What is linen?<\/h2>\r\nLinen is the fibre obtained from flax, one of the oldest cultivated plants used for textiles. Its structure absorbs moisture and releases it again quickly, contributing to linen\u2019s characteristically cool and dry feel.\r\n\r\nLinen is usually woven in a plain weave, with warp and weft threads crossing one over one. This creates its distinctive matt, lively surface \u2014 not glossy, but quiet and naturally textured.\r\n\r\nLinen is not the same as a linen-cotton blend. Such blends combine flax with cotton; our bedding is made from pure linen \u2014 100% flax, without any cotton.\r\n

Linen or Cotton?<\/h2>\r\nLinen and cotton are both natural fibres, but they differ in character. Linen reveals its origin: substantial and matt, with a visible structure and lively creases \u2014 a surface that continues to change. Our cotton fabrics appear smoother and more uniform.\r\n\r\nThose seeking a calm, even surface will find it in our cotton fabrics; those drawn to a more elemental material and a tangible texture will find it in linen. Neither fibre is better \u2014 each has its own temperament.\r\n

Linen in summer and throughout the year<\/h2>\r\nLinen absorbs moisture and releases it again. Combined with its characteristically dry feel, this can make the fabric feel pleasantly cool, particularly in summer.\r\n\r\nWhether it feels warm or cool, however, also depends on the duvet, the room temperature, and your individual sense of warmth.\r\n

In its natural state: texture, creases, and softness<\/h2>\r\nLinen creases \u2014 this is not a flaw, but part of its nature. The substantial fibre settles into soft folds rather than lying completely flat; those seeking a perfectly smooth surface may find cotton more suitable.\r\n\r\nOur linen is left in its natural state: not pre-washed and not stonewashed. The term describes only the finishing of the fabric \u2014 not its colour and not how the flax is grown. It becomes softer at home, not at the mill \u2014 a little more with every wash and through continued use.\r\n\r\nThose who prefer a softer, pre-washed surface from the outset may request stonewashed linen through our atelier.\r\n

From the Atelier<\/h2>\r\nEvery set is made only after your order is placed. It is cut and sewn in our ateliers in Germany and Poland, while the fabric is woven for us in Northern Italy.\r\n\r\nThe flax is grown in Belgium and France, keeping the textile journey within Europe from fibre to finished seam. The supply chain is European Flax certified, and the bedding fabrics used are certified to OEKO-TEX\u00ae STANDARD 100.\r\n\r\nThe bedding is finished with an envelope-style hotel closure, without a zip or buttons. Every set leaves the atelier without plastic packaging, presented in a reusable fabric bag.\r\n

Made to your dimensions<\/h2>\r\nEven 285x280 cm.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe dimensions of your duvet and pillows are what matter, not the size of the bed. Alongside our standard sizes, we make linen bedding in any technically feasible dimensions.\r\n\r\nSend us the width and length in centimetres \u2014 Oliwia, our Atelier Concierge, will reply personally by email or WhatsApp and confirm the price before you order. An overview of standard dimensions is available in our bedding size guide<\/a>.\r\n\r\nA set comprising a pillowcase and duvet cover is available from \u20ac175.\r\n\r\nThe texture and feel of linen are best understood by touch. For a sample fee credited in full towards a subsequent order, you can assess the fabric before making your decision \u2014 alongside percale and sateen in the sample set. Request the fabric sample<\/a> set.\r\n

Care: wash at up to 60\u00b0C<\/h2>\r\nLinen bedding should be washed inside out at up to 60\u00b0C. It may be tumble-dried at a low temperature and ironed at up to 150\u00b0C.\r\n\r\nThose who appreciate its lively texture may leave it unironed. When in doubt, follow the sewn-in care label.","link":"https:\/\/vonschuetz.com\/en\/linen-bedding\/","name":"Linen Bedding","slug":"linen-bedding","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":34,"meta":[],"menu_order":7,"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vonschuetz.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/516","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vonschuetz.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vonschuetz.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vonschuetz.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/34"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/vonschuetz.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=516"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
