Questions and answers
- Which is better for a deep mattress?
- The Linoto 21-inch fitted sheet covers the tallest mattresses. The Orkney deep fitted sheet fits mattresses up to 17 inches, and its standard sheet fits 14 inches.
- Which feels heavier?
- The Orkney at 7.7 oz/sq. yd is the heavier fabric. The Linoto at 230 GSM is substantial but lighter, and a queen set still weighs nearly 10 lbs.
- Is the Linoto worth about $220 more?
- Yes if you need the 21-inch depth or want a no-shrink, pre-washed set. Otherwise the Orkney gives you heavier linen for less.
- Which softens faster?
- Linoto arrives pre-washed and softens further by the third wash. Orkney softens with each use and wash but starts crisper.
- Do both sets include two pillowcases?
- Linoto includes two in every set. Orkney includes two except in twin, which gets one standard pillowcase.
- Which has more buyer feedback?
- Linoto, with 4.9 of 5 from 1,108 ratings. Orkney has 5 of 5 from 20 ratings.
