Aura and belle or linen and lounge

I’d love to get a new set of linen for YT, looking for something reasonably priced and good quality. I see aura and belle and linen and lounge both have gorgeous sets for great prices. Does anyone have experience with either of them in terms of quality and comfort?

I’m obsessed with Aura & Belle

How are you biased?
Is their regular line comfortable? Washes well?

We bought linen and lounge. We were happy with it and good quality but can’t compare to elegant linen. Quality is top notch. Also washes much better imo (elegant linen) From what I’ve heard aura and belle and linen and lounge are about the same quality. Prices are about the same when we bought a few years ago. We only went to linen and lounge vs aura and belle because they had an official store front to see their items. My husb didn’t want to go into a store in someone’s house.

I own two sets from Aura and Belle. I paid around 200 for two beds and am thrilled with the quality.
I was it with Woolite as per their instructions and they wash very well. I would definitely purchase from there again,

Yes super comfortable it’s 100% cotton. My husband won’t sleep with any other linen. We had to gift a set to both my parents and in-laws…. And yes, I have their sets in since they started. (Biased… I deleted it not to out myself. But I’m close family with the person who started the brand.)

I just bought from linen and lounge because I liked their styles better, but I haven’t used it yet.

yes

Each set comes with a card detailing (very simple) washing instructions.

Your post wasn't so clear. Linen and lounge is better than elegant linen? I'm in the market too

I have 3 sets from Aura and Belle and very happy with them. I think they're priced very reasonably.

@amother poppy, sorry I wasn’t clear. We got a really nice linen and lounge set a few years ago after we got new size beds and our old linen didn’t fit. However, being that we previously had elegant linen, we felt the difference and 2 years later (we saved up) bought an elegant linen set that we love. Like I said, linen and lounge is great (and I’m sure aura and belle too) but if you’re coming from elegant linen quality, you’ll feel the difference imo. Obviously elegant linen and linen and lounge/aura and belle have very different price points so if you’re looking for better priced, try the cheaper options, they’re very good too, and have some beautiful designs.

I just bought from Aura &B their 800 thread count linen designed by Chez Chaya. I'm super excited to use it this pesach. I heard from friends it's most comfy set out there!

That sounds great! I wish they had other 800 thread count in other patterns though!
What’s the difference between the Luxe collection and the regular? Besides for the chez Chaya set they all seem to be the same 300 thread count
