If you perceive bed sheets as an investment and are willing to shell out more for longer-lasting sheets, then linen may be a better fit.

Don't worry, you're not alone. Many people use these terms interchangeably, but the truth is that they refer to two different types of bedding that serve different purposes.

Linen has natural breathability and insulation properties and therefore, offers excellent temperature regulation all year round. The fabric is very strong and durable, which means that linen bedding is really long-lasting.
