How Linen Bedding Helps Allergy Suffers Get a Good Night's Sleep 

Linen made from the European flax plant is one of the world’s oldest fabrics. Humans have been growing and turning Flax into natural woven fabrics for thousands of year. In many regions of the world, people have been passing pieces of fabric down the generations because of its renowned softening-with-time quality

Linen comes from one of the purest, pathogen-resistant cellulose based fibers in the world. This is primarily because of its distinctive moisture-retention properties of the Flax plant. Linen fabric can absorb up to 20% dampness without getting wet. This prevents bacterial growth and makes linen bedding healthier and more long-lasting than other options.

The Flax plant is naturally hypoallergenic, making linen anti-allergen as well. Historically, linen is the only natural skin-friendly fiber which is why it is commonly used in hospitals as bandages. You can trace this all the way back to the Egyptians.

Allergies cause all sorts of uncomfortable symptoms, which prevent suffers from a sound night's sleep. Itching, sneezing, coughing and a runny nose are just a few of the problems you might encounter while trying to sleep during allergy season.

Dander, pet hair, tiny dust mites, and seasonal pollen are all contributing factors to sleep deprivation caused by allergies. Lunescape offers a fine selection of fine and luxury European linen bedding and textiles to help ease your suffering at night and to help prevent allergy-related sleep issues.

The cultivation of flax and its conversion into linen is incredibly environmentally friendly. Although it is laborious and time-consuming, and requires a very specific type of micro climate to grow long fiber flax, farmers minimize the use of pesticides, fertilizers and the amount of water as compared to the irrigation processes of other plants.

Why Long Staple Cotton is Better For Your Bed

Long staple cotton is derived from the Gossypium barbadense species of cotton, which yields cotton with unusually long, silky fibers. Because the longer the cotton fiber, the stronger, softer, and more durable the resulting fabric. Fabrics made of long-staple cottons fray less, pill less, wrinkle less, and even fade less than fabrics made with their short-staple counterparts.

Short fibers mean a less durable, weaker, coarser fabric, with more exposed ends. A longer staple means the fibers are longer and stronger, and so can be spun into long, very fine yarns that produce a smoother, softer feeling fabric that you can enjoy for many years.
