Frequently Asked Questions

Malua bedding is made from 100% certified French flax linen, known for its durability, breathability, and naturally luxurious texture. The fabric is stonewashed for added softness and a relaxed, lived-in feel from the very first use. It’s a plant-based, vegan material produced entirely in Europe—from field to finished product.

Yes, our linen is completely vegan. It’s made from 100% plant-based flax fibres, with no animal-derived materials or treatments used at any stage of production. Just pure, natural comfort—kind to your skin and the planet.

Yes, your linen bedding will naturally wrinkle—and that’s part of its charm. Wrinkling is a hallmark of 100% flax linen and is actually a sign of its authenticity and softness. At Malua, we embrace these natural creases as a feature, not a flaw. Our linen is stonewashed, which gives it that beautifully lived-in look from the very first sleep and makes it even softer over time. If you prefer a crisper appearance, you can lightly iron it—but many of our customers fall in love with the effortlessly relaxed, textured aesthetic just as it is.

Linen has a distinct texture and feel when compared to cotton: Linen feels cooler and crisper at first touch but softens beautifully with each wash. It has a naturally textured, breathable weave that helps regulate body temperature and wick away moisture—ideal for hot sleepers or year-round comfort. Cotton is typically smoother and softer initially, with a tighter weave, but it doesn’t regulate heat and moisture as effectively as linen. If you love a more relaxed, breathable, and lived-in luxury feel—linen is your match.

Our bedding is crafted from 100% certified French flax linen, weighing 175 g/m², and stonewashed for extra softness.

Our fitted sheets are designed with generous depth to ensure a perfect fit on most mattresses. Each sheet features a depth of 35cm, making it suitable for standard and deeper mattresses alike. The elasticated edges provide a secure hold, so your sheet stays in place—even if you’re a restless sleeper. Just smooth it on and sleep easy.

Our bedding is thoughtfully crafted entirely in Europe. We use flax grown and harvested in France, which is then woven and sewn in Portugal by trusted manufacturers known for their craftsmanship and ethical practices. Every piece is finished with care and warehoused in Poland, where it’s prepared for delivery direct to your door. From field to finished product, it’s 100% European-made—with integrity, quality, and sustainability at every step.

Yes, we recommend washing your bedding before first use. While our linen is already stonewashed for extra softness, a gentle wash helps remove any residual fibres from production and enhances that fresh, clean feel. It’s the perfect way to begin your Malua experience—soft, natural, and ready to welcome you to bed.

To care for your linen and keep it looking and feeling its best: Wash at 40°C on a gentle cycle Use a mild detergent – avoid bleach and fabric softeners Wash separately or with similar colours Do not overload the machine – linen loves space to move Tumble dry on low or line dry in the shade No need to iron – embrace the natural, relaxed wrinkles Stonewashed linen is naturally soft and gets even softer over time—so the more you love it, the better it loves you back.

Yes, you can tumble dry linen — just be gentle with it. We recommend using a low heat setting and removing it promptly to avoid overdrying, which can weaken the fibres over time. For best results, give it a good shake before drying and again once it’s done to minimise creasing. Prefer a more natural finish? Linen also dries beautifully on the line.

You can iron your linen bedding — but you don’t have to. Linen naturally has a relaxed, lived-in texture that many people love. If you want a crisper look, you can iron it on a medium setting while still slightly damp. Just note that ironing will reduce the soft, stonewashed effect. Prefer that effortless, casual feel? Skip the iron and embrace the wrinkles — it's part of linen’s charm.
