Brooklinen's new line of bedding completely solved one of my biggest sleep issues

The online bedding retailer is launching its first new fabric since its 2014 launch: Linen.

The breathable fabric arrives in time for the painfully hot and humid summer months ahead, and the company says it'll keep you cooler than other fabrics.

Making bedding "idiot-proof"

The new line of linen sheets and comforters from Brooklinen comes in three colors: Cream, stripe and cream, and white. The motivation behind Brooklinen's print and color choices is that they can be mixed and matched — the company wants setting up your bedroom to be easy, even if you don't exactly have great taste.

Brooklinen says the raw materials were harvested in Belgium and the fabric is woven, dyed, and stonewashed in Portugal.

It will wrinkle — a lot

While it sounds obvious, it's important to know that sleeping with linen bedding feels very different than regular sheets. If you're someone who likes high thread count sheets or something that feels soft and silky, the linen bedding won't feel anything like that. It's not rough, exactly, but it's a very different feeling on your skin.

The other thing to know is that everything will wrinkle — a lot. I like my bed to look nice and neat, so this was a tough adjustment to make. The sheets wrinkle pretty immediately, with creases forming after one night of rest. The duvet will hold up a bit better, but nothing is immune to the classic linen wrinkle.

But that's the point! Linen isn't a formal fabric, and it's not intended to look like one.

Waking up cool and refreshed

The one downside

If there is one downside of Brooklinen's linen bedding, it's the same as the upside: it keeps you cool.

A few of the nights I slept with the sheets, the AC was on full-blast in my apartment. Rather than waking up hot like I was accustomed to, I woke up shivering. This bedding is definitely summertime bedding — because it doesn't trap air in, it also doesn't keep you warm.

So, should you buy?

Another downside to Brooklinen's linen bedding (besides feeling a little too cool sometimes), it's the price. For the average consumer, the sheets and duvet are expensive. They're not expensive compared to luxury goods, but they are expensive compared to the $35 bed-in-a-bag you can get from Target. If you're someone who buys the cheapest possible bedding and can't tell the difference, this product might not be for you.

But if you're someone who doesn't mind paying for quality, or you're simply ready to get rid of the sheets your mom bought for you in college, you can't go wrong with Brooklinen.

All you have to do is pick out what you want on Brooklinen's website and it's sent right to your door wrapped in cotton sleeves and tucked inside a handy tote bag (mine even came with a special bottle of detergent and specific care instructions).

While I used to be someone who refused to shell out for nice sheets or a quality duvet cover, my mind has been changed. I've spent the last few weeks excited to go to bed solely for the sheets, and now I never want to go back to the cheap stuff.
