The 19^th century saw the invention of the cotton gin. This machine quickly and easily separates cotton fibres from their seeds which revolutionised cotton production. Thus, the cotton sheet was born. This was the start of a new industry. It became much easier to produce cotton than flax and that in turn made it a cheaper product. Ultimately cotton became the popular choice for bedding, though the name bed linen stuck.

Moisture-wicking and cooling, bamboo is ideal for anyone who sweats or overheats at night. It's also naturally hypoallergenic and anti-bacterial, so ideal for anyone with sensitive skin, asthma, or allergies. The moisture-wicking properties work to repel dust mites on sheets, which can cause common indoor allergy symptoms like nasal congestion and sneezing.
