There’s nothing like a cool bed to keep you in dreamland for a few extra hours during the summer months. Just like silk sheets or an essential oil diffuser, the best linen sheets can make a big difference in the quality of your sleep when temperatures rise.

Unlike the cotton so often used in bedsheets, linen is made from flax and is hailed as one of the most—if not the most—breathable fabrics on the market. “Linen bedding has so many benefits that all actually complement each other: durability, sustainability, breathability, temperature regulation, moisture wicking, hypoallergenic properties, and of course, its aesthetic looks,” MagicLinen founder and creative director Vita Murauskiene tells Harper’s Bazaar. “To put it simply, linen bedding is so exceptional because it’s beneficial in so many aspects of our lives.”
