Linen fitted sheet

Why Choose a Linen Fitted Sheet?

Despite its softness and slightly crumpled appearance that makes you feel like you're sleeping on a cloud, linen is very durable, much more so than cotton or cotton percale. Linen is a natural fibre known for its strength and durability. Linen fitted sheets can last for several years without showing any signs of wear. Opting for a fitted sheet, a duvet cover, and pillowcases made of washed linen thus constitutes a worthwhile investment for those who prioritise high-quality home linens. For this reason, Bonjourlelin crafts its fitted sheets from premium-quality linen, woven and dyed in Portugal with a density of 190gsm, using long fibres harvested in France and Belgium.

In addition to their longevity, linen fitted sheets also offer excellent breathability. The natural fibres of linen allow air to circulate easily, helping to regulate body temperature during sleep. This makes linen fitted sheets particularly suitable for people who tend to sweat at night or live in hot climates. Nevertheless, during the winter months, linen absorbs moisture while retaining warmth thanks to its thermoregulatory properties. As you've understood, a linen fitted sheet provides genuine comfort throughout the year. With a washed linen fitted sheet, you'll not only experience immediate comfort but also a previously unknown sleeping experience. Your nights will be more enjoyable, and once covered with a linen bedding set, your mattress will transform into a sanctuary of relaxation and tranquility.

Linen also has antibacterial and hypoallergenic properties, making it an ideal choice for people with allergies or sensitive skin. Unlike some types of synthetic fabrics, linen fitted sheets do not contain harmful chemicals, such as dyes or processing chemicals. All our bed and home linens are OEKO-TEX certified, which is a label guaranteeing the absence of toxic and harmful substances for consumers' health and environmental protection.

How to Care for a Linen Fitted Sheet?

To care for a linen fitted sheet, follow these simple care tips or those on the manufacturer's label. Wash it in the machine with warm or cold water, maximum 104°F, and preferably with a gentle detergent. Avoid bleach, bleaching agents, and even softeners that destroy natural fibres because linen has the particularity of softening naturally with each wash. Among the many advantages, linen dries very quickly, even in the middle of winter. You can therefore let it air dry or use a low-temperature dryer to prevent excessive shrinkage. Linen tends to wrinkle, giving it its charm, but you can lightly iron it at medium temperature if you prefer a smoother look. Following these steps will ensure the durability and beauty of your linen bedding.

Choosing the Right Linen Fitted Sheet

To fully enjoy all the benefits of a washed linen fitted sheet, it is important to choose it according to your mattress. A fitted sheet must fit perfectly on its base, and that's why Bonjourlelin is the only one to offer to order it with the best-fitting pocket size for the height of your mattress to the nearest measurement. To do this, measure the height of your mattress and add 10 cm so that the elastic we place around the entire sheet fits snugly and stays perfectly in place, tightly stretched over the entire surface of your bed regardless of its thickness.

We offer many standard sizes in our store, as well as the possibility of custom-made, extra-long sheets. Different dimensions are available from Twin to Calking, but even for any custom size upon request.

As the foundation of your bedding set, the fitted sheet must match and complement other items such as your pillowcases, flat sheet, and duvet cover. 16 colours are available to allow you to unleash your creativity in decorating your bedroom. Treat yourself to a washed linen fitted sheet in white, beige, blue, red, green, or black, according to your desires.
