Sleeping in linen is an experience. It is one of those pampering experiences that you have to allow for both your skin and that of your loved ones. People tend to avoid linen for two reasons: the price and the fact that it always looks wrinkled. As for the price, check out our article Why is linen expensive?. As for wrinkles, that’s right, linen is wrinkled and it looks best when it’s being used. As you use it, it looks even better on the bed, giving you a comfortable and natural feel. Here are 12 reasons to choose linen for yourself and your loved ones:

  1. Absorbs moisture – linen can absorb up to 20% of moisture, which gives you a comfortable and dry feeling during the night. Thanks to its molecular structure, it breathes and allows your skin to breathe too, for a peaceful sleep.
  2. Regulates temperature – Linen allows a constant temperature, both on hot summer nights and cold winter nights.
  3. Becomes softer – Unlike other fabrics, which need conditioner and become stiffer over time, linen becomes softer after washing.
  4. It is hypoallergenic – due to its wonderful properties, linen is a great choice for those with sensitive skin and prone to allergies (especially babies), creating an exceptional microclimate for the skin.
  5. A sustainable choice – Flaxseeds have ZERO waste (all parts of the plant are used), require ZERO water in irrigation and are completely biodegradable.
  6. It’s strong – The flax plant has long fibres and high durability, which makes it extremely resistant and an investment that can be passed down from generation to generation.
  7. Linen naturally repels bacteria, dust and insects.
  8. It is antistatic.
  9. It has a royal history – The Romans used it for the toga, and the pharaohs for tunics. The linen industry began in Egypt, where King Tutankhamun loved linen so much that linen garments and curtains were placed in his tomb, which were then found in perfect condition by archaeologists.
  10. It’s very comfortable – and it ensures a good night’s sleep, closer to nature, just as you need.
  11. It is versatile – it can be combined in several layers, colours and can even be combined with other fabrics, which allows for a playful design.
  12. Gives you a free massage – Due to the texture, when it comes in contact with the skin it gives the micromassage that your body badly needs while sleeping.
