Frequently Asked Questions

All Linen Wave bedding is made from 100% natural linen — pure natural linen, and no shortcuts. Our linen is Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certified, meaning it's been independently tested and certified free of harmful chemicals and dyes. It's safe for even the most sensitive skin.

Stone-washing is a finishing process where the woven linen fabric is tumbled in large drums with smooth river stones. This breaks down the surface fibres, giving the fabric a softer, more supple feel from day one — without having to wait through multiple washes. It also creates that beautifully relaxed, lived-in texture that linen is loved for.

Yes. Linen is naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial, making it an excellent choice for people with sensitive skin, eczema, or allergies. Our linen is also Oeko-Tex® certified free of harmful substances. Many customers who previously reacted to synthetic bedding find linen to be a revelation.

All products are available in six natural colors: Charcoal, Gray, Blue, Pink, Ivory, and White. Every color in the range coordinates with the others, so you can mix and match pieces across sets for a layered, styled look.

Linen is one of the world's most sustainable textiles. Flax requires no irrigation (it grows on rainfall alone), uses no pesticides, and every part of the flax plant is used — nothing is wasted. It's also fully biodegradable at end of life. Compared to cotton, linen uses far fewer resources to produce, and its durability means it needs replacing far less often.

Note: dimensions are pre-wash. Expect 3–5% shrinkage after the first wash. Our sizing accounts for this.

Yes, linen typically shrinks 3–5% in the first wash — this is normal for natural linen. Our products are sized to account for this shrinkage, so they will fit correctly after washing. After the first wash, shrinkage is minimal. Always wash in cold water (30°C) to minimize further shrinkage.

Yes. Our fitted sheets have an all-around elasticated hem and a 16" pocket depth, which accommodates most standard mattresses including those with pillow-tops or memory foam toppers. If your mattress exceeds 16", please contact us and we can advise the best option.
