Linen clothing or home textiles are gaining more and more interest - people are dropping the established opinion that linen products are boring or only suitable for summer and integrating it into their homes and daily lives.
Special attention has been paid to linen bedding, which is not the cheapest on the market but it became especially popular in the last few years. Let's take a look at whether linen bedding is worth its price.
First of all, linen fibers come from the flax plant, and the best climate and soil for its growth are found in Europe. Compared to the cotton we all know, which grows well all over the world, we can guess why flax is so special.
Also, it is necessary to mention that flax cultivation does not use a lot of resources, and the end result can be satisfying for many years! Linen sheets are some of the most durable sheets (twice as durable as cotton) around and will last for years with proper care. It will also become softer with age and every wash. So, for those reasons linen is one of the most sustainable fabrics and by choosing it, you are contributing to the idea of sustainability and saving our world.
Many still think that linen products are only suitable for hot summer days, but linen has great properties that are fitting for any time of the year.
Linen is an incredibly breathable fabric. It will keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer, meaning you don't need to have seasonal options! Also, linen has anti-allergic properties, making it great even for children.
Will look great upon any interior. Nowadays you can find a wide variety of different colors or weights of linen that will suit your home's interior perfectly, whether it is minimalistic, or rustic, or even luxurious style. One of the most amazing things is that linen bedding looks charming without much effort - it does not need to be ironed and all its "imperfections" add extra coziness and create a Scandinavian-style effect.
In short, linen is like an investment, not only in the quality of sleep but also in the well-being of the environment. We can ensure that linen bedding will outlast the cotton one, and with each wash will only become firmer and softer. Forget about fast-wearing, synthetic bedding that irritates your skin, rather choose natural products that will create a special feeling of coziness in your home and find the key to your comfort philosophy. ♡
