We’re comparing Flax Home’s linen sheet set against Canadian-owned and operated Skylark+Owl’s Linen Sheets.

Sleep is a crucial part of everyone’s daily routine, so we want to bring you bedding crafted through traditional techniques and 100% natural fibres. For 75 years, we take the time to create comforts in small batches directly from experts in textile regions around the world. Skylark+Owl comforts are made to meet environmental and ethical standards and are recognized by organizations like Oeko-Tex®, Global Organic Textile Standard, and Fair Trade Certified™.

Globally sourced comfort comes down to excellence at every level, which is why we source our flax linen from the world-renowned Guimarães region in northern Portugal. The region is widely known for its craftsmanship and long generational history of coziness, and the family-run businesses we work with have years of experience behind them.

Figuring out the GSM (also known as ‘Grams per Square Meter’) will tell you the weight in how many grams are in one square metre. ​​Jeans, for example, would have a 500 GSM, whereas Skylark+Owl’s flax linen is around 150 GSM. The lower the GSM, the lighter the weight.

Light and breathable linen sheets are the types of bed sheets you’ll want for a relaxed finish that’s remarkably cooling and perfectly crinkled. Our flax linen sheets are garment-washed to feel soft to the touch the very first night and get even softer with use! Linen sheets are a great choice for those who sleep hot year-round and are a perfect pick for warmer climates.

Free shipping is available to customers in Canada and the United States. Shipping isn't only free, but our packaging and shipping happen directly from our warehouse, which allows us to provide a quick turnaround on all orders. Skylark+Owl stands by their bedding with a flexible 30-night sleep guarantee policy if you're unhappy with an order.

Fewer pesticides, energy, and irrigation are needed when growing flax. It's more environmentally friendly than growing other fibres, such as cotton. Flax uses 1/5 of the fertilizers and pesticides that cotton requires. Flax is also perfect for those who suffer from allergies, as it's naturally anti-bacterial and hypoallergenic. It's the best thing for you to lay on for multiple hours without worrying if it'll irritate your skin. You can sleep easy knowing that your cool and breezy linen sheets are also Oeko-Tex certified, which means no harmful substances were used in the manufacturing process.
