White Linen Fitted Sheet

A white linen fitted sheet in 170 GSM European linen, cut and sewn in our workshop near Riga.

Construction

Elasticated all the way around for a snug fit. Deep-pocket cut — see the size selector for the depth that matches your mattress. Reinforced corner seams.

The fabric

170 GSM European linen, medium weight. Cool in summer, warm in winter, naturally breathable. The flax is European; the cut and sew is Latvian.

Care

Wash before first use — cold water, delicate cycle. The sheet is cut 3–5% oversized to absorb the natural shrinkage of linen; it settles to nominal size after 1–2 cold washes. For ongoing care, machine wash at 40 °C (104 °F) on a delicate cycle. Tumble dry low. Oxygen bleach is safe for white linen; do not use chlorine bleach. Ironing is not necessary; linen carries a soft crease naturally.

Certification and origin

OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified — the fabric and thread are tested for substances that affect skin and lungs. The linen is European; the cut and sew is Latvian. No subcontracting.

Common questions

Should I wash this before first use?
Yes. New linen should always be washed before first use — cold water, delicate cycle. The sheet ships oversized and settles to nominal size after 1–2 cold washes.

Does linen shrink?
Yes — natural fibers shrink. Expect 3–5%. This sheet is cut oversized to absorb that, so the final fit matches the size you ordered.

Does white linen yellow over time?
Not with normal care. White linen yellows when stored damp or when bleached with chlorine. Wash, dry fully, store dry. Oxygen bleach is safe for occasional brightening.

Will it fit my mattress?
Deep-pocket cut accommodates most modern mattresses. Check the size selector for the exact depth — match the depth to your mattress, not just the length and width.
