Best Linen Comforter

Even though linen is more expensive than most bedding, people who use linen sheets will extol their virtues to anyone by saying they are absolutely worth the cost. Not only because of the luxury but linen lasts so much longer than any other kind of material. Linen offers several benefits not available from other materials.

Linen fabric is thermogenic, which means that, while they allow for easy airflow to keep cool, they also have heat retaining properties, making them ideal for year-round use or for partners with clashing inner temperatures where one sleeps hot and the other sleeps cold. Linen regulates your body temperature, so that fluctuations that would normally wake you up don’t, so linen can really aid in a solid, restful sleep.

According to the National Sleep Foundation, your body temperature is “a key part of what regulates the circadian rhythm that determines when your body is ready to go to sleep and when it’s ready to wake up.” Linen on your bed will keep you comfortable and fast asleep all night long.

When you first purchase your linen duvet cover you will need to wash it before use even if the cleaning instruction label does not require a prewash. This will help to remove the chemical treatments placed on the fabric during the manufacturing process. After the first wash you will notice a fair amount of lint in the washing machine, but this is to be expected based on the way the sheets are made. The wash is necessary to get that soft quality, and the more you wash them, the softer your linen bedding will become. Wash linen in cold or warm water, 60 to 70 degrees, use a fabric softener, a gentle detergent and put the machine on a gentle cycle. Best to dry naturally in a shady spot. No ironing is required and we recommend not using a dryer however if it is a must, use a tumble dryer on a low setting.
