Dream in Linen Bedding
Take a behind-the-scenes look at the production process and the skilled craftsmanship that goes into creating the perfect linen sheets.
Are you a fan of linen as much as we are? Are you looking for bedding that is soft, cooling and has that lived-in, casual-chic look? If so, snuggle up. You're in for a treat!
Linen is a dreamy choice for bedding, thanks to its unique texture and breathability. But have you ever wondered what makes our 100% European linen bedsheets so special? Let's break it down! It all starts with the flax plant, which is grown in France and Belgium. These regions have the perfect climate, soil conditions, and other environmental factors that make them the ideal place to cultivate and grow flax. The result? Fibers that are finer, smoother, and more uniform - which means that our linen bedding is so soft, high quality and casually elegant.
But producing our linen is no small feat - it's truly a labor of love. While linen is easier to cultivate than cotton, its courser texture and longer fibers make it more time-consuming to spin into yarn. That's why we only work with skilled artisans who are experts in their craft to create a textile that's both soft and durable.
The production process involves several steps, including retting, scutching, and hackling. Retting is the stage in which flax soaks are soaked in water to break down the pectins that hold the fibers together, resulting in a finer fiber. Scutching and hackling are the processes of separating the fibers from the woody portion of the flax stalk and removing any impurities or irregularities, resulting in a smoother, more uniform fiber. The end result is a slubbed texture that adds to its rustic, lived-in charm, which we know you'll love.
Once the fibers are cleaned, they're spun into yarn using the most innovative methods at our amfori BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative) workshop in China.
We sweat the small stuff, so you don't have to. You can enjoy a perfectly cool night's sleep in our Grae Cove 100% European linen bedsheets, knowing that every step of the production process has been carefully considered to ensure the softness, durability, and uniformity that make linen bedding so special.
Indulge yourself in our cozy, casual-chic linen bedding, and experience the exceptional benefits.

Not Just For Summer...
Don't be fooled by linen's reputation as a summer bedding choice - our linen sheets are a year-round staple that will keep you cozy and comfortable in any season. Thanks to its natural insulating properties, linen is able to adapt to your body temperature and the temperature of your surroundings. The ingenious, porous fibers in linen create pockets of warm air when you're feeling cool, and release air when you're feeling warm, making it the perfect all-season bedding choice. Additionally, linen is renowned for its moisture-absorption power, with many sources confirming that it can absorb more water than cotton. This makes it a great option for those seeking all-night comfort and breathability. These are the keys to all-night comfort.
Breathe Easier
Of course, linen bedding is not only breathable and has that imperfectly-perfect charm, but it's also hypoallergenic, making it an excellent choice for anyone with allergies or sensitivities. At Grae Cove, we take it one step further, our linen sheets are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, meaning they're free from harmful chemicals that can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions. Our linen bedding has got you covered - in the best way possible.

But for that truly lived-in, luxurious feel, keep washing and you'll notice your bedding getting softer and softer with each wash. With easy-care properties and minimal upkeep, you can enjoy the comfort of linen without any added stress or hassle.

Eco-Chic Sleep
Our Commitment to Ethical and Responsible Linen Bedding
At Grae Cove, we spend a lot of time discussing linen. And, we get into office debates like should we iron linen clothes (our team is split 50-50!). But one thing we all agree on is that our linen bedding shouldn't just be stylish, it has to be sustainable too. So, when it came down to designing and crafting our linen bedding, we wanted to ensure that each step, from bud to bed, was done intentionally, thoughtfully and responsibly.
Fast Flax Facts
We strive to ensure that each step of our production process is as eco-friendly and responsible as possible. Here are some fast flax facts for those who are new to the world of linen bedding:
Flax requires less water than other crops like cotton, making it a more environmentally friendly choice. In fact, according to Sustainable Jungle, it takes just 6.4 liters of water to produce a linen shirt, compared to 2,700 liters for a non-organic cotton shirt.
Non-organic linen uses fewer pesticides than cotton, also making it a better choice for the environment.
Linen production generates minimal waste since the entire flax plant is utilized. From seed to stalk, you can make flaxseed oil, paper currency and more! After production, linen is also biodegradable, meaning it won't leave any harmful residues after decomposing.
Our production emphasizes small-batch manufacturing, meaning we do not produce vast quantities of bedding, minimizing waste and overstock.
Snooze Responsibly
You care about the entire process from seed to sheet, which is why we only source European linen from EUROPEAN FLAX® certified growers and producers. The EUROPEAN FLAX® label is more than just a stamp of approval - it's a guarantee of traceability and sustainability for premium linen fiber grown exclusively in Western Europe. What's more? Our flax is grown without the use of irrigation and is GMO-free. All of our linen bedding is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified - so you can rest easy knowing that it's free from harmful chemicals. Better for the planet, better for you.
But the story of our goal of social responsibility doesn't end there. You want more accountability from brands like us. We've partnered with an amfori BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative) compliant workshop in China to spin our flax into your signature bedding. For those of you who do not know, the BSCI model ensures our people are treated ethically, fairly and respectfully. Additionally, it guarantees workers rights to freedom of association and personal safety, and prohibits child labor.
These are just a few ways we're bringing you feel good home essentials. We take pride in using fabrics that are both stylish and eco-friendly, and we believe that by making small changes, we can all make a big difference. So, go ahead and snuggle up in your cozy linen bedding - and rest easy knowing that you've made an eco-chic choice.
