European flax
linen sheet set

by Cultiver

The fabric your skin spends a third of its life against.

Woven from 100% European flax and certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, which tests the finished textile for regulated harmful substances rather than trusting the supply chain. A set is a flat sheet, a fitted sheet and two pillowcases. Linen starts a little crisp and gives in after about five washes.

What is inside — and what is never

What is inside

  • 100% European flax linen
  • OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified
  • Flat sheet, fitted sheet, two pillowcases
  • Stonewashed finish, no ironing

What is never

  • Polyester blends sold as "linen look"
  • Wrinkle-free finishes
  • Optical brighteners
  • A thread count used as a marketing number
What we cannot claim

OEKO-TEX Standard 100 means the finished fabric was tested against a list of regulated substances. It is not an organic certification, it says nothing about the farm, and it does not cover water use in flax processing. It is still the most useful mark on bedding, so we look for it.

How to use it

How to keep it

i.

Wash warm

Warm water, gentle cycle, and about half the detergent you would normally use.

ii.

Dry low

Tumble on low and take it out slightly damp. Heat is the only thing that ages linen badly.

iii.

Leave it

Put it straight on the bed, creases and all. That is the point of the fabric.

“I resisted the price for two years. Four years in, the first set is still on the bed and it has never looked better than it does now.”
