needed to get another set of sheets and my friend recommended another high end company....so I bought a set from this other company. They are not the same. The crispness and the sheen and the feel just aren't the same. There is just something missing. The quality might be similar and the price was the same but the "other" sheets are a little lack-luster. I'm so glad I ordered from both companies to REALLY get a good comparison. Now I know....Linen Republic all the way. Since I love the bedding so much, I was considering purchasing the mattress topper....I mean, I feel at this point I can't go wrong;)
