Soak & Sleep.
Just thinking about taking a relaxing bath or a deep sleep encompasses the concept of living simply luxuriously. And today, we’re going to focus on cultivating a night’s sleep that is restorative no matter what the temperature may be outside.
Yep, linen sheets are not only for bringing the cool desired to your body during the warm summer nights, but bringing warmth in the winter as well. In other words, year-round fabric that will allow your body to breathe, yet remain at the ideal temperature.
Check out this detailed post about where linen comes from, how to best take care of it, as well as a few more tips for living with linen bedding and where to find it. But today, I have a giveaway for you that I am extremely excited to share.
Soak & Sleep is the UK’s top bed and bathroom company that is family run and only operates online to save you, the consumer money. As well, their business model is direct from supplier to retailer, and as they specialize in offering quality products, it is their breathable French Linen flax from the French-Belgium border that prompted me to reach out to them and see if they wanted to be a part of TSLL’s French Week.
And they said yes!
One entrant will win a full French linen set (this includes the duvet and two pillowcases) in a double size. The color is your choice, and for all other entrants, your opportunity to sleep on linen is greatly increased as if you stop by on Sunday August 19th, there will be an exclusive, limited-time only discount code offered to TSLL readers.
Let’s talk about sleeping on linen sheets. I shared during my trip throughout France this summer that I slept on linen sheets a couple of times (here is one instance) and since have begun to sleep on linen sheets at home (have a look here), and the moment you slip into a bed made with quality linen, your skin takes a deep breath of pleasure.
During the warm months, feeling linen on your skin is akin to a much desired cool (not cold) bath or shower – refreshing, blissful and deeply desired. As your skin is able to breathe (even more so than with cotton), your body’s temperature begins to drop making it easier for your mind and body to fall asleep. In other words, linen is an avenue to sweet sleep.

Thank you, Shannon, for sharing this with your readers! ~Natalie
These sheets look like a dream to sleep on 🙂
Reminds me of the linens in the house we rented just outside of Ménerbes two years ago. I loved reading and hearing about your recent trip in that area. The memories of that house and sitting on the patio every evening drinking wine with our view of the village of Ménerbes are priceless. That’s what life is all about…making memories with family and friends (doing it in France while drinking a good French rosé makes it even better!).
Ménebres is a truly stunning town set up higher overlooking the lumber on region. What a magical place to stay. I visited two different days and loved the shops and and views of the vineyards. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
What a nice giveaway!
Gorgeous linens ?
