We Asked 8 People What Sleeping on Linen Sheets Feels Like – Here's What They Said

1. Tori Clapham, Peaches Pilates founder

Sydney-based Tori Clapham of Peaches Pilates started sleeping on 100% linen sheets around 18 months ago.

"I stayed at the divine 28 Degrees in Byron Bay, where the beds are decked out in luxurious 100% linen," she explains. "I loved the way the sheets felt, but also how absolutely chic it made the bed, and in turn the look of the entire room. After that, I was hooked. It didn't take me long to find Bed Threads - my favourite brand ever!

"I think the look and feel of linen instantly gives you a lavish feel, which, let's be honest, we could all do with a bit of. There's also a gorgeous rustic look about linen; I love the way the sheets are imperfectly crinkled on the bed, and the fact that the sheets never have that 'plastic-y' feel of cheap alternatives."

For Tori, sleeping on 100% linen sheets feels decadent and fresh, and she especially loves the weighty quality of linen sheets. "Weighty linen can make you feel like you have your life in order," she says. We agree.

At home, Tori rotates between Pinstripe, Terracotta, Olive and Oatmeal (her favourite).

3. Hannah C, first-time customer

After experimenting with a few different linen bedding solutions and not loving the outcome, Hannah decided to invest in a set of Threads.

"I’ve ordered linen sheets from other companies that get saggy and baggy with time, but these don’t have that issue."

Immediately falling in love with their buttery smooth texture and array of colourways, it's safe to say Hannah is now a Bed Threads fan.

"These sheets are aging incredibly well. They get cosier with each wash, the colours are holding up well, and they fit my mattress perfectly."

At home, Hannah sleeps on Hazelnut & Terracotta.

5. Ashleigh Hogan, Bed Threads team member

Ashleigh maintains good sleep hygiene, going to bed at 10pm every night. Despite this, she can be a restless sleeper. "I wake up constantly," Hogan says. "I've always been like that."

"I'm a really hot sleeper, so I really like how linen keeps you cool in the warmer months, especially since our dog Elvie, sleeps in the bed with us, which makes it even hotter."

She's been sleeping on 100% linen for about six months now, and originally made the change from regular cotton sheets because of the colour range on offer at Bed Threads. "I loved the colours, and they're just different to what I've always had in the past, so I wanted to try them."

"At first they weren't as smooth as cotton, but I quickly came to love the texture and weight of the linen."

She also loves how easy linen sheets are to wash and dry. While it's best to air dry linen sheets, she has found that using the dryer on low heat also works well.

At home, Ashleigh sleeps on Rust and Turmeric.

7. Maggie Stephenson, Artist

Florida-based illustrator Maggie Stephenson started sleeping on 100% linen sheets after we reached out to her about collaborating on a series of art prints (she's just launched her second set of exclusive prints on Bed Threads).

"I would have never thought of 100% linen sheets if not for Bed Threads," Stephenson tells us. "I completely fell in love with the colour options and was intrigued by how comfy they looked."

She loves how comforting and cosy linen sheets are. "Sleeping in 100% linen feels like a hug," she says."I have the best sleep of my life in linen sheets. I look forward to cuddling up in my sheets every night."

After experiencing the comfort of linen herself, she decided to order some Bed Threads for her and her husband's sons. "Once we experienced how cosy the sheets were, we wanted our kids to experience it as well!"

The only downside for Maggie is that being so cosy can make it difficult to actually get out of bed.

At home, Maggie has two colour duos to alternate between: Rust and Olive, and Pinstripe and White.
