What Makes Us Different
-
Not all linen is created equal. While some bedding is made from flax grown in regions that rely on heavy irrigation or intensive agricultural inputs, our bedding is crafted from traceable European flax sourced from France, Belgium, and the Netherlands — the natural home of the world’s finest linen, often referred to as the Flax Belt.
Flax grown in this region is naturally rain-fed and well suited to the local climate, producing long, strong fibers that result in linen that’s softer, smoother, and more durable over time. It’s where quality meets thoughtful sourcing — naturally. - Our bedding is designed with comfort and well-being in mind. All of our linen is certified under the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Class 1 and Masters of Flax Fibre® labels, which guarantee that what you sleep in is free from harmful chemicals, ethically manufactured under European fair labor laws, from 100% European flax, and fully traceable. We take our responsibility to both you and the planet seriously.
- We sell directly to you — no retail markups, no unnecessary middlemen. By keeping our model simple, we’re able to invest where it matters most: materials, craftsmanship, and quality control. The result is European linen bedding of exceptional quality, offered at a price that traditional retail models simply cannot match.
- We work only with experienced European partners and manufacture our bedding in Portugal, where linen craftsmanship spans generations. Each piece is woven, sewn, and finished with care, then garment washed for exceptional softness right out of the box.
- As a Danish-owned company, we’re guided by Scandinavian values: respect for natural materials, attention to detail, quality that lasts, and the belief that thoughtful design can improve everyday life. Our prints and color palette are inspired by Nordic landscapes and nature, designed to bring a sense of calm and beauty into your bedroom.
- Taking care of our customers is at the heart of everything we do. As a small, independent business, we value the personal connection we share with our community — and we genuinely love hearing from you. If you ever have a question, need guidance, or simply want to reach out, we’re always here to help, so please don't hesitate to contact us.

Amazing
"I finally retired my thread bare sheets. Linen sheets are an investment for me. I purchased Eileen Fisher when she brought out her product line. I’ve been searching replacement sheets all year. Thankfully I came across Modern Dane. THE BEST!!!"
Amazing linen!
"This is my second order from The Modern Dane. I love their linen! It arrives already pretty soft and only gets softer! It's also a lighter linen and doesn't feel heavy like some does. I'll definitely be back for more :)"
I like the look of
"I like the look of my new duvet cover even more after washing it before using it on my bed, as you suggested. Now it has a unique personality to it. Thanks again for your posts keeping me updated on its time of arrival. - Doris Lessick, Laguna Woods, CA"
Outstanding Quality
"This linen duvet is outstanding! Not only is it soft, but also very durable. The most remarkable quality of this duvet cover lays in the support I got along the way— throughout the entire process, the founder was always sure to give a heads-up on where my order stood. What was phenomenal, however, was the utmost transparency this company provided. The real standout was how this product was crafted with the highest quality, not just its beautiful final appearance. Even the buttons were meticulously designed! The only weakness I could say is its rough feel at the start, though it gets softer with each and every wash. It was absolutely worth every last penny— the owners clearly know what they're doing."
Fantastic
"Beautiful cover in a lovely blue. The linen is perfection! The linen is a worthwhile investment it will last a lifetime and enhance your sleep with its benefits."
Linen sheeting
"Wow. This linen is so soft and delicious. It is a pleasure to cuddle and sleep on!"
Beautiful linens
"I've had a Modern Dane duvet cover for my guest bedroom for years and just bought a new cover for my own bed. They are absolutely beautiful with a good fit, very comfortable. Highly recommend."
Luxury for Sleep
"You spend at least a third of your life in your bed- why not treat yourself. I am so happy with this duvet cover. After one wash, it's already pleasantly soft. And the blue is a beautiful shade- richer and deeper than it looked in the photos. Of course, I'm happiest that Modern Dane had a cover to fit my European single duvet. I'm a fan for life now!"
Love it!
"I greatly appreciated the very quick response and delivery time from The Modern Dane. The quality of the material and workmanship is excellent. The duvet set is so richly dyed (blue) and it is handsome on my bed. My only complaint (hence 4 stars not 5) is that the shams are a little short for a standard pillow. I would prefer if they had some kind of closure, either a fabric flap that gets folded over the pillow opening, or a button closure like the duvet has. Without this the end of the white pillow pops out and detracts from the well assembled look of the whole."
Q&A
- Does the duvet cover come with an insert?
- Thanks for your question! Our duvet covers do not come with an insert—they're designed to be used with your own duvet or comforter inside. If you need recommendations for inserts that work well with our covers and also meet our environmental and safety standards, we’d be happy to help! Just send us a note on the Contact Us page and we'll work with you on some good options.
WHY OUR LINEN IS SO COMFORTABLE
SOFT

THERMOREGULATING
Flax linen's hollow fiber allows it to breathe, keeping you cool in the summer and cozy in the winter.
HYPOALLERGENIC
Our high quality flax linen is naturally hypoallergenic and anti-bacterial. This makes it a great choice for sensitive skin.
ABSORBENT
Flax linen absorbs 20% of its own weight without feeling damp, keeping your skin dry and you comfortable throughout the night.
PEACE OF MIND
Comfort is a state of mind as well. Our linens are Oeko-Tex 100® Class 1 certified - your guarantee that what you sleep in is free from harmful chemicals.
HOW OUR LINEN IS GROWN
ALL COMFORT, NO GUILT
ZERO IRRIGATION
The only water our European flax needs is provided by rainfall saving 100 billion gallons of water annually over cotton farming - or what New York City uses in 470 years.
ZERO CHEMICALS
The transformation of flax into linen is an entirely mechanical process performed by highly skilled craftsmen using no chemicals.
ZERO POLLUTION
Flax is naturally resistant to pests and requires zero pesticide or defoliants and five times less fertilizer than cotton.
ZERO GMO
Certified European flax is guaranteed to be GMO-free, a commitment signed by all our growers as part of the European Flax Charter.
CO2 REDUCTION
Every year, the growing of flax in Europe captures 330,000 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere.
