The Best Linen Sheets for Clean, Crisp Bedding

Dapu sheets are 100 percent French linen, with a 108-thread count. Exclusively grown in Normandy and harvested in an environmentally-friendly fashion, these sheets earn high praise and thousands of positive reviews. The fabric is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, one of the world’s best-known labels for testing for harmful substances, for environmental practices, and the glossy finish is stonewashed for maximum softness. The fitted sheets are extra-deep and have 360-degree elastic edging. Four sizes are available (twin through king) in the following colors: off-white, natural linen, summer sky, smoky pink, sky blue, gray, and Celadon. If you need extra pillowcases, you can buy them separately (in natural and off-white). Like all good-quality linen, Dapu sheets get softer with every wash. The price is also highly competitive and less expensive than other French linen brands

These 100 percent linen sheets are Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified, so the manufacturer does not use chemicals or toxic dyes. Nicely finished with sewn embroidery around the border, Simple&Opulence sheets have a 150 thread count and are more affordable than many top-of-the-line linen sheet sets. Pick your size (from twin to king), then choose your favorite shade and embroidered border (two variations are available). Machine wash on warm or cold settings and tumble dry on medium heat. These linen sheets run on the thin side, so treat them gently. Perfect for warm climates and keeping you comfortable during the night.

Oasis sheets are 55 percent linen and 45 percent cotton, which gives them the look of linen and the softness of cotton at an affordable price. The manufacturer’s balance of textures gives these sheets all-natural breathability. The sheets are vintage-washed for added softness and designed for extra-large pillows and deep mattresses. Only white sheets are available, in full, queen, and king sizes. With a 230 thread count, Oasis sheets have a durable weave that’s also gentle on skin. The materials used for the bedding are pesticide-free, and the cotton is hand-picked to reduce carbon emissions. The manufacturer recommends you break in your sheets by washing on cold and tumble dry on low.

Beflax sheets are heirloom quality and will last for many years, with the right care. The manufacturer weaves the sheet from 100 percent European-sourced linen with plants harvested according to eco-friendly and socially responsible methods. The fabric is stonewashed and softened with natural enzymes to ensure comfort without sacrificing fiber strength. Due to their superior finish, Beflax sheets won’t shrink and will only get softer with use. These sheets are thicker in feel, with a high GSM and richly textured weave that is entirely hypoallergenic and breathable. Due to the sheets’ thickness, you may initially feel they are rough. Plan to wash these sheets several times to soften them. Each four-piece set is available in twin, queen, and king sizes. Colors are earthy and won’t stain easily: choose from three shades of brown, natural, and gray.

You will transform your bed and pay respect to the planet when you invest in Len Linum organic linen sheets.

Each four-piece set contains a flat and fitted sheet, plus two pillowcases. Every size is available, from twin to California king. The 11 color options include charcoal black, midnight blue, coral, natural, and white. Texturally, these sheets are relatively thin, so you should treat them with care and launder on gentle cycles.

Solino Home manufactures its sheets from 100 percent Belgian flax. The company believes that luxury is in the details: the fitted sheet even has labels for “head” and “foot.” The stitching is beautiful, too, and will ensure the sheets last a long time. Each set comes wrapped in simple, sustainable packaging and a linen bag to store your sheets. Select your size (full through king, no twin available), and a preferred shade (white, ivory, or stone). Care is easy, as these sheets are completely machine washable. For a timeless look, layer these carefully made sheets with tone-on-tone bedding, to show off the natural dyes and weave.

Sijo creates its sheets in small batches in Normandy, France, a region known for fine linen production. These 175 GSM, 100 percent linen sheets are preshrunk and stonewashed for added softness and sheen. Oeko-Tex Standard 100-certified Sijo sheets are dye and chemical-free. Since not everyone uses a flat sheet, you can choose between a three-piece or four-piece set (flat sheet included), in sizes that range from full to California king. Sijo’s seven color choices are subtle, sophisticated, and show off the natural linen weave to the best effect. Launder according to the manufacturers’ instructions. No ironing is required. While these sheets are expensive, they receive top marks for durability, softness, and long-lasting beauty.

Simple&Opulence sheets are pretty, comfortable, and their price won’t break the bank. Made of 55 percent Belgian linen and 45 percent cotton, this set blends both fabrics’ best. The sheets are soft, breathable, and stylish. These high-quality 160 GSM/200 thread count sheets are also Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified for eco-friendliness. You can choose from four color-fast shades—white, gray, natural, and navy—that will stay fresh and bright. The ruffled edges are subtle, not frilly, and give just a touch of shabby chic flair. They are available in twin through king sizes. You wash them on a gentle cycle (no bleach) and tumble dry on medium heat. The linen will grow softer with each wash, and won’t lose the texture and heft that pure cotton doesn’t have.
