Cultiver launched in Australia with a simple mission: Make everyday items more luxurious, with effortless style. Although primarily known for their washed linen sheets, Cultiver also sells additional bedding items, tabletop decor, decorative pillows, and sleepwear.
All of Cultiver’s sheets are made of linen woven from 100 percent European flax. Although all linen naturally softens with washing and use, Cultiver sheets are stone washed with special enzymes to ensure they are soft and comfortable from the moment you put them on your bed.
Available in 17 different colors and prints, ranging from basic neutrals to deeper the sheets can be mixed-and-matched to create the exact look you want to coordinate with your decor.
In addition to sheets, Cultiver offers duvet covers and sets, as well as quilts, bed covers, and valances (bedskirts) made from the same high-quality linen. They are on the more expensive side, but highly sought after for their excellent quality and style. Read on for our full review of these coveted sheets.

Temperature Regulation

Your sheets should not cause you to wake up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night. Sheets need to wick moisture away from the body and allow for adequate airflow.
Our testing reveals exceptional temperature regulation as compared to other types of sheets. Linen fabric naturally stays cooler than other fabrics, meaning that you’ll sleep cool and comfortable on the Cultiver sheets.

Comfort & Feel

A good pair of sheets will feel soft to the touch and won’t snag on your body while you sleep.
Cultiver sheets are smooth and soft, with the softness improving over time with washing and use. Linen naturally feels coarser to the touch, especially when the sheets are new, but the sheets do not feel coarse against the body while sleeping. Several customers report switching from cotton sheets, and that their Cultiver sheets feel as soft and comfortable.

This rating refers to how easy the sheets are to clean and how resistant they are to wrinkling and pilling.
Cultiver sheets have very easy care instructions. The only issue we found is the fabric’s tendency to wrinkle, which is to be expected with any linen sheet.

Fit
x
You don’t want your fitted sheet to fit too loosely or be over-stretched on your mattress, as this can lead to issues with the sheet coming loose from the mattress or bunching up.
Although Cultiver’s sheets have deep enough pockets to fit on even the thickest mattresses, the fitted sheet may need to be tucked further under thinner mattresses to prevent bunching and sliding. Also, the flat sheets are larger than usual, especially given the one size sheet for both Queen and King/California King, which isn’t appealing to some customers.

Compare Sheets
How Do Cultiver Sheets Compare to Other Bedding Collections?
As any consumer does with a product they’re considering, our bedding assessments naturally involve comparing them with other similar products. Be it composition, feel, or price, we think it’s important to see how Cultiver sheets stacks up to other sheets.
Check out our selections below to learn about comparable sheet sets.
Cultiver fitted sheets are sold as individual sheets in twin, queen, king, and California king sizes. The top sheet, when purchased individually, comes in a combined queen/king size designed to fit both. Sheet sets are available in twin, queen, king, and California king sizes; all sets come with two pillowcases, except for twin sets, which include one pillowcase.
For sheet sets, the following colors/patterns are available in the full range of sizes: smoke gray, white, blush, dusk, pinstripe. The following colors and patterns are only available in queen- and king-sized sheet sets: indigo stripe, pencil stripe, plum, natural, sage, olive, bluestone, charcoal gray, ash, navy, black, and indigo.
The standard pillowcases are larger than average. Individual sheets are available 15 different colors and three patterns, so you can create a mix-and-match set to fit your personal style and decor. Although it is slightly more expensive to build your own set of Cultiver sheets as opposed to purchasing the items individually, if you prefer to sleep without a top sheet, building your own set is a better value.

Cleaning and Care
Cultiver sheets can be machine washed and dried. The company recommends washing in warm water with a natural detergent, or a detergent that does not contain whiteners or brighteners. Do not use bleach or dry clean your Cultiver sheets. They can be dried on low in the dryer or line dried, but be cautious about leaving your sheets in direct sunlight for too long, as that can lead to uneven fading.
Although the sheets do not require ironing; if you wish, you can use a steamer or warm iron to remove wrinkles. Cultiver’s website notes that the natural linen sheets are pre-washed for softness, and will get softer with regular washings.
