Linen bed sheets are valued for their natural, textured feel and ability to stay cool in warm weather.

Thread count is the number of threads woven into a square inch of fabric. The higher the thread count, the more durable the fabric will be. In most cases, a higher thread count also means a softer fabric. However, the type of fiber and weave can also affect the quality of the sheets and should be considered when researching your options. When looking at the thread count, try to find sheets that are between 200-800.
