Is linen better than cotton for hot sleepers?

Linen breathes and wicks moisture better than most cotton, so it stays cooler at night. Cotton sateen feels smoother but traps more warmth.

Will these sheets shrink?

Linen typically shrinks a little on the first wash, especially in hot water. Wash cool and tumble low to keep the fit.

No, but they will look rumpled. Linen is meant to have a relaxed, creased texture; ironing only matters if you want a crisp finish.

A fitted sheet, a flat sheet and two pillowcases. The pillowcases are chosen at order.

Machine wash cool with mild detergent and tumble dry low. Skip fabric softener and high heat, which dull the softness and cause shrinkage.
