FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the difference between linen and bamboo linen?

Traditional linen is made from flax fibres and is known for its textured feel, durability, and relaxed, airy look. Bamboo linen-style bedding is usually made from bamboo-derived fibres designed to offer a soft, smooth feel with a similar casual appearance. The main difference is in the fibre source and texture, with flax linen feeling crisper and more textured, while bamboo fabric tends to feel softer and silkier. Browse our range of bamboo sheets if you are drawn to that softer, silkier finish.

Is bamboo linen good for people with skin eczema?
