If you’re in the market for new bedding, consider swapping out your cotton sheets for linen. It’s one of the more breathable material options out there—which is especially wonderful if you have a warmer body temperature—and it’s also more sustainable and friendly to the planet than traditional cotton. Moreover, linen sheets are soft, moisture-absorbent, and extremely durable; they’re perfect for keeping cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

The best night’s sleep starts with a solid foundation, so be sure to head to our organic mattress and organic pillow guides!
