As so many of you know, Linen anything is our JAM!!! We have both collected vintage linen sheets and bedding, napkins and table cloths for years and have converted most of the bedding in our homes to linen years ago!!! Both of us love the feel and softness of the fabric as well as the durability!! Take a peek below at our 5 top reason’s to use Linen sheets and our best tips on how to keep it white and bright!
If you have never had pure linen bedding before and you wonder what all the hype is about it, here is the low down!!!
Reason #1 to love linen sheets- they are SO soft to sleep in
The fabric is so breathable and the comfort level is off the charts! It only gets better every time you wash it! Linen is also highly absorbent so all of you that sweat in your sleep, linen won’t aid in that process. It will just help to absorb it!!
Reason #2 – Durability rating is through the roof!
You will always get your money’s worth out of linen as it is just so dang strong. There are some tips on washing linen to help it last even longer and we cover those below.
Reason #3 –
It’s eco-friendly!
Linen is made out of the Flax plant. The entirety of the plant is used in the process of making linen fabric so it doesn’t leave a foot print. It is also completely biodegradable! Both of us have gone through a set of sheets already and have used the old extra linen for other things around our home. Cut the left over linen into table runners, hand towels, Christmas stockings etc. Even just hang a chunk of raw edge linen on a hook to add some texture to any space.
Reason #4 – Linen is hypoallergenic!
All of you with skin sensitivity, meet your new best friend!! This makes it the perfect choice for your children with sensitive skin as well.

Last, but not least, Reason #5 – It is temperature regulating.
So no matter the time of year or climate you live in, this fabric will do its job to keep you comfortable!! In the summer, you stay cool and in the winter you stay warm. What more do you want?!!
This time of year is our absolute favourite time of year to do laundry as we both like to hang everything on the line! With multiple kiddos in the house, we have learned a thing or two about how to keep our laundry looking good and stain free. Especially for Deb because all of her couches are white!
We have our own line of custom linens and market basket’s that can be purchased in our online shop, Vintage Society Co! They are all of our favourite pieces we have in our own homes
TIP: When it’s the cooler months and you can’t line dry your linen sheets … we wash them on a delicate cycle and then put them back on our beds slightly damp. Putting them on when they are still a bit wet lets them dry flat and with that crisp look! Linen dries fast so if you put them on damp at lunchtime they will be dry by bedtime.
So there you have it! Those are the top 5 reasons to use linen sheets for bedding and towels in your home as well as tried and tested tips to whiten and brighten laundry! We hope you give one or more of them a try and let us know your thoughts!
Love these tips! Great info!
Thank you so much!
Which linen sheets do you recommend? Which are the softest?
This is who we recommend for bedding. Get the bio linen as it is a bit more durable. It isn’t as soft though but will last a lot longer
