Lenins are known as the oldest type of sheets.
So old, in fact, that they are now a blanket term pun intended
for all types of bedding. What's up, world?
It's Tony, and for this video I've compiled a short but my ID lists
of the best linen sheets on the market. I'll go over what makes them special,
from their construction to color options and so much more. So stick around.
Remember, you can find all of these sheets with writteninfo mattressclarity.com.
And if you want to pick up a set for yourself, I've got some coupons
for you in the description box below. Let's get started.
Starting off with my favorite linens, our editors pick the Brooklinen
linens sheets set. All linens are made from flax,
and Brooklinen makes their linens with 100% European flax.
Linens are known to have a bit of a texture to them, but they still
feel really soft. In fact, Brooklinen will send you this set prewashed,
which will help mitigate the shrinkage and will help soften these sheets.
Like all Brooklinen sheets, the fitted sheet has long and short labels
in the fitted sheet to take the guesswork out of dressing your bed. And if
you're looking for colors, Brooklyn sells this in a few natural shades,
but they also have limited edition colors and designs that have been
impressively hand dyed.
Now, just because linens have a texture to them, that doesn't
mean they can't feel super soft. Saatva linens
are some of the softest linens I have encountered. This is another
set that will come to you pre washed, meaning Saatva will wash the
set, which will help mitigate the shrinkage and will make them even softer.
They do have a bit of a texture to them, but Sofa designed these sheets
to get softer the more you use and wash them. The sapphire linens
are Oeko Tex certified, meaning no harmful chemicals or
toxins went into the production of these sheets, making them fairly eco
friendly. This will also show up in the color options. You've only got about
three natural shades to pick from to avoid putting any chemicals
or dyes into the production process,
just like the ecofriendly and organic Beds avocado
Linen Sheets certified organic. They carry a
GOTS certification, which is the gold standard for certified organic
products. This means that the flax used to make these sheets is
grown in an environmentally safe and sustainable way and is also socially
responsible. These are a great option for hot sleepers because every time you
change positions, or at least when I did, I felt the sheets open up and
let lots of air flow through. These are a luxury option,
but they're fairly durable. With good care, these sheets should last
you from anywhere between three to five years.
All linens are made from flax, but some high quality European
flax goes into parachute's linen Set parachute works with
a family owned factory in Portugal to process and make
its linen sheets. These are also Oeko Tex certified, meaning no harmful
chemicals or toxins went into making these sheets, so they're pretty ecofriendly
set, too. Parachute will sell these sheets in a variety of natural and
neutral shades, so if you don't like white, you've got options. The fitted
sheet can also fit mattresses up to 16 inches tall. And for
reference, beds tend to range from about eight to 14 inches tall,
so that fitted sheet will stay on the bed even if you toss and turn.
If you've never used linens before, don't worry. I've gathered some of the
most frequently asked questions about these sheets. One question how do
you soften linen sheets? Simple answer is just
use them. Linens will feel naturally textured, so there's not much you
can do about that. But they're designed in a way that if you use
them and the more you wash them, the softer they will feel.
Second question our linens sheets cool? Yes.
Linens are a great option for hot sleepers because it's a very
breathable material and it has some moisturewicking properties,
meaning you won't feel hot and sweaty underneath these sheets. Many linens are
made with looser construction, so there's tons of room for air to flow through
these sheets as well. Final question how long do linen sheets
last? The flax used to make these sheets is a very durable
material. With good care, all of these sheets on this list should
last you around three to five years. Thanks for sticking
around. If you've made it this far, hopefully you've learned a little thing or
two about linen sheets. Remember, you can find all of these
linen sheets with written information over mattressclarity.com.
