What is washed linen and why choose it?
Washed linen is a high-end natural fabric, known for its soft texture and slightly wrinkled appearance. Made from superior quality linen fibers, it stands out for its exceptional comfort and high durability.
The benefits of washed linen
Known by all for its crinkled look, washed linen is obtained through numerous high-temperature washes and tumble drying. Since linen fiber is naturally very coarse, this process significantly softens the material to provide optimal comfort in your bed.
Among its many characteristics, this fabric is undeniably the most resistant to wear and time, being almost indestructible. While new linen sheets may initially feel coarse and rough to the touch, this appearance fades considerably with every wash. Washed linen bedding sets, fitted sheets, pillowcases, and linen duvet covers are particularly appreciated for their thermoregulating properties. Indeed, the sheets stay cool in summer, while in winter, they retain body heat without becoming damp.
By choosing a washed linen duvet cover or a flat linen sheet, you are guaranteed to keep your washed linen bed linen for many years with that crinkled effect that gives it all its charm.
Linen: Good for the skin and the environment
As we have seen, washed linen offers many advantages. Here are 2 other important points to know:
-
Linen sheets are eco-friendly: linen is a natural material. Furthermore, its production does not require any additional water, other than rainfall. For information, it takes 10,000 liters of water to produce 1 kilo of cotton. Finally, there is no waste following its harvest. The entire plant is used to make seeds, oil, textiles…
- Linen sheets are antibacterial and antiallergic: linen fabric possesses natural hypoallergenic and antibacterial properties. It is therefore a natural antiseptic that kills bacteria and fungi, and reduces inflammation. Consequently, a washed linen bed set is ideal for people suffering from atopic skin.
