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.

'Jersey feels like your favorite T-shirt and is wrinkle-resistant, but not ideal for someone who sleeps warm,' says Bed, Bath & Beyond.

Linen is another natural fiber derived from the flax plant. Instead of fluffy cotton bolls, linen fibers are produced from the stems of flax. The structure of flax stems is what gives linen fabrics their innate strength and durability. Don’t let the rough thread fool you at first glance, though - the more you wash linen, the softer it becomes.
