It's more about the environmental damage. Plus fumes from non-stick pans can kill birds, so they're not entirely harmless.

I do use a non-stick pan, but only for eggs.

Modern linen sheets wear out fast. What you can do is use the top sheet for a bottom sheet like people used to do before there were fitted sheets.

Then when the bottom sheet wore out in the middle, they would cut the sheet in half length-wise and sew the good outside edges together in the middle and trim the worn part on the sides and re-hem them.

Textiles are relatively cheap these days, so people don't even know about tricks like this.

What I do is use linen top sheets only to get the benefit of linen while still enjoying smooth percale bottom sheets and pillowcases. Ditto for flannel in the winter. I really do not like flannel or linen pillowcases at all.
