The average person will sleep for over 229,961 hours in their lifetime, which is about a third of your life. We spend so much time in bed that investing in mattresses and comfortable pillows has become important, but how come we aren’t looking for the best possible sheets to dress our duvets with? Good sheets absolutely do make a difference in how you sleep every night. The material you choose doesn't just impact the quality of your sleep, it can also affect your allergies, skin, and body temperature. 

Beyond its look and feel, linen is temperature-regulating, anti-static, anti-bacterial and acts as a natural insulator. This means it has temperature-regulating qualities, and keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter, without causing you to overheat. Also, linen also "won't retain moisture" the way that cotton does, and can actually help to keep you warmer in the cooler months. The sheets seem to regulate your body temperature, so fluctuations that would normally wake you up don't. According to the National Sleep Foundation, your body temperature is "a key part of what regulates the circadian rhythm that determines when your body is ready to go to sleep and when it's ready to wake up." The linen sheets keep you comfortable and asleep throughout the whole night. This may seem like not such a big deal to some, but having the guarantee of a good night’s sleep almost every night is definitely worth the expense to me in my book.

If you're looking to get a feel for linen without breaking the bank, Parachute's linen sheet set is the way to go. You get a queen-size fitted sheet and two standard pillowcases for $169. In addition to affordability, Parachute is one of the most popular options when it comes to transforming your sleep. Parachute sheets are made from 100 percent European flax, are dyed in small batches to retain individuality, and work well for both warm and cool sleepers. I know I'm one of a great many people who love sleeping, but honestly, my real obsession is bedding. I have a constant goal to create the coziest bed you have ever seen and could hope to snooze in. I judge hotels on their beds alone. The fact that I have been committed to one brand of sheets for the last five years or so should tell you that I did my research.
