The Best Linen Sheets of 2025

These stonewashed sheets felt soft and comfy right out of the package, and our hot sleepers swore by their breathability. The Sijo LuxeWeave Linen Sheet Set demonstrates why so many shoppers seek out high-quality linen bedding. The sheets are elegant, breathable, and gentle on the skin. The set is constructed from organic French flax, sourced in small batches, making it a sustainable choice that should last for many years.

While linen has a tendency to feel crisp and a little stiff until it has been washed several times, the Sijo LuxeWeave Linen Sheet Set is stonewashed during production to soften the flax fibers, meaning these sheets sleep very soft off the bat. We found the temperature neutrality of this set superb – light and breathable, yet still insulating enough for cooler weather. 

The Sijo LuxeWeave Linen Sheet Set is a great example of the versatility, comfort, and durability offered by high-quality linen bedding. As with most linen, the sheet set is easy to care for. While the color selection is limited, there are enough options to coordinate with most bedrooms.  Sijo offers free shipping in the U.S. on orders over $100 and a 30-day sleep trial.

Hot sleepers noted that the Quince European Linen Sheet Set offered very good temperature control and a strong moisture-wicking ability. Best of all, the price-point is lower than most quality linen sheet sets. Quince is a direct-to-consumer bedding company that aims to offer high-quality, ethically made products that won’t break the bank. Made from European flax, the mid-weight Quince European Linen Sheet Set delivers the breathability, durability, and crisp texture sleepers expect from linen without the luxury price-point.

The Quince European Linen Sheet Set comes prewashed, which means it feels softer out of the box than unwashed linen sheets. However, linen softens over time as the fibers break in, so it may take several wash cycles before the sheets reach their maximum softness. Made from 100% European flax, this sheet set is mid-weight, which makes it relatively versatile for different seasons. That said, heavy-weight linen would still provide more insulation for especially cold temperatures. Our testers noted that the sheets controlled temperature well and wicked away moisture, making them a good choice for hot sleepers.

Thanks to the brand’s direct-to-consumer model, the Quince European Linen Sheet Set boasts the qualities of premium linen sheets at a budget-friendly price-point. This set comes in 19 different color and design options that allow for easy coordination with bedroom decor. The 16-inch pocket will fit virtually all high-profile mattresses. Quince offers free shipping, but does not deliver outside the U.S. The brand’s products are only available through the company’s website. The Quince European Linen Sheet Set comes with a 365-day sleep trial.

Constructed of mid-weight linen and woven from 100% European flax, we found that the Cultiver Linen Sheets set is suitable for use year round. A high-quality weave ensures that these sheets will have a long life, easily worthy of their price-point. Cultiver is an Australian company known for their linen bedding products. While linen usually feels crisp at first, the Cultiver Linen Sheets feature a more delicate texture without sacrificing the advantages of high-end linen, like durability and temperature regulation.

Cultiver Linen Sheets are lightweight and breathable, and feel softer than many linen sheet sets we’ve tested. That said, they still become softer with use and washing. At 165 grams per square meter, the linen is slightly heavier than the average mid-weight linen sheets, making them suitable for year-round use in many climates. Our testers found that the sheets excelled at temperature regulation and wicking away moisture, making the Cultiver Linen Sheets a good choice for hot sleepers or those in warm or humid climates.

The biggest selling point for the Cultiver Linen Sheets is the sumptuous feel of their 100% European flax-derived linen. Those looking for a high-end linen sheet set without the stiffness that the material is known for won’t be disappointed. The 16-inch pocket will fit most mattresses and the company offers a generous number of color and design options. Cultiver offers free shipping in the U.S. and a 30-day return policy for damaged products. It does not offer an additional warranty or sleep trial.

The Saatva Linen Sheet Set wick moisture and diffuse heat in the summer, but are still heavy enough to insulate in cold weather. They are also extremely soft, but still retain enough texture to give them the rustic feel that linen is known for. The Saatva Linen Sheet Set delivers the high-end quality consumers expect from the Saatva and feels surprisingly sumptuous for linen. Beyond the sheet set’s comfortable texture, they excel in temperature control and durability. The colors will last thanks to Saatva’s yarn dyeing process, but color choices are limited.

Our testers found that the Saatva Linen Sheet Set offered a silky feel, a quality not often associated with linen. The linen used for this set is constructed from 100% Belgian flax and comes prewashed, so the sheets are exceptionally soft the first time you use them. While the Saatva Linen Sheet Set has more texture than smooth cotton or bamboo-derived rayon sheets, this set is a great pick for sleepers who want the benefits of linen with a milder texture. The set’s excellent breathability and moisture wicking make the sheets great for hot sleepers, but the linen is heavy enough to keep sleepers warm during cool winter nights.

The Saatva Linen Sheet Set wraps all the perks of linen into a bedding set that may be soft enough to win over linen skeptics. Care is easy with a standard washer and dryer, and the durable linen from Belgian flax should last much longer than other materials. Its 16-inch pocket depth will fit most mattresses.  Saatva offers a one-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects and a 45-day sleep trial.

The linen drapes gently over the body with an airy touch, perfect for hot sleepers or those with sensitive skin. Linen sheets are designed to soften with use as the fibers break in, but the Citizenry Stonewashed Linen Sheets are prewashed against abrasive surfaces in order to give you a head start on this process. The result is a linen sheet set that feels extra soft and broken-in the day you start using it.

The Citizenry Stonewashed Linen Sheets feel extra lightweight and breathable, making them a great choice for hot sleepers or those with sensitive skin. At 160 grams per square meter, they’re made with a mid-weight linen, which means they perform decently in cold weather too.  Those who savor the crisp feel of brand new linen may be disappointed by the bedding’s  softness, but for sleepers who don’t want to wait through multiple wash cycles for their linen sheets to soften, the Citizenry Stonewashed Linen Sheets were among the softest linen sheets we’ve ever tested.

Available in a number of colors and patterns, the Citizenry Stonewashed Linen sheets offer every advantage of high-quality linen with a softness that’s nearly unrivaled by the competition. The French flax used in this set’s construction is sustainably sourced, and the linen is woven in a historic, family-run mill in Portugal, making these an excellent option for eco-conscious consumers. The 15-inch pocket should fit all but the highest profile mattresses. Quality construction and linen’s natural durability makes it likely that these will last a long time. The Citizenry offers a 30-day return window if the product is unused in its original packaging.

Our hot and cool sleepers alike found that the breathable linen adapted extremely well to their needs and the surrounding climate. The Parachute Linen Sheet Set performed well in all major categories with our testers, but its temperature regulation made it really stand out. While the sheets have a light, airy feel that’s great for hot sleepers, the material also insulates well in cold weather.

While they aren’t as immediately soft as some linen sheets, the Parachute Linen Sheet Set comes prewashed, so the fabric still feels pleasant against the skin and not overly stiff. The linen softens over time with use as the fabric breaks down. The sheets feel light and breathable, which hot sleepers on our team found comfortable. At the same time, they offer a high level of insulation for when temperatures drop. 

Made from European Flax and manufactured in Portugal, the Parachute Linen Sheet Set offers an excellent all-around option for those in the market for a high-end set of linen bed sheets. Their excellent temperature regulation makes them a good option for sleepers in climates with widely varying temperatures. The set includes Parachute’s envelope style pillow cases, which prevents the covers from slipping off at night. The set is available in a range of colors, and Parachute offers a 60-day sleep trial.
