Two Blankets Sleep System™ Linen Duvet Covers
Each of us are in pursuit of the best sleep we can manage, but it somehow seems so unreachable. For hundreds of years mankind has found linen to be a premium sleeping material and there are several reasons why. After reading this you will be convinced that you should be sleeping with linen too.
Brief History
Linen has been cultivated from the Flax plant and has been used since the dawn of civilization in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. It was a sign of wealth, purity, and status. Linen was even used as an Ancient form of currency as it had a stored inherent value.
Because linen is so breathable it was an obvious choice for clothing. Wounds would also be wrapped in linen to allow them to heal quicker. The dead in Egypt would also famously be wrapped in linens because of this perceived healing element.
How Linen is made and how it works
Linen is made using the flax plant, the fibers of which make it strong and durable. After harvesting the flower, the petals and seeds are removed and then the stems are dried. Next the stems are broken down and spun into flax fiber and then into thread which would finally be used to make the fabric. It is a lot of work, but it is worth it.
Top Five Reasons
5. Better Health - Surprisingly linen helps to prevent the growth of free-radicals. Linen is a natural antioxidant and is able to influence positive ionic charges to atoms around it at a molecular level. Wounds wrapped with linen are also shown to heal quicker than wounds wrapped in other materials like synthetic fibers.

4. Better Sleep - Sleep is more enjoyable and comfortable with linen because of it's natural properties. It works with your body and not against it allowing a more breathable state. It gets softer after every wash.
3. Thermoregulating and Moisture Wicking - Linen is naturally thermo-regulating in humid and in dry climates and naturally wicks moisture away from the skin.
2. Anti-Microbial and Odor Resistant - Because it is a breathable and healing material, microbes have a difficult time surviving on it's surface, which makes it odor resistant! No more smelly bedding!
1. Toxin Free - Since Linen is naturally woven from flax, it is a biodegradable and environmentally friendly fiber which will never leak toxins into your skin.
