Here, we're breaking down all things related to this iconic material and what makes this natural fabric such a timeless choice. 

What is linen? 

One of the most luxurious bedding textiles, this material is often associated with sheeting, but can be used in top-of-bed pieces as well. 

Linen is a strong, lustrous yarn made from flax fiber. Being both durable and high quality, products using this super-powered textile are a great investment. At first touch, this fabric typically feels crisp– but it actually becomes softer with washes and time!

  • Extra moisture-wicking properties 

  • Helps keep you cool during the night 

  • Great for warm sleepers—or anyone who enjoys breathable bedding
