Linen bed linen - the sustainable natural fabric for your bedroom
Your bedroom is a place to relax and unwind. With linen bed linen, you not only give it a relaxed and natural look, you also acquire a durable and sustainable natural fabric with excellent properties that guarantees perfectly tempered sleep.
What is so special about linen bedding?
Linen has been making a comeback in the bedroom in recent years - and with good reason: linen bed linen has many advantages that synthetic and other natural fabrics cannot match. Linen regulates temperature, is particularly breathable and is excellent at wicking away moisture. Linen is also very robust and incredibly durable - often for a decade or more with good care.
What are the properties and features of linen bedding?
It is not only its heat-regulating and breathable properties that make linen bed linen a popular fabric. Because of its natural and relaxed look, linen is also often used for decorative purposes, as this special feature is part of its beauty. Linen bed linen fits perfectly into concepts such as slow living or wabi-sabi, where imperfection and naturalness are celebrated and appreciated.
Linen bed linen - the sustainable alternative
The good is often very close. If you are opting for a more conscious lifestyle, linen is the perfect bedding choice, as it is the only fabric that can be produced 100% in Europe, from cultivation to product. However, linen not only scores points for its regionality, its cultivation is also particularly resource-friendly: no fertilizers, pesticides or additional irrigation are required to grow the flax plant. In fact, only around a quarter as much water is used to produce linen as for conventional cotton. This makes linen bed linen an incredibly sustainable product.
Is linen bedding only for the summer?
Cooling in summer and warming in winter - that's how linen bed linen is often described, but why is that? Linen bed linen allows your skin to breathe and can absorb up to 20% of its own weight in moisture before the material feels wet. If you sweat in summer, the fabric transports the moisture away from your body and allows it to evaporate. This keeps your skin pleasantly dry in summer and the fabric has a cooling effect. In winter, on the other hand, linen bed linen retains your body heat and ensures pleasantly warm, cozy nights. Linen is therefore the ideal choice for all seasons. It has a temperature-regulating effect in both summer and winter and feels pleasantly soft on the skin.
Linen bed linen: the ideal natural fabric for allergy sufferers
Linen bed linen quickly releases absorbed moisture so that no bacteria or other allergens can collect in the fibers. Linen bed linen is therefore ideal for allergy sufferers, children and people with sensitive skin. Linen is also antistatic. This means that the natural fabric does not become electrically charged, as is often the case with synthetic fabrics.

The bedroom is a place to relax and unwind. That is why we have deliberately opted for natural and restrained color schemes when designing our linen bed linen: beige-striped, grey-striped and classic white go with any style of furnishing and convey a sense of calm and grounding.
What is the best way to care for and wash linen bedding?
Proper care is crucial to preserve the longevity of linen. Our linen bedding can be washed in the washing machine at up to 60°C without any problems and will not shrink. However, we recommend washing your bed linen at 40 degrees, as textiles are hygienically clean even at 40 degrees with the right detergent. The fibers are also protected and you use less energy. Please be sure to use a mild detergent without bleach so that you can enjoy your linen bedding for many years to come. For modern washing machines that wash with extremely little water, the following tip is important: Linen bed linen likes a lot of moisture and space in the machine. It is best to wash your bed linen on the delicate cycle and spin it at a maximum of 600 revolutions per minute. Only load the washing machine drum half full. Your laundry will crease much less this way. Linen bed linen should generally not be tumble dried. It is best to dry linen in the open air.
