Keep Your Linen Soft, Strong, and Beautiful

Expert Tips for Long-Term Linen Care

There’s a reason why 100% French Flax Linen bedding has become a beloved staple for those who value quality, comfort, and timeless design. Its natural breathability and durability make it a smart long-term investment—but only if it’s cared for the right way.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about linen bedding care, from smart storage practices to rotation routines and gentle refreshes between washes.

1. Storing Your Linen Bedding the Right Way

When not in use, we recommend keeping your linen sheets, duvet covers, quilted blankets, and pillowcases in a breathable fabric pouch or cotton bag. This protects them from dust while allowing airflow, which is essential for preserving the natural fibres.

2. Why Linen Rotation Matters

If you’re using the same sheet set every single night, wear and tear will show up far sooner. We recommend rotating between 2–3 sets of sheets to extend the life of your linen. Aim to switch them out every couple of weeks—your linen (and your sleep) will thank you.

3. How to Refresh Linen Between Washes

French Flax Linen has a relaxed, natural look, and gentle creases are part of its charm. If you'd like a crisper finish, you can lightly iron on a low steam setting. For quick refreshes between washes, a good shake or a few minutes in the dryer on low can work wonders.

Bonus Tip: Wash With Care

Always wash your linen on a gentle cycle in cool or warm water. Use a gentle detergent (preferably liquid), and dilute with at least 50% water. Avoid fabric softeners, optical brighteners, and bleach, which can degrade natural fibres over time.

Why Proper Linen Care Pays Off

High-quality linen, like the kind we craft at Selah + Stone, is designed to last. With the right care, your bedding can remain luxuriously soft and breathable for years—making it a smarter choice than fast-fashion alternatives that wear out quickly.

Whether you’re new to linen or already a loyal fan, adopting these simple habits will help preserve your bedding’s beauty and comfort for the long run.
