Unlike cotton sheets, the strength of linen lies in its loose weave. Because flax has its own structure, there is little need for densely knit threads to produce a smooth fabric. As such, linen never depends on thread count as a measure of quality. Most linen fabrics have a thread count of around 80 – 150, a much lower range than cotton sheets.

Materials for Bed Linens: Bed linens share many of the same materials as bed sheets but also include additional options. Duvet covers, for instance, might use heavier fabrics for extra warmth or distinctive textures for a decorative touch. Pillowcases often mirror the material of bed sheets but can feature additional embellishments or varied textures to enhance the bed's visual appeal.
