Know before you buy
These sheets are pre-washed to ensure they feel soft and lived-in from the very first night. Unlike some linen that requires a long break-in period, this set is designed for immediate comfort.
Yes, the 100% European flax is naturally breathable and moisture-wicking, which helps regulate your body temperature throughout the night. They are specifically noted for their cooling properties, making them an excellent choice for warmer climates or hot sleepers.
To maintain the integrity of the flax fibers, machine wash them in cold water and tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach, as these can weaken the natural fibers over time.
The linen is crafted for long-term durability, and the fabric is designed to get softer and more comfortable with every wash. While the texture will evolve, the quality of the construction ensures the set remains a staple in your bedroom for years.
These sheets are designed for all-season use. While they are highly effective at keeping you cool in the summer, the natural insulating properties of flax also provide warmth and comfort during the winter months.
