Why choose a linen duvet cover?

Comfort, practicality, and elegance are key criteria when it comes to choosing your bed linen. Whether you wish to decorate your own bedroom or a guest room, linen is a first-rate fabric for enjoying restful nights . More environmentally friendly than cotton duvet covers, our designs are hand-sewn in France . This traditional process gives them impeccable quality and a longer lifespan. Easy to care for , linen offers an unrivalled feel… You will enjoy wrapping yourself comfortably in your duvet cover every evening. All Embrin duvet covers also carry the OEKO-TEX® label : this means that no substances known to be harmful to health have been used in their making. Did you know that linen is naturally thermoregulating ? During cold winter nights, it helps to keep your body warm. Conversely, it has a cooling effect during hot summer spells. You will therefore feel perfectly comfortable in your bed, without waking up in the middle of the night. Furthermore, washed linen is still relatively rare among bed linen ranges. With an Embrin duvet cover, you can easily add a touch of originality to your bedroom . Its crumpled look stands out and is a reminder of ancestral craftsmanship , to which we are particularly attached.

Are linen duvet covers anti-dust mite and anti-bacterial?

Here is another lesser-known virtue of linen: this remarkable fabric has antibacterial properties . The very structure of the plant prevents dust mites and other bacteria from clinging to it. Thanks to its quick drying after machine washing, the risk of bacteria settling on your duvet cover is greatly reduced. This is reassuring for anyone who suffers from allergies on a daily basis.

What size linen duvet cover should I choose?

It can sometimes be confusing to navigate the different duvet cover sizes … To be sure you make the right choice, simply remember that the size of the duvet cover matches the size of your duvet. Embrin offers 5 sizes for all its models: 140 x 200 cm, 200 x 200 cm, 240 x 220 cm, 260 x 240 cm and 280 x 240 cm . A single bed measuring 90 x 190 cm corresponds to a 140 x 200 cm cover. A single bed measuring 120 x 190 or 200 cm requires a 200 x 200 cm cover. If you have a double bed measuring 140 x 190 or 200 cm at home, choose a 200 x 200 cm duvet cover for a shorter drop, or 240 x 220 cm for a longer drop. If your bed is a “queen size” model (160 x 200 cm) , choose a duvet cover of 240 x 220 cm or 260 x 240 cm. Finally, for larger beds known as “king size” (180 or 200 x 200 cm), we recommend a 260 x 240 cm cover for a shorter drop, or 280 x 240 cm for a longer drop.

Is a linen duvet cover environmentally friendly?

Yes, and we are particularly proud of it! Embrin duvet covers are made from linen, a plant that requires very little water.

Our partner Terre de Lin also uses a mechanical harvesting technique , without any chemicals. In a zero-waste approach, every part of the plant is used. That’s not all: once the fabric arrives at the Embrin workshops, it is entrusted to our seamstresses to create unique duvet covers, hand-sewn . What’s more, our linen duvet covers are particularly hard-wearing. You can therefore keep them for a very long time , avoiding repeated purchases.

Where are Embrin linen duvet covers made?

All our washed linen duvet covers are designed in the workshop at the Embrin family farm . In the heart of Seine-Maritime , our seamstresses work with dedication, surrounded by fields of Normandy flax. The linen we use for our duvet covers is traditionally grown in Normandy . Our local partner, Terre de Lin , then takes over, harvesting it with respect for the environment. The spinning stage takes place in Europe, as there are currently no linen spinning mills in France. Once transformed, the linen returns to our workshops to be sewn to order . Each Embrin duvet cover is unique, ensuring a high-quality French product .
