Why do we use European Flax Linen?

We care about your comfort and sleep here at Jade and May, but sustainability and being kind to the earth is equally as important to us. 

We are far from perfect, but we do attempt to choose fabrics and processes that leaves the least impact on our environment as possible whilst producing a high quality and beautiful linen sleepwear that you will love to wear for many years to come.

For this reason, linen features heavily in our range of sleepwear here at Jade and May.  

Linen is produced from the flax plant, and the benefits of using the product of the flax plant rather than a man-made fabric are huge.

The flax requires less water to grow than other natural fibres, there is very little waste from the Flax plant, fewer pesticides required during the growing process - and best of all it is highly durable so you will wear it for many years to come! 

But the benefits don't end there..   linen is a breathable fabric that can wick away moisture allowing you to stay fresh and cool in summer yet will regulate your temperature to keep you warm in winter - meaning you can wear your sleepwear all year around.  No need to purchase different sleepwear for different seasons anymore.  

Antibacterial in nature, linen is a luxurious and highly durable fabric that naturally does not allow germs to breed meaning your linens can be washed less often and will not only last you many years to come but will even become better with age, softening and becoming more pliable to your touch.   

Our linen sleepwear will last you for many seasons but when you are eventually finished with your garment, remove any labels and cut into smaller pieces and throw it into your compost! It will break down naturally in a matter of weeks without releasing any chemicals into our environment.  

Comfort does not need to cost the earth.
