It’s time to get serious about sustainable sleep, and nothing provides easy, breezy sustainability like affordable linen bedding. You don’t have to compromise on quality, either, thanks to these brands who care about creating luxe linen sheets that are accessible to all.
Linen, if you didn’t know, is one of the world’s oldest fabrics—so much so that Egyptian royalty (i.e. mummies) have been taking naps wrapped in linen for thousands of years. If they deem it fit for the Gods, it’s good enough for us.
Part of what gives linen its longevity is the fact that it requires an intensive manufacturing process, meaning this beautiful lightweight linen often comes with a heavy price tag. So to buck that trend, we’ve curated our favorite (relatively inexpensive) brands who not only use this material, but also green business practices and ethical supply chains.
We’re also in the process of launching our new Brand Rating System, which we’ll use to assess brands against a range of criteria (like chemical use and climate impact) to ensure we only highlight the best. To learn more about this new system, please see our explainer here.
We independently research all featured brands and we ask them to confirm their claims. In many cases we personally review recommended products. This post contains affiliate links which means we may earn a commission if you buy something. Learn more here.

these aren’t affordable?
It’d be helpful if the prices were actually included in the article so I don’t have to click on every single company only to find out that the so-called “affordable” sheets cost $120 for a single sheet.
Thanks for the suggestion J
