Linen
Good Studios
Good Studios handmakes its 100% hemp linen bedding locally and lovingly. The hemp fabric is naturally thermoregulating, keeping you cool in summer and warm in winter, it has antibacterial properties, meaning you won’t have to wash it as regularly, saving you both water, energy and time and it is a super durable natural fibre. The brand’s sheets and pillowcases come in both vibrant and neutral tones.
Bed Threads
The Bed Threads sheets may just be the most aesthetically pleasing bedding we’ve ever seen. Big call, I know. These stunning sheets and bedding essentials come in an array of colours and are all made from 100% flax linen. Flax linen is perfect for sleeping year-round as it keeps you cool in the heat and acts as an insulator in the cold. This natural fibre ages like fine wine, with every wash softening the fabric and making your sheets even dreamier. The signature Bed Threads flax is grown in France by registered farmers and suppliers and is ethically manufactured by a certified factory in China (see the Bed threads website for details). Producing flax linen also requires less water and fewer pesticides to cultivate than other alternatives.

You’ll be looking forward to your head hitting the pillow with the Dazed but Amazed line of pure linen pillow slips, fitted sheets, duvet covers, bed covers and throws, all in tonal hues. Made from natural flax sourced directly from France, these durable sheets will get better the more you love them, softening with every use and wash.

Added bonus: it also has a collection for the little ones in your life.
The Sheet Society Eve Linen Range
For pretty colours, cute patterns and all of the basics, The Sheet Society Eve Linen Range has you covered. Made from 100% pure, certified French flax linen, these super soft linen sheets are totally dreamy. These sheets are durable, eco-friendly, comfortable and easy to care for, plus the linen fibres wick moisture and dry out quickly making them naturally antibacterial. Linen also gets better with age so you won’t have to worry about replacing your sheets as often.
Hemp Gallery Australia
Founded by passionate environmentalists, it is no surprise that the Hemp Gallery has a focus on sustainability. Its hemp and GOTS-certified organic linen is soft from day one and will soften with every sleep (please note: a few of its cotton blends do not hold the GOTS certification, however the product descriptions clearly label this). These sheets, quilt covers and pillowcases are made in Australia and come in neutral tones to suit all bedrooms.
Bedtonic
The buttery soft texture of the Bedtonic sheets will have you drifting off to sleep in no time. The small selection is made from OEKO-TEX certified 100% pure soft washed linen and has a European Flax® Certification, meaning it certifies traceability and accountability for growers and traders to follow sustainable practices at every step of production. The Bedtonic products are made in small batches using the antique wash technique meaning non-toxic dyes to limit environmental waste.

This Australian brand’s bread and butter is – you might have guessed – pure French linen.

The brand has made a conscious choice to also include beautiful organic bamboo and crisp luxe cotton so you’ve got the choice to design your perfect bed. Shop for gingham, striped and plain linen sheets and bedding in muted and nature-inspired colours that’ll make your home feel warm all year round.
