You haven’t experienced the very best bed has to offer unless you’ve slept on 100% linen sheets.
As a natural derivative of the flax plant, they’re a godsend for people with cooked core temperatures because, unlike polyester, their loosely-woven fibres encourage airflow. They also adapt to the body, meaning you’ll be warm in winter, cool in summer and juuuuuuust right on the nights in between.
Something else to consider: the very nature of linen means it looks x1 million better crushed to buggery. That means you can do away with the arduous task of ironing / neatly folding bedding and your partner / mum / housemate can’t utter a bad word about it. Pull up the deliciously-crinkled duvet cover every morning, chuck on a decorative pillow and – et voilá – your bedroom is a friggin’ catalogue.

IN BED
Not only do IN BED offer stupidly snuggly sheet sets in off-beat colours like peach and moss, it recently branched out into pjs – all made from the same scrummy linen. Good luck resisting the aprons, tote bags and tablecloths, too.
Major Minor is great for the linen lover who can’t commit to one colour, because there are so many to choose from: cobalt blue, blush pink, pinstripe. The options are endless, so it’d be rude to stop at one set.
Whoever invented swimwear separates deserves a medal, but CULTIVER gets a big ‘ol A+ for its mix n’ match bedding. That means you get four different colourways to play with for the price of two, giving your bank account the break it deserves without skimping on style. Plus, all Aussie orders ship for freesies.
This cheeky local label should be your go-to if earthy tones make your heart flutter. Not only are the fibres for IN THE SAC sheets grown and woven in the Netherlands, exclusively for them, the cute drawstring bags the sheets come in make for excellent portable makeup bags. Double win.
A brand new addition to the linen landscape, Bondi-based R & R Bedding takes 100% French linen one step further with matching personalised pillowcases, embroidered with whatever you damn well please. Options: your initials, a #motivationalquote, ‘Yeezy Taught Me’.
Sweet dreams.
