Linen's Allergy-Friendliness Examined
For individuals with chemical sensitivities or allergies, finding the right bedding can be a challenge. However, The Modern's OEKO-TEX® certified linen bedding offers a safe and comfortable solution.
The OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Class 1 certification ensures that the linen used in The Modern's bedding is free from harmful substances throughout its production stages. This guarantees a chemical-free assurance for sensitive users, providing peace of mind.
Linen's natural properties make it an ideal choice for those with sensitive skin and allergy sufferers. Its hypoallergenic qualities resist dust mites and microbial growth, reducing common triggers for allergies and sensitivities. Moreover, linen's breathability and moisture control help regulate temperature and wick away moisture, which reduces bacterial growth and skin irritation.
The breathability of linen fibres also makes it eco-friendly and non-toxic. Since OEKO-TEX certified linen is often made from organic flax without pesticides or chemicals, it minimises exposure to environmental toxins that could exacerbate sensitivities.
In addition to its health benefits, linen bedding is also durable and long-lasting. With each wash, linen gets softer and doesn't pill, making it a sensible choice for regular washing. The Modern's duvet covers are simple and traditional fabrics that can stand up to regular washing.
It's important to note that cotton and synthetic bedding on the market today can contain chemicals that cause reactions, sensitivities, and allergies. In contrast, a linen duvet cover is a sensible option compared to an uncovered comforter, which offers a prime breeding ground for dust mites. Using a duvet and duvet cover can keep dust mites at bay, especially when you wash your duvet cover as often as your sheets.
Linen's natural anti-bacterial and pathogen-resistant properties also contribute to its suitability for allergy sufferers. Linen was even used for bandages by ancient Egyptians due to its skin-friendly qualities.
