Linen bed sheets are less explored, which explains why there are fewer types of linen bedding on the market.

The climate along this belt is optimal for growing and harvesting flax, bringing about the Belgium and French Linen we hear of today.

However, the uniform structure of percale cotton also leaves it more prone to wrinkling. Meanwhile, sateen sheets practice a one-over-three-under weave to produce tightly knit, silky soft sheets. But over time, this smoothness may fade and be prone to snags. Percale and sateen weaves are top-notch options depending on your needs.
