Linen is twice as durable as wool and cotton and keeps its form because of its inherent flexibility. Nevertheless, in contrast to its competitors, it really gets softer and cosier with use and wash. Due to its neutral PH balance, linen is supposed to soften and maintain your skin. Due to the minute gaps in the fabric that are present throughout linen bedding, it also produces a mild massaging effect on your skin. Our skin is stimulated by these breaks, which promotes relaxation and blood flow. Many hot sleepers prefer linen sheets over cotton because they feel much cooler against the skin and have an even looser weave that allows more air to pass through.
