A GOOD REST ASSURED
As spring takes hold, and days begin to feel warmer, changing the winter duvet to a lighter-weight material will help to aid a comfortable night’s sleep. Woven linen or pure linen bedding is made from fibres of the flax plant and has unique qualities, often providing many benefits over other fabrics. It is renowned for its natural temperature-regulating properties, both heat conducting and air permeable, so that it is cool in summer and warm in winter. This means that the bedding can be used all year round. The fabric is also highly absorbent, so that any perspiration is wicked away from the skin without the sheets feeling damp. It is particularly beneficial for those with sensitive skin, due to its bacteria-resistant and anti-allergic capabilities. Linen has been valued for its distinctive characteristics for centuries, and the use of woven linen fabrics from wild flax may date as far back as 30,000 years. It is often considered a luxurious fabric and brings a touch of opulence to the bedroom, particularly in rooms where the bed has been made the prominent feature.
