Fabric Focus: Linen

Lovely linen

We love styling our homes and beds with fabrics made from natural and sustainable fibres. The casual beauty of pure linen bedding will create relaxed and comfortable spaces to enjoy sleeping in. Linen looks good, feels even better and is a planet friendly choice for your home. Read on to learn more about one of our favourite fabrics, why it’s sustainable and discover beautiful linen pieces for your bed.

Why choose linen?

Linen is a sustainable fabric choice for bedding, homeware and clothing. This is because linen is a pure natural fabric that requires little water for its production and is completely biodegradable. Linen fabric is made from the cellulose fibres that grow inside the leaves of the flax plant. The whole plant is used in the linen making process, creating minimal wastage during production. Flax plants need little watering compared to growing cotton. Due to the strength and durability of flax linen fibres, linen fabric creates bedding and clothing which can last a lifetime. 

Our linen collections are crafted from pure European flax linen, a natural and sustainable fibre, cultivated without artificial irrigation and is GMO free.

Sleep blissfully in linen

For the best nights’ sleep, bedding should be breathable and comfortable, so you can regulate your body temperature for a restorative slumber. Linen fabric is woven using a responsive fibre in a looser weave which allows air to circulate more freely with excellent moisture absorbing properties. This results in bedding that will keep you cool in summer and warm in winter, making linen perfect for sleeping in every season. And the more you launder your linen, the softer it becomes. 

For timeless and enduring style, choose linen bedding for a relaxed look and feel that will never date. Linen sheets are incredibly versatile and work beautifully with duvet covers and quilts made from a variety of different fabrics. Discover our Loft Linen collection of sheets, duvet covers and pillowcases crafted from European Flax certified linen fibre and pre-washed for extra softness.
