Brooklinen's new line of bedding completely solved one of my biggest sleep issues
Brooklinen
Brooklinen wants to alleviate one of the worst summertime feelings: being hot and sticky while you sleep.
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.
Brooklinen is the brainchild of husband-and-wife duo Vicki and Rich Fulop, an impossibly chic couple based in - where else - Brooklyn. The company was founded three years ago and initially sold its wares on Kickstarter.
The premise of Brooklinen is "luxury bedding at non-luxury prices." As an ecommerce site, the company wants to cut out all possible middlemen and avoid brick-and-mortar retail. In doing that, Brooklinen says it eliminates as much as $200 in costs - its bedding starts at $99, compared to what the company says can be more like $300 at traditional retailers.
Brooklinen now offers plenty of items for the bedroom, including sheets, comforters, pillows, and candles. But it's stuck to just two fabrics for up until now: classic percale, and "Luxe," which has a higher thread count.
I tried a "hardcore bundle" of Brooklinen's new linen bedding - which includes a set of sheets, four pillowcases, and a duvet cover - just as the weather got hot. Here's how it went.
