Pure linen sheets for skin allergies
Sleeping in pure bed linen offers allergy sufferers a more comfortable sleep. These pure flax leaves are crispy and cool on the hot summer nights. Flax is a natural fiber and has particularly good absorption properties, allowing sweat to be absorbed throughout the night. It is also anti-static and resists dust. All of these properties are particularly good for asthmatics. Flax is the most ecological natural fiber that uses few chemicals compared to cotton.

Pure linen sheets for skin allergies
Sleeping in pure bed linen offers allergy sufferers a more comfortable sleep. These pure flax leaves are crispy and cool on the hot summer nights. Flax is a natural fiber and has particularly good absorption properties, allowing sweat to be absorbed throughout the night. It is also anti-static and resists dust. All of these properties are particularly good for asthmatics. Flax is the most ecological natural fiber that uses few chemicals compared to cotton.
The best quality fabric comes from Western European sources. Belgium is still known for the cultivation and processing of flax. Belgian linen is accredited with the Masters of Linen label as very little is woven in Ireland anymore. Using the finest quality fine flax yarns, it is woven with a higher thread count of 1300 than those from other countries. With more densely packed yarns, the higher thread count allows for a smoother finish and superior quality. Many mail order companies sell coarser sheets, often made in Eastern Europe. The sizes are often not as generous as the looms are smaller and sometimes these sheets even have a seam.
Linen sheets are hypoallergenic and provide much-needed comfort to allergy sufferers. They are also known for their luxurious feel and are now praised by interior designers for their opulence, transporting the user back to Edwardian times when such sheets were de rigeur. Belgian sheets are marketed in more modern packaging, and fitted sheets are now available for home comfort. They are much more affordable than the old-fashioned sheets we knew in the past, allowing this luxury to reach the homes of everyone interested in style in the bedroom.
Linen and duvet covers can be purchased online in the UK. However, buyers are advised to look for the 1300 thread count as 1400 is much more expensive. Many mail order companies sell around 1000/1100 from Eastern European sources, which does not provide the same feeling of cool quality as that produced from coarser flax yarns.
