We sent our layers to two people who sleep hot. Here is what they said

I’m definitely one of those people who can go from ‘I’m freezing’ to ‘why is it so warm in here?’ in about five minutes. Anything that helps keep the bed feeling lighter and cooler gets my vote.

After spending all day training, the last thing I want is to climb into bed and feel like I’m still overheating. I’m all for anything that makes the bed feel a bit lighter and more breathable.

  • Highlights
  • Active lifestyle
  • Sleeping hot
  • Lightweight feel

Sleep under something that grew

Cotton and flax come out of a field, not a factory vat. No plastic, no chemical finish, just plant fibre woven open so your skin can breathe

Grown, not madeWoven open, breathesDries in fresh air

Before you decide

The things people ask us first

Is it cotton or satin?

Both, and they mean different things. Satin is the weave, cotton is the fibre. These are cotton woven in a sateen pattern, which is what gives the smooth face.

How long does delivery take?

Usually 5 to 8 days, and the date for your order is shown next to the Add to bag button. You get tracking the moment it ships, and delivery is free.

What if it is not right?

You have 30 days from delivery to send it back, used and washed is fine. Email us and we send the return details. Post it back, with the postage on you, and we refund the full price within 14 days of it reaching us.

How do I wash it?

Machine wash up to 60°C. Tumble dry low or line dry. No fabric softener, it coats the fibre and stops it breathing.
