The stripe pattern is subtle enough that it doesn’t scream at you, but it gives the bedding a nice, tailored look. It’s also cut generously—it drapes past the mattress edge and barely skims the floor, which feels luxurious. I’ve slept on it for a week and it’s only getting softer.
Washed it three times already and the oatmeal-and-white stripe pattern hasn't faded one bit—the flax softens up beautifully while still feeling sturdy. My cat kneads it constantly and there's not a single snag yet, which says a lot about the weave.
The length is perfect—it actually drapes over the sides of my mattress instead of barely tucking under. After three washes it’s gotten even softer, and the oatmeal stripe looks more like a subtle woven detail than a loud pattern.
