It’s official: green linen bedding is the trend of the summer. While this idea isn’t entirely new, it brings together two things we already love: the lightweight breeziness of linen and the grounded, earthy quality of green.
‘Summertime always calls for lighting up, in palette and fabrication,’ says Amy Hoban, Chief Creative Officer of California-cool home brand Parachute. While creams and seafoam blues have had their time, green bedding sets are currently stealing the spotlight. ‘Greens are still going strong in the interiors world, and that includes the bed,’ Amy explains, adding that they ‘always feel like a breath of fresh air in the warmer months.’ Kelly Hannon, Chief Merchandising Officer at Brooklinen, agrees, noting that ‘we're definitely seeing an influx of all shades of green, particularly those inspired by nature.’ The Brooklyn-based bedding brand is ‘leaning into the green moment with new releases like Fresh Moss and Botanical Green’ — a relaxing shift from the electric varieties of recent years.
But why linen? Offering solace on the most scorching August nights, ‘Linen is light and airy while being naturally breathable and antimicrobial,’ notes Amy. Its unique moisture-wicking properties feel ‘even cooler than cotton,’ adds Kelly — a summer-friendly characteristic that aligns perfectly with the soothing coolness of green. Essentially, green + linen = a match made in heaven.
Green linen bedding might be trending right now, but it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. Timeless, practical, and perfect for summertime relaxation, it’s more than a trend — it’s an essential. Here are my 12 picks of the best bedding sets that all but guarantee you’ll turn green with envy, unless you feel the breeze for yourself.
Green Linen Bedding
Green Linen Flat Sheets
Price: $139
I can't get enough of this lush pine green striped bedding from Piglet in Bed. Inspired by vintage deck chairs, it adds a touch of old-timey elegance to your daily routine. Not only does it look luxurious, but it also feels that way, made in Portugal from 100% European flax. Pair it with all-white bedding for an unexpected yet timeless pattern that’s anything but basic.
Price: $140
Bed Threads has nailed the oversized flat sheet look, letting it graze the floor with effortless elegance. It’s pre-washed and super-soft, pairing well with other linen bedding. But let’s be honest, in the throes of summer, this will likely be your go-to cover on its own.
Price: $130
I opted for Parachute’s top sheet in moss, a classic color that offers an earthy, muted tone. It pairs beautifully with taupe, navy, brown, or charcoal — basically any neutral on the darker side. If you act fast, you can snag it in the seasonal green shade evergreen, which is as forestry and enchanting as it sounds.
Green Linen Fitted Sheets
Price: $140
French flax has never looked more relaxing than in this soothing sage. It’s the perfect base for sweet dreams, tying in other green bedding or standing as a solo showstopper. At $140 for a fitted sheet, it’s not the cheapest option, but with a stellar 4.9/5 star rating over 210 reviews, it’s worth every penny.
Price: $75.99
I was thrilled to find such a luxe option on Amazon. It's from Simple&Opulence, which perfectly describes this sheet. Made from cozy, cool linen that gets softer with each wash, it’s super stretchy, fitting over a mattress up to 14 inches — about 4 inches taller than most — allowing room for a plush topper if you wish.
Price: $139
Stonewashed linen makes for the perfect worn-in look in these sage sheets. I love the tranquility they offer a bedroom, but for a deeper, more sophisticated look, go for olive, which pairs nicely with brown and beige. They are made in Portugal’s oldest family-run textile mill by the Machado family, who have been crafting fine linens for 100 years. Storied, thoughtful, and according to glowing reviews: dreamy.
Green Linen Pillowcases
Price: $79
Adding another pattern to the mix to spice things up a bit. I fell head over heels for this botanical gingham that screams summer cottage vibes. Picture it in a room filled with books and greenery, perfect for a lazy morning and maybe an Instagram photoshoot. Pairs best with softer, barely-there green solids, and unlike most other pillowcase options, it's available in a square shape.
Price: $118
One of my top five most annoying experiences is when my pillow gets too hot. I end up tossing and turning, which doesn’t make for great beauty sleep. This linen adapts to your body temperature, keeping you cool on warm nights with its French-grown flax. It's sustainable and certified organic, so you can rest easy knowing their backstory is just as pleasant as the sheets.
Price: $42
Is this not the richest shade of olive ever? With yellow undertones, it offers a sunshiny warmth that's irresistible. Handmade from start to finish, down to the envelope detail on its side. Let this shade be the star of the show on a plain white duvet. And if olive isn't your thing, this style is also available in forest and matcha green.
Green Linen Duvets
Price: $419
Rapper Tyler, the Creator’s luxury brand le FLEUR* teamed up with Parachute on a collection of playful pastels. This duvet/sham set in Jade is my top pick — vibrant and soothing all at once. It pairs beautifully with creams or, for a bolder look, pink and terracotta. According to the product description, this linen is the 'softest you'll ever touch.' Having experienced Parachute's linen in person, I can vouch for that. Pre-washed for a lived-in feel right from the start, this set is a must-have.
Price: $149.90
The contrast flanged edge in a soft sand shade adds a whisper of dimension for a luxe effect. The green, aptly called aloe, is a soothing shade that pairs with everything from periwinkle to cream. 'The color is amazing and the quality is above and beyond my expectations,' raves one reviewer. Given the rest of the linen duvets I've seen on the market, this is a fantastic deal.
Price: $271.15
Was: $319
This Brooklinen duvet breaks up the green with periwinkle, beige, and cream in complementary stripes. It’s a departure from the rest of the picks on this list, but it offers just the right touch of green for that cool factor. Pair with solid green linen sheets to enhance the green tones in this super summery design. Currently on sale, so snap it up now if you’re interested.
How often should I wash linen bedding?
With the hot, muggy air of summer, linen bedding can quickly lose its freshness. As Kelly Hannon from Brooklinen explains, ‘you may find you need to wash your sheets or switch sets more often.’ Ideally, linen sheets should be washed every two weeks, ‘alternating between two different sets to increase longevity.’ However, everyone's needs are different, so if you find yourself craving extra freshness, feel free to wash more frequently.
How should I wash linen bedding?
According to Amy Hoban, linen bedding is machine washable in cold water. She recommends keeping it simple by drying on a low temperature as well. It's all fairly self-explanatory, but there’s a pro tip: ‘If you take your linens out of the dryer just before they are finished drying and put them directly onto the bed, you can smooth out any unwanted wrinkles with your hands.’ That way, your bedding looks perfect and is ready to go right away.
