Linen or cotton: which material will win the heart of your bedroom?

Choosing your bedding with your eyes closed is risky!

For soft and restful nights, it is better to bet on quality materials that will fill you with softness. Good news! You can count on great allies: cotton and linen. Often in competition, these two plant materials known for their benefits, compete here in a very close match to conquer your bedroom. So, Team Linen or Team Cotton? We help you choose...

SUCCUMB TO THE ROBUST SOFTNESS OF COTTON

THE MOST USED NATURAL FIBER IN THE WORLD!

Cotton is a formidable opponent, taking first place on the podium of the world's most used textile fiber. This vegetable fiber comes from the seeds of the cotton plant and is then transformed into yarn to make quality fabric. There are several weaving methods such as cotton jacquard or cotton percale, which nevertheless retain all the benefits of the natural fiber.

BUT WHY SUCH A SUCCESS?

Cotton is renowned for offering exceptional comfort to those lucky enough to wrap themselves in its softness. Because of its soft and pleasant material, cotton is often chosen in clothing and linens for everyday use.

COTTON BEDDING, SUMMER AND WINTER

The strength of cotton is also its impressive power of absorption which can suck up to 8.5% of its weight in water. In summer, it is an indispensable ally for the inconveniences linked to perspiration during your sleep. In winter, the highly insulating cotton retains the air heated by your body and protects you from the cold.

EASY TO MAINTAIN

Thanks to its resistant fibers, cotton can withstand heat perfectly and resist high temperatures for washing and ironing.
