100% linen bedding refers to bedding made entirely from linen fibres, without the addition of other materials. Linen is made from flax fibres, derived from the flax plant, and is known for its durability, breathability and natural properties such as moisture absorption and heat regulation.

Bedding made of 100% linen offers several advantages, including:

1. Breathability:
Linen has natural ventilation properties, allowing air to circulate easily and preventing overheating during sleep.

2. Moisture absorption:
Linen absorbs moisture efficiently, keeping it comfortable and helping to regulate perspiration during sleep.

3. Durability:
Linen is known for its durability and can last a long time with proper care. It often becomes softer and more comfortable over time.

4. Allergy-friendly:
Because of linen's natural properties, it is often a good choice for people with allergies or sensitive skin, as it is less likely to retain dust and allergens than some other materials.

A lightweight and lint-free fabric, linen absorbs more moisture than cotton without becoming damp itself, which is advantageous for people who sweat a lot. In addition, linen is stronger than cotton and offers ventilation, making it cool to the touch in summer and warm in winter.

Linen bedding offers an excellent sleeping experience due to its natural properties. It absorbs moisture efficiently, which can help reduce perspiration during sleep and provide a drier and more comfortable feeling. Moreover, linen is naturally breathable, allowing air to circulate easily and preventing overheating. The fabric feels cool to the skin in warmer environments while retaining warmth in colder conditions, making it suitable for all seasons. In addition, linen is known for its durability and gets softer and softer as it is washed, making bedding even more comfortable over time. So overall, linen bedding provides a restful and comfortable sleeping experience.

First of all, it is good to know that the DOUXE fitted sheet can be used for several types of mattresses and mattress combinations. Our fitted sheets have a corner height of 45 cm and can be used on all mattresses from 5 to 45 cm. Thanks to the strong elastic border, the fitted sheet is pulled tight under the mattress. It fits perfectly around thick mattresses or combinations of mattress and topper, but also around a topper alone. Our advice, however, is always to add a protective layer to protect the mattress from dirt. This can be done with a flannel fitted sheet or topper. You then put the fitted sheet over this.

Washed linen and unwashed linen differ mainly in their appearance, texture and properties:

1. Appearance:
- Washed linen usually has a softer look and a slightly creased, relaxed appearance. It often has a slightly matt appearance.
- Unwashed linen can have a stiffer, rougher appearance and can be more wrinkled due to the natural nature and texture of the fibres.

2. Texture:
- Washed linen can feel softer because of previous washings. It may be more comfortable on the skin.
- Unwashed linen may feel stiffer initially because of the natural oils and substances still present in the fibres.

3. Properties:
- Washed linen may be less prone to shrinking after further washes because it has already undergone initial shrinkage during the first wash cycle.
- Unwashed linen may retain more of its natural properties, such as better moisture absorption and heat regulation, due to the retention of natural oils and fibre characteristics.

In general, the choice between washed and unwashed linen depends on personal preferences for appearance, texture and the desired properties of the linen product.
