Pure Linen Sheets

If staying cool while you sleep is important, then pure linen sheets is the best choice over cotton or linen blends. The remarkable absorbency of linen is legendary, even more so than cotton. Not only does linen absorb moisture, but it always releases it, which is the main factor in staying cool.

The thread counts can be extremely high... we ran into some that were as high as 1600 TC. Talk about luxurious!

Pure linen ages like fine wine, as the more they are washed, the softer they get over time.

Linen as the main fabric used in bed sheets has a rich history. Since the old days, linen bed sheets were a family heirloom which was passed down through generations. This is another testimonial, so to speak, for the long lasting durability of linens. These sheets were even frequently monogrammed with the family initials and lasted for decades!

Linen fabric bed sheets are preferred by owners of fine hotels, as well as bed and breakfasts. They truly are an investment that pays itself back. Replacing them will be a rare and infrequent need.

Probably the biggest drawback of linen sheets are the fact that they wrinkle easily, especially when they are brand new. But if you can get past this little drawback (they do wrinkle less and less as they get broken in) then the durability benefits are worth it. Not many things made in this "throw-away-society" can match the durability of linen!
