The one that matters

30 nights, washed or not

You cannot judge bedding in a shop, and you cannot judge linen without washing it. So sleep in it for a month. If it is not right, send it back for a full refund even though it has been used and laundered — that is the whole point of the offer.

How the trial works

Five categories

Bedroom, bathroom, table. Nothing decorative that does not also get used.

All 26 pieces

What ends up in most baskets

Bedding first, then a mug. It is the same order almost every time.

It creases, and we are not going to pretend otherwise

Linen is the one material people return most, and almost always for a reason the product page already told them about.

It creases within an hour of being made. It softens for about two years and then stops. Dark shades show lint. The flax is grown in France and Belgium and spun and woven in Lithuania, and we wash every piece twice before it ships so it arrives soft rather than needing a season to get there.

If a crease would bother you every morning, buy the brushed cotton or the percale instead. Both are in the range for exactly that reason, and we would rather sell you the right one once.

Honestly, the drawbacks

Linen creases permanently in a wash unless you shake it out damp. Olive oil does not come out of a linen tablecloth. Dark linen picks up lint from wool. All three are true of every linen, ours included.

Fabric & ceramic care

Newest first

We add a few pieces a year rather than a collection a season.

“I ordered the oat linen expecting to send it back after the trial, and kept it. Three years on it is softer and the colour has not moved. The mugs were the second order.”
