- GSM (grams per square metre) is the standard quality measure for linen — 170-200 GSM is standard, 200+ is premium
- OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and GOTS certifications indicate chemical safety and organic sourcing

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is the best linen bedding brand?**
Top-rated brands include Cultiver (Australia, widely available), Libeco (Belgium, heritage luxury), and Piglet in Bed (UK, great value). The "best" depends on budget, aesthetic preference, and location.

**Where can I buy linen sheets in Canada?**
Canadian options include Silk and Snow (ships from Canada), QE Home (Quilts Etc), and international brands like Cultiver and Piglet in Bed that ship to Canada.

**What is French linen vs Belgian linen?**
Both are made from European flax. French linen (primarily from Normandy) tends to have a slightly finer, softer hand. Belgian linen has a long heritage and is associated with luxury quality. Lithuanian linen is often excellent quality at more accessible price points.

**How do you wash linen sheets?**
Wash in cold or warm water (30°C/86°F max) on a gentle cycle. Use mild detergent without bleach. Tumble dry on low or line dry. Linen softens and improves with each wash.

**Is linen good for hot sleepers?**
Yes. Linen is one of the best fabrics for hot sleepers because it's highly breathable, moisture-wicking, and thermoregulating — it keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter.

**How long does linen bedding last?**
With proper care, quality linen bedding can last 15-20 years or more. It actually gets better with age and use.
