Our newest and first of it's kind collection, Egyptian cotton-European linen bedding is the epitome of casual luxury through the weave, material, hand feel and quality that can transform your bedroom into a cozy oasis. But what exactly is cotton-linen and what differentiates it from traditional cotton or linen sheets? Take a look at why cotton linen has become more popular and if it is the right material for you.  

How is Cotton Linen Made?

Cotton-linen is derived from both the fibers from the cotton plant as well as fibers from the flax plant in which linen comes from. The blend between cotton and linen fibers results in a sumptuous mix of durability and softness. The soft, delicate nature of the cotton woven with the breathable, light linen creates a comfortable, cool, moisture-wicking fabric that provides long-lasting comfort. 

Cotton Linen vs. Cotton

Because cotton-linen contains properties of linen in the blend, it tends to be a bit coarser with a more lived-in look than traditional cotton. Cotton is known to be extremely soft and breathable but much more smooth than other materials. If you prefer a more casual look without sacrificing the benefits that come with cotton, cotton-linen may be a great choice for you.

Cotton-Linen vs. Linen

Linen itself is normally much coarser, lighter, and less dense than cotton. It is also very cooling and because of the weave pattern, it provides a cooler sleep than most cotton, depending on the type of cotton. Overtime, linen tends to smooth out but when blended with cotton, it would acquire those qualities that cotton possesses and create a more smooth look in a quicker turnaround time. Additionally, all bedding regardless of material should always be cared for properly by using delicate wash cycles and mild detergent for best results.
