Trending: Stonewashed 100% Linen Bedding

Weekend lie-ins just got a whole lot better. French, crumpled, stonewashed linens are undoubtedly having a moment, and frankly we're surprised it's taken this long.

Elegant, 100% linen bedding offers both comfort and style for your bedroom.

Stonewashed linens are probably thesoftest bedding that money can buy, and linens are naturally breathable, making it perfect for balmy summer evenings – as well as keeping you snug and toasty during winter.

We can't think of a better way to catch some zeds this season.

They are wonderfully low maintenance too; you can leave the iron in the cupboard as linen bedding sets are designed to look best when left to dry naturally.

We think thatslightly crumpled look only adds to the relaxed look. Well, that's what we're telling ourselves anyway.

Linen bedding even ticks the eco-friendly box. Needing less water to grow than other crops, it is made from the flax plant – a renewable source that is fully biodegradable.

There are patterned 100% linen options available too, like classic stripes.
