<\/span><\/h3>\nLet’s go ahead, and take a closer look at what exactly these sheets are made of.<\/p>\n
Every piece of bedding in this bundle is made from 100 percent pure linen, which is one of the world’s oldest and most beloved textiles.<\/p>\n
When I say old, I mean thousands of years old.<\/p>\n
Why is linen still a fan favorite after all this time?<\/p>\n
It’s extremely durable, it’s one of the most breathable fabrics on the market, and it’s
\ngot a reputation for only getting softer as time goes on.<\/p>\n
Linen is derived from natural flax fibers, which is a sustainably-sourced material.<\/p>\n
Brooklinen sources its flax from Belgium and France, which are considered by many to offer some of the highest quality flax in the world.<\/p>\n
Because flax fibers are thicker and tend to produce a stiffer yarn, as compared to cotton, for example, it does produce this distinctly coarse texture that some linen lovers are big fans of, but a lot of sleepers find to be almost a little too itchy and coarse.<\/p>\n
To remedy this, the folks at Brooklinen individually pre-wash each piece of linen bedding to bring down that coarseness a little bit and boost the softness.<\/p>\n
I have to say, I am not always super fond of linen bedding because of that coarse factor, but this is feeling super soft and smooth to the touch.<\/p>\n
Another thing, linen is famous for its breathability. Because of that, it’s often a go-to fabric for the summertime.<\/p>\n
It’s worth noting that linen is thermo-regulating, which means it adapts to your body’s temperature, so it is going to help dissipate your body heat in the summer.<\/p>\n
It also serves as a great insulator in the wintertime. Because of that, linen is great for year-round use.<\/p>\n

<\/span>What You Get?<\/span><\/h3>\nWhat does each Hardcore Bundle actually come with?<\/p>\n
It comes with a lot.<\/p>\n
You’re getting a full sheet set, which means a fitted sheet, which comes with labeled sides, so you know which side is the long side and which side is the short side, which is a personal favorite feature of mine.<\/p>\n
Then you get a top sheet, two pillowcases. Then you get an additional two pillowcases and a duvet cover.<\/p>\n
The duvet cover has got these button closures on the bottom there, which I think are pretty cute.<\/p>\n
The pillowcases have envelope closures, which is a personal favorite of mine because I think that when you’ve got that extra flap of fabric keeping your pillow tightly tucked away, it makes for an overall neater aesthetic.<\/p>\n
Now you know exactly what this bedding is made of.<\/p>\n
