White Linen Bed Linen

White is not just white — shades at a glance

Brilliant white (optically brightened): Classic, clean, hotel-grade. Libeco Heritage White and Hoffmann’s damask line. Reflects light, makes rooms appear larger.
Cream white (warm): Softer, warmer, less sterile. Geniksa works frequently with this tone — fits rooms with wood furniture and earth tones.
Natural white (unbleached): The most authentic — a light grey-beige showing the natural flax colour. Not chemically brightened, most sustainable. Varies slightly by harvest — each set unique.

The care advantage of white

White linen tolerates 95 °C — kills dust mites, bacteria and germs without chemicals. White linen is undyed, so it contains no textile dyes that could irritate sensitive skin. Unlike cotton, linen does not yellow over time when properly cared for.
Coloured linen bed linen washes at 40 °C, dark colours at 30 °C. Care at Care & Durability.

The care benefits of white

White linen has a practical advantage over all other colours: it can withstand washing temperatures of up to 95 °C. This reliably kills dust mites, bacteria and germs — without the need for disinfectants or special detergents.

This is important for allergy sufferers: white linen bed linen is undyed, so it contains no textile dyes that could cause further irritation. Combined with the dense weave, which makes it difficult for fine dust and pollen to penetrate, this creates a sleeping environment that contains fewer potential triggers than coloured alternatives.

Coloured linen bedding should be washed at a maximum of 60°C — this is also sufficiently hygienic, but the difference compared to 95°C can make all the difference for those with severe allergies. You can find detailed care tips under Care & Durability.
