Despite those relaxed boho charms, linen’s aesthetic values come second to both its premium cooling qualities and comfy feel. According to bedding company Linoto, sheets fashioned from linen “[help] maintain a cooler body temperature than either silk or cotton during warm weather conditions, by a difference of approximately five to seven degrees Fahrenheit.” Although opting for 100% linen over other breathable materials may cost a not-so-pretty penny, it’s a natural and durable fiber that’s built to last longer than the cheaper alternatives. Plus, it’s known to get softer with every wash and much kinder on your skin.
