When it comes to the best linen sheets, you have an overwhelming field of options. Look no further for the ultimate find in easygoing, chic bedding. This roundup of the best linen sheets will prove to any skeptic that linen has as much of a place at a beachside picnic as it does in the bedroom. You may think linen is just for summer—and yes, the moisture-wicking fabric is fantastic for body temperature regulation—but the light, long-lasting fabric with outstanding breathability has become increasingly popular year-round for sheets, duvets, and shams (not to mention curtain panels, headboards, and bed skirts—but that’s another story). Another plus? Linen fibers, which are derived from the flax plant, are naturally hypoallergenic, absorbent, and antibacterial, so a great option if you’ve got sensitive skin.
As luxury linen has moved into the mainstream to become one of the softest bedding options, a major bonus is that a far more appealing range of price points and color options are now dominating the market. From the shockingly well-priced all the way to investment-worthy selections (including stonewashed linen sheets) there’s something for every budget—so you won’t have to look too hard for eco-friendly, organic options when you’re shopping for your next set of sheets.
