I’m sure we can all relate to the frustration of being too warm at night and losing valuable sleep as a result. You kick off the duvet and sheet and search for a cooling patch of bed to fight the heat of the night. Whether you’re a hot sleeper or not, this can affect us all at some point.

The secret is to choose a bed sheet with natural properties that promote moisture wicking and don’t hold the heat. There is a reason why we hear about moisture wicking material when it comes to active wear, it keeps you cool! So it’s a good starting point to look for those properties in bedding too.

Sleeping on a breathable material can make the biggest difference which is why we recommend Linen sheets for the summer months. Linen is a natural fibre that is made from flax plants. It is strong, durable and light which is absorbent and fast drying. It has been around a very long time and has been proved popular for summer garments to combat hot and humid weather, so naturally it makes a fantastic fibre for summer bedding.

Baksana's luxurious 100% European Latvian linen sheet sets are exclusively made from the finest quality linen in Europe. The top quality and eco-friendly linen sheets are pre-shrunk and stonewashed, and radiate a beautifully soft and silky finish that is not easily crushed. In processing we remove the slubs, so you don’t get those rough patches that can cause irritation, to ensure the smoothest possible finish for curling up with at night. Available in a range of fashion colours it is the perfect way to add some colour to your bed, as well as creating an effortless chic look. Cared for in the correct way, Linen sheets can serve you for hundreds of washes.

If you are a fan of cotton then definitely go for a percale weave. Made from high quality cotton with a high thread count, a percale sheet can be cooling, durable and extremely breathable. Its breathability also lends to keep you warmer in the cooler months too so they are an all year round star. A percale sheet has a matte finish which is crisp and cool to touch and will soften with each wash so you will only grow more and more comfortable in these sheets. When purchasing a cotton sheet set, the higher the thread-count (TC), the more luxurious it will feel and longer it will last.

Baksana is well known for its top quality sheets. We offer two options in a percale weave:
