Linen is especially wonderful for hot summer days because it is among the most breathable of fabrics.
Flax, the totally natural raw material from which linen is made, is a hollow fibre with breathable properties. It is perfect for helping regulate body temperature.

Linen thread retains only a small amount of heat. Since it encloses only a little air between its fibres, it feels cool to the touch.
Plus, linen absorbs moisture well and can store some of it inside its fibres. It can absorb up to 20% of its own weight in water without the fabric feeling moist. Most of the moisture is then released relatively quickly.
This makes linen perfect for anyone who sweats in their sleep during summer. The fabric absorbs the sweat, leaving your sheets feeling cool and dry.

Linen bedding also feels soft and cuddly and it actually gets softer with every wash.

Last but not least, linen bed sheets are wonderful for people with allergies. Learn more about linen’s hypoallergenic properties in our blog post.

Mix and match your linen fitted sheets with linen flat sheets and duvet covers, and treat yourself to a bit of extra comfort in summer with a bolster.

One question that comes up every summer is whether you really even need sheets and covers when it’s hot.
In general, you should not sleep completely naked and without any covering. Even in summer, there is still the chance to catch a chill.
If a summer duvet is still too warm for you, why not choose one of our thin summer linen bedspreads? These feature all the great advantages of linen and are comfortably thin and light.

Sleep tight!
