From sumptuously soft Mongolian cashmere sweaters to comforting quilts ideal for a Netflix binge, Quince ensures you can indulge in comfort without a hefty price tag.
The Quince Philosophy: Direct Sourcing and Ethical Practices
The secret behind Quince's ability to offer high-quality materials like cashmere and silk at budget-friendly prices lies in its direct-to-consumer business model, bypassing traditional intermediaries.

Beyond Apparel: Quince's Home Collection Shines
While Quince is often recognized for its stylish clothing, such as alpaca cardigans and washable silk shirts, its home collection is equally impressive and perhaps even underrated. Our editorial team consistently incorporates Quince's sleep essentials into their routines, particularly appreciating the quilted blankets and cozy duvet inserts during colder months. The brand's diverse home offerings also include luxurious bath towels, an array of bed sheets and duvet covers, comfortable loungewear, and thoughtful gift sets.

Exquisite Sheet Sets for Every Preference
Quince's sheet collection stands out as a top recommendation from our editors, encompassing everything from comforting, lived-in linen to smooth, cooling bamboo. All bedding prices mentioned refer to queen sizes, with other sizes readily available.
The Epitome of Luxury: Giza Cotton Sateen Sheets
Among Quince's offerings, the Giza Sateen Cotton Sheet Set is a testament to opulence. Crafted from 100% Giza sateen cotton with a 700 thread count, Senior Entertainment Editor Rachel Wallace describes these sheets as feeling "cool and smooth, yet buttery soft, completely devoid of any plasticky sensation often found in some sateen sheets." Their exceptional quality at an accessible price point earned them a spot on our list of best sheets. Wallace particularly values the diverse color palette, including sage green and grayish blue, for effortless bedroom styling, opting for ivory for a neutral yet sophisticated appeal.
The Luxurious Touch of Bamboo Sheets
These silky bamboo sheets combine elegant design with a luxurious feel. Senior Shopping Editor Nashia Baker emphasizes, "Breathable bedding is essential for my sleep, and I'm consistently impressed by how well I sleep with the Quince bamboo sheet set." She notes their smooth, cool touch, which remains comfortable even in winter. Baker appreciates the availability of darker shades like charcoal and nightfall, but prefers terracotta and bronzy clay to achieve a desert-inspired bedroom aesthetic. A notable advantage is their viscose linen's graceful drape, mimicking silk and satin without the demanding upkeep, as Baker machine washes and dries them with ease.
Enduring Comfort: Bamboo Sheets Stand the Test of Time
After over a year of use, Baker's bamboo sheet set has maintained its integrity, showing no signs of fraying or color fading, despite minor residue from hair products on pillowcases. Guests consistently praise the sheets for their suppleness and ability to prevent overheating, with some even mistaking them for silk due to their lustrous quality and easy maintenance.
The Perfect Blend: Classic Organic Percale Sheets
For those seeking sheets that perfectly balance crispness with softness, Quince’s percale set is an ideal choice. AD PRO Senior Editor Mel Studach comments, “Having tried numerous percale styles, I find these to be notably softer than most, which I absolutely adore.” She also values their ability to maintain a pristine, wrinkle-free appearance each morning. Crafted from 100% cotton, these sheets are both exceptionally breathable and smooth, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. This collection also offers attractive Oxford stripe and gingham patterns.
The Allure of European Linen Sheets
Both Nashia Baker and Erika Owen are avid fans of Quince's linen sheets, available in a rich selection of prints and earthy tones to complement any bedroom aesthetic. Owen describes her sage set as "delightfully subtle and versatile, blending seamlessly with any decor." These sheets also offer a charming, slightly wrinkled appearance, contributing to a naturally lived-in bedroom ambiance.
Linen Bedding: A Mediterranean-Minimalist Dream
Nashia Baker praises Quince's linen bedding as a cornerstone of her Mediterranean-meets-minimalist bedroom style. She adores its airy texture and the striking Bordeaux color that perfectly harmonizes with her decor. "It has been a consistent staple on my mattress," she notes, highlighting its versatility and aesthetic appeal.
Seasonal Comfort: Quince's Bed Covers Collection
Quince provides an array of bed covers suitable for any season, ensuring ultimate comfort and enhancing your bedroom's design. Explore our favorite duvet covers, quilts, and coverlets designed to meet your every need.
Refined Comfort: European Linen Duvet Cover
Many of our editors own and highly recommend Quince’s linen duvet cover for its luxurious feel, without the usual stiffness. Contributor Elise Portale highlights its "soft and comfy" European flax linen, perfect for snuggling. She also notes its remarkable durability, maintaining its pristine condition after numerous washes and seasons of use.
Linen Duvet Cover: A Journey to Softness and Durability
Julia Harrison initially found her duvet cover slightly coarse, but observed a significant increase in softness after several months of washing and use. "It resists wrinkles quite well, keeps me warm without overheating, and showed its first small hole only after about two years of wear," she shares. She appreciates its welcoming ivory shade—neither too yellow nor too blue, and far from stark white—considering it a practical yet luxurious linen option.
Cozy Elegance: Organic Airy Gauze Box Quilt Set
This editor-favorite blanket is the perfect addition for a cozy yet sophisticated bed during colder months. Shopping Editor Audrey Lee describes the cotton outer layer as "incredibly soft to the touch," with the warm terracotta hue making her bed exceptionally inviting. For those who prefer a more understated palette, the delicate mauve fig and soothing fog grey options are highly recommended.
A Quilt That Stands the Test of Time: Enduring Warmth and Style
After nearly two years of use, Lee confirms that the quilt remains a reliable bedside companion when temperatures drop. "The burnt orange color has not faded, and I haven't observed any pilling, which can often occur with this type of cotton material," she adds, attesting to its lasting quality.
The Hybrid of Comfort: European Linen Quilt
For those seeking the aesthetic appeal of a quilt combined with the cozy feel of a comforter, this all-season option is ideal. Contributor Megan Wahn expressed her reluctance to "leave the embrace of this quilt," attributing it to the lofty polyester fill that makes it incredibly comfortable. Available in a range of colors from dusty blue to indigo, soft blush to Bordeaux, and various earthy tones, it offers versatility to suit any decor.
Essential Bed Accessories: Enhancing Your Sleep Sanctuary
Our AD-approved bed accessories collection spans from versatile throw blankets to plush duvet inserts. Quince proudly offers these, alongside a selection of pillows, all designed for daily comfort and utility.
The Ultimate Sleep Companion: Luxe Goose Down Pillow
Goose down is the preferred filling for pillows in high-end boutique hotels, and Digital Features Editor Katherine McLaughlin asserts that Quince’s goose down pillow is unmatched in its soft fill. Available in three densities—soft/medium to firm/extra firm—all featuring 700-fill power premium down, it caters to individual preferences. As a side sleeper, McLaughlin particularly values the pillow’s flexibility, often folding it for added density.
Innovative Comfort: Premium Down Alternative Pillow
Shopping Director Lori Keong favors down alternative pillows for their firmer, yet squishier feel compared to traditional down, providing ample buoyancy for head and shoulder support during sleep. Quince’s premium down alternative pillow, offered in three firmness levels, struck the perfect balance in its “firm” setting. Keong notes, “The polyester fill is firm enough to support my head without excessive sinking, yet soft enough for comfort, eliminating the sensation of lying on the floor.” The shredded fill and cotton sateen shell enhance breathability, preventing overheating during the night.
The All-Season Wonder: Premium Down Comforter
Whether utilized as a stand-alone comforter or a duvet insert, this all-season down material offers exceptional quality at an "unbelievable price," according to contributor Zoë Sessums. She has relied on her Quince duvet insert for over four years, praising its consistent warmth and comfort. For stain removal, Sessums recommends diligent spot cleaning, and suggests airing it out on a clothesline to naturally fluff the white down filling.
Bath Essentials: Indulge in Spa-Like Luxury
Don't let your bedroom have all the pampering. Explore our favorite Quince bath essentials, designed to transform your bathroom into a sanctuary.
Innovative Design: Turkish Waffle Terry Bath Sheet (Set of 2)
These Quince cotton bath sheets are remarkably versatile. Contributor Jasmine Desiree highlights their dual nature: "One side is classic terry, the other is airy waffle, allowing you to choose based on your mood." Despite their affordable price point of just $80 for a set, she notes their luxurious feel, reminiscent of "something you’d find in a boutique hotel." Desiree praises their high absorbency, with the terry side ideal for post-shower drying and the waffle side perfect for hair. "They dry quickly and never feel soggy," she adds, making them perfect for compact bathrooms or gym enthusiasts.
The Foundation of Comfort: Turkish Cotton Bath Mat Bundle
This classic bath mat bundle, crafted from Turkish cotton, is highly praised by Baker for its rapid water absorption after showering. Having recently moved to a larger bathroom, she found these mats indispensable for both her bathtub and sink areas. Even for smaller bathrooms, she deems the set worthwhile, appreciating the convenience of having a clean mat ready for rotation while the other is being laundered. Baker does note that these mats lack a typical rubber backing, which can lead to slight shifting when stepped on.
Opulent Absorbency: Turkish Ultra Plush Bath Towel (Set of 2)
“Exceptionally soft and absorbent, Quince’s classic bath towel bundle has swiftly become an integral part of my self-care regimen,” comments Baker. She marvels at their surprising lightness, despite the luxurious plushness of the material. Unlike average bath towels that can become heavy and saturated, these effectively soak up water without feeling weighed down. After several months, their quality remains impeccable, having grown even softer with each wash. Baker advises using a mild or cashmere-specific detergent to prevent discoloration. Overall, she highly recommends this set for anyone seeking hotel-quality towels without the exorbitant price. While the standard size (30”x 56”) is currently in limited stock, the sheet bundle (40” x 70”) is available in the same plush material for those desiring a slightly larger option.
Loungewear: Effortless Style and Unmatched Comfort
While Quince is renowned for its Italian leather jackets, blazers, and cashmere sweaters, its loungewear collection deserves equal attention. Offering pajama tops and bottoms crafted from the same high-quality materials—such as Grade-A cashmere tees and Oeko-Tex-certified linen pants—Quince ensures that your wardrobe remains free of fast fashion items. Moreover, many of its loungewear pieces are versatile enough to transition seamlessly into stylish streetwear.
Refined Relaxing: Fisherman Quarter Zip Sweater
Audrey Lee considers this cashmere quarter-zip sweater a staple in her wardrobe, noting its appearance suggests a much higher price tag. She highlights it as an excellent gift option, especially for those who appreciate luxurious comfort. "The jewel-tone enthusiast in me is drawn to burgundy and storm blue," Lee states in her Quince review, "but truffle brown and ivory are superb choices for minimalists and timeless additions to any collection."
Versatile Comfort: The Fisherman Quarter Zip Sweater
The faux mock neck design of the zipped-up long-sleeve sweater adds a touch of elegance, making it ideal for both relaxing at home and entertaining guests, allowing Lee to feel effortlessly presentable. She advises careful maintenance: hand washing and flat drying are recommended to preserve the sweater's quality. Lee, a long-time owner of Quince cashmere, attests to its durability even after numerous washes, provided proper care is taken.
An Everyday Indulgence: Mulberry Silk Beauty Sleep Mask
Another exceptional gift idea, Quince’s silk eye mask offers luxurious comfort at an incredibly accessible price, making it one of the best value products available. This makes it a perfect choice for sophisticated party favors or as a thoughtful addition to a personalized gift basket. Nashia Baker considers this accessory a key part of her regular sleep routine. She describes it as "a miniature down pillow just for my eyes," noting its gentle rest and effective light-filtering capabilities in her sunny bedroom, ideal for uninterrupted sleep.
The Ultimate Comfort: Mongolian Cashmere Robe
“Donning this knitted silhouette transforms even the most mundane days into a heavenly experience,” remarks Lee. She thoroughly tested Quince’s cashmere robe across various scenarios—from work-from-home days and Netflix marathons to household chores—and consistently found the high-end material to be incredibly cozy, even after extended wear. Lee notes that, like most cashmere, some pilling is inevitable, but it can be easily managed with a sweater shaver or brush. For washing, she recommends a mild or cashmere-specific detergent and a delicate cycle, based on her positive experience with many other durable Quince cashmere items.
