Durable, breathable, and uniquely textured, linen sheets are woven from thick flax stalks and are a great option for hot sleepers due to their low thread count and moisture-wicking properties. Cotton sheets typically feel softer and smoother than linen sheets, although these characteristics can differ based on the type of cotton and weave style used in the sheets.

Both linens and cottons are relatively easy to care for and tend to be eco-friendly. While linens are hypoallergenic and great for hot sleepers, they can be pricier than cotton sheets. Cotton sheets tend to be more accessible and usually offer more variety in color and design choices. The better choice for you ultimately comes down to personal preference!

I do prefer linen, but my budget generally leans cotton.

[raavila]

I got cotton and linen sheets lol, 45 cotton 55 linen. Love the feel. My kinda sheets. Washing them now gona see how they are tonight on my purple mattress!! Seen reviews that linen can be itchy but it depends I think.

[ChristinaPistone]

Thank you for breaking this all down for us!

[aperson]

What type of sheet do I need for blankets So they are encapsulating blankets and I just cover myself with the sheet to avoid itching from wool?

[pashh]

I love soft Egyptian cotton. Its so comfortable and soooo soft and soooo cool/cold😍 I bought some linen two months ago and I was allergic to it. Started developing dry patches on my eyelids 🫣 Put my cotton sheet back on and my eyes are back to normal 🌚
I do feel like my cotton sheet has lasted along time more so than the linen which ive had two months.

Thank you for sharing this valuable information
! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍😊😊😊

[gymchick]

I’ve heard about both of these types of sheets being really good, but never thought to compare them. Lots of good info! Thanks 😊

[lajrxx]

I was only using cotton sheets for atleast the last 6 years and then 2 months ago I tried linen sheets and it’s OVER . No more cotton

[helenalovelock]

Do you prefer washed linen or mulberry silk ?

[anthonyjuniper]

Love the feel of all cotton sheets, not a fan of linen sheets!

[Flockingtheherd]

Hi there, I have a rather odd question. I’m kinda strange, I do not like bedsheets/bed covers. I do not sleep under my sheets, it’s too cumbersome to me and I get way too hot under covers lol. So I usually just use a bedsheet and I try to never move it, however they’re super flimsy, always come undone at the edges and just look sloppy. Is there any bed set or invention you think would work best for me, a person who just likes sleeping on top of a bed. Preferably a bedsheet that’s one and done, never need to adjust or make the bed

[Flockingtheherd]

Have you tried beddys all in one zippered bedsheets?

[zannatulferdous]

Linen always
I also prefer soft voyal cotton fabric and soft silk.soft cotton are expensive bcoz quality comfortable matter

[annesummers]

Where does muslin figure into this? Thanks.

[adamcheck]

It irritates me when people call cotton linen to make their towels sound fancier then they are it's a way of bulshitting to sound like they spend more then they do.

I love the information in this video, but the background music was a bit distracting.

[danbee]

don't buy cheap bedsheets. you get what you pay for and if you maintain it and look after it, you rtealistically only need 2-3 bedsheets. buy the most expensive one you can afford.

[midhulmidan]

Bro, I can play only your video as a floating window on my phone. I mean youtube should not allow that, but somehow it works only for you.

[Roberob]

Linen and sateen are the best. I also love silk but as I get older I sweat more in my sleep and I noticed it’s worse with the silk. I generally use jersey sheets in winter.
