Linen sheets may cost more than cotton sheets and are not always suitable for smaller budgets. However, linen is effective at wicking away moisture and regulating temperature, as it may be woven more loosely than cotton. It is also a very durable material, meaning linen sheets can last longer than cotton.
Linen sheets generally need to be washed and dried using cool settings, which means caring for linen sheets has a smaller impact on the environment than other materials.
