If you’re looking for bed sheets in breathtaking colours, look no further than Sea Me. Made in the heart of Odesa, Ukraine, founders Natalya and Eteri set out to create the perfect bed sheets after not being able to find them. Their minimalist natural flax linen bedding comes in an array of beautiful solid colours — all reminiscent of the sea.

Linen sheets are ideal for all seasons, as the fabric naturally wicks sweat and heat from your body during the summer and holds in heat during the winter. Plus, linen is hypoallergenic and contains antibacterial and antifungal properties so it’s a material you can feel good about sleeping on. Sea Me’s bed sheets can be purchased piece by piece, allowing customers to choose a unique colour combination that suits their personal aesthetic.

Woven from a blend of GOTS-certified organic cotton and Tencel Lyocell, tuck’s Classic Sheet Set is lightweight, breathable and best of all, super-soft. The great thing about tuck bedding is not only their softness, but their durability — no matter how many times you wash them, they’ll look as good as the first day you purchased them. This female-founded bedding company is based in Toronto and one of their top priorities is sustainable manufacturing, so you can feel good about not only supporting a Canadian business but an ethical one, too.

Beloved Canadian brand Silk & Snow has recently expanded their bed sheet offering and now carries muslin bed sheets in a multitude of styles and colours. Muslin is a loosely woven cotton fabric that’s particularly ideal for summer months because it’s lighter than cotton, breathable and moisture-wicking. Despite how lightweight muslin is, it’s also ultra-soft, which makes it great for colder weather, too. Silk & Snow’s muslin bedding is made in Portugal, a country known for its quality craftsmanship, so you can be sure these pure cotton bed sheets and blankets will last for years to come.

If you’re on the hunt for the softest pure cotton bed sheets, you’ve come to the right place.

Because Takasa’s sheet sets are made with premium cotton, there’s a real difference in how they feel. They’re crisp, lightweight and oh-so-soft. The best part? They’ll continue to get softer with every wash.

Rough Linen’s signature Orkney Duvet Cover is made from the linen that put this bedding company on the map: the original ‘rough’ linen. Woven from 100 per cent European flax, you’ll instantly fall in love with the texture and weight of this duvet cover. It boasts no seams for a minimalist look and comes with either coconut buttons or invisible zippers, depending on the look you’re after. Plus, the colour softens with wear and washing, so it’ll only get better as it ages.

Tip: To ensure your duvet doesn’t shift in its cover, be sure to measure your duvet before ordering a cover. Duvet covers should fit snugly to ensure there’s no shifting — sometimes a king infill works best in a queen cover!
