Linen bedding is worth the splurge because of linen's amazing breathability, durability, and excellent moisture-wicking properties. It's also naturally hypoallergenic, antimicrobial, and anti-static. Linen is highly durable because of its longer and thicker threads. This means your linen bedding can last you for decades to come! Fans of linen sheets also love their relaxed, lived-in look.
