While linen is the oldest type of material used in bedding, these days, cotton is the most recognizable and readily available of sheet materials. These materials differ in everything from softness to texture to durability, so each performs differently when it comes to keeping you comfortable during the night.

Durable, breathable, and uniquely textured, linen sheets are woven from thick flax stalks and are a great option for hot sleepers due to their low thread count and moisture-wicking properties. Cotton sheets typically feel softer and smoother than linen sheets, although these characteristics can differ based on the type of cotton and weave style used in the sheets.
Both linens and cottons are relatively easy to care for and tend to be eco-friendly. While linens are hypoallergenic and great for hot sleepers, they can be pricier than cotton sheets. Cotton sheets tend to be more accessible and usually offer more variety in color and design choices. The better choice for you ultimately comes down to personal preference!

I do prefer linen, but my budget generally leans cotton.

[@ChristinaPistone]

Thank you for breaking this all down for us!

[@Mattressclarity]

Glad it was helpful!

[@panizshirazinia2218]

I love soft Egyptian cotton. Its so comfortable and soooo soft and soooo cool/cold😍 I bought some linen two months ago and I was allergic to it. Started developing dry patches on my eyelids 🫣 Put my cotton sheet back on and my eyes are back to normal 🌚 I do feel like my cotton sheet has lasted along time more so than the linen which ive had two months.

[@raavila95]

I got cotton and linen sheets lol, 45 cotton 55 linen. Love the feel. My kinda sheets. Washing them now gona see how they are tonight on my purple mattress!! Seen reviews that linen can be itchy but it depends I think.

[@user-fl9cm2ri4i]

Lots of good info!

[@tenmiltenmil1770]

Thank you for sharing this valuable information ! ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍😊😊😊

[@Mattressclarity]

Glad it was helpful!

[@helenalovelock1030]

Do you prefer washed linen or mulberry silk ?

[@Flockingtheherd]

Have you tried beddys all in one zippered bedsheets?

[@gymchick76]

I’ve heard about both of these types of sheets being really good, but never thought to compare them. Lots of good info! Thanks 😊

[@Flockingtheherd]

Hi there, I have a rather odd question. I’m kinda strange, I do not like bedsheets/bed covers. I do not sleep under my sheets, it’s too cumbersome to me and I get way too hot under covers lol. So I usually just use a bedsheet and I try to never move it, however they’re super flimsy, always come undone at the edges and just look sloppy. Is there any bed set or invention you think would work best for me, a person who just likes sleeping on top of a bed. Preferably a bedsheet that’s one and done, never need to adjust or make the bed

[@thephantom7430]

I would suggest sheet clips..! They may be what you are looking for. 😊

[@damiettes7140]

How about cotton /linnen blends

[@johnhollingsworth4931]

Very helpful comparison!

[@Mattressclarity]

Glad it was helpful!

AMEN 🎉

[@anthonyjuniper2389]

Love the feel of all cotton sheets, not a fan of linen sheets!

[@annesummers09]

Where does muslin figure into this? Thanks.

[@maweekuh5115]

muslin fits into the cotton variety of sheets, considering its just a type of weave made from cotton! the specific weave of muslin cotton makes it pretty light & airy, but i honestly haven't seen bedsheets made with the muslin weave before- at least not in stores. i see blankets/comforters/duvet covers, but not bedsheets. cotton sheets are typically percale or sateen, but you might be able to find muslin bedsheets through etsy or something! and ymmv, but i imagine muslin sheets wouldn't be great for longevity purposes because of the texture- kinda gauze like and potentially very thin so prone to rips and tearing.

[@maryanna71701]

I prefer Egyptian cotton!

[@zannatulferdous6455]

Linen always I also prefer soft voyal cotton fabric and soft silk.soft cotton are expensive bcoz quality comfortable matter

[@Roberob1189]

Linen and sateen are the best. I also love silk but as I get older I sweat more in my sleep and I noticed it’s worse with the silk. I generally use jersey sheets in winter.

[@helenalovelock1030]

I love proper mulberry silk too. I’m Trying to find something as soft and smooth as silk that doesn’t over heat or that is not too cold when you first get in to bed.

I love the information in this video, but the background music was a bit distracting.

[@adamcheck4941]

It irritates me when people call cotton linen to make their towels sound fancier then they are it's a way of bulshitting to sound like they spend more then they do. y

[@Tommy_ZM]

The highest quality cotton sheets are better than the highest quality linen or silk sheets

[@SuperLuckao]

No because linen has looser weave so dust mites get in

[@marcole4221]

I have until tomorrow to order some good bed sheets pls help. I really want to rest myself to good bed sheets I’ve never done this

[@SuperLuckao]

@@marcole4221 well, I'd get lyocel, bamboo and tencel. Soft and silk like. Breathable and moisture wicking. I heard linen tears easily and lots of lint in wash. Apparantly it goes away but idk I had 2 linen pairs of pants. Both tore in a month of wearing. Only the expensive linen with a much tighter weave would be durable. I might keep a pair of linen sheets I got for the asthetic but not durability. no think bamboo or tencel is best. Made of the eucalyptus fibre. Cooling plus warm in winter and not crumply

[@marcole4221]

@@SuperLuckao thank you so much! I appreciate you’re feedback. Definitely not going with linen. I was thinking more Egyptian 100% cotton for my fitted and flat sheet than maybe a silk duvet

[@helenalovelock1030]

@@SuperLuckao have you tried mulberry silk sheets ? How do they compare to linen or Tencel ?

[@helenalovelock1030]

@@marcole4221 how did you get on. ? What did you get?

[@danbee415]

don't buy cheap bedsheets. you get what you pay for and if you maintain it and look after it, you rtealistically only need 2-3 bedsheets. buy the most expensive one you can afford.

[@NelsonClick]

Drats! I watched the whole video to find out which one was better and ended with "whichever one you prefer". Thanks for nothing buddy. 🙃
