Is Hemp Bedding a Good Choice?

Have you ever wondered if your sheets secretly hate you?

Alright, maybe "hate" is too strong—but we've all had those sweaty, itchy nights that make us question if our bedding has some hidden agenda against us. I’ve been there myself, tossing and turning, questioning my life choices—particularly in fabric selection. That’s exactly why Jess and I jumped into the hemp bedding world. Spoiler alert: our lives improved dramatically.

First things first, what's the deal with hemp?

Hemp isn't just for hippies and bracelets—it's seriously comfy stuff. Think linen meets silk, and you’re pretty close. It feels like slipping into your favourite pyjamas after a long day. Even after weekly washes for a year straight, there's no wear or pilling—just softer sheets each time around. And let's face it, softer sheets mean fewer cranky mornings (well, most days anyway).

There's a great chat about how hemp sheets are perfect year-round. I couldn’t agree more. When I switched to hemp sheets, I noticed they kept me cool in Brisbane’s scorching summer and toasty during those sneaky winter chills. Pretty magical, huh?

But aren't hemp sheets itchy?

I know, hemp has a bad rap for being scratchy, but that's honestly ancient history. Today's hemp bedding feels incredible—soft right from the first use and getting even better with every wash. No more middle-of-the-night itch attacks—just pure, unadulterated comfort. Check out why exactly hemp isn't itchy.

Let's talk sustainability

Jess and I didn't just pick hemp because it feels nice. Hemp's a superstar when it comes to being eco-friendly. It uses significantly less water compared to cotton and absolutely no pesticides. Plus, it's naturally antimicrobial. Translation? Fewer germs, fewer washes, happier planet. I wrote a whole spiel about how hemp beats cotton and polyester hands down if you want to geek out further.

But seriously, will it last?

I’ve tested hemp sheets the hard way—sleeping, washing, more sleeping, more washing (it’s a tough gig, I know). One year later, these sheets look brand new. You know how some fabrics start looking a bit sad after a few washes? Not hemp. This stuff just stays sturdy and luxurious. It’s a total no-brainer if you're tired of buying new sheets every year.

The real-world verdict (mine)

I love hearing my own voice (or so Jess says), but trust me, I'm not overselling here. Hemp bedding changed the way we sleep. Gone are the sweaty nights, itchy mornings, and washing sheets constantly. My bedding now does its job without complaint—exactly how sheets should behave.

If you want to see what I mean firsthand, check out our hemp sheet sets. Trust me, your bed deserves this upgrade.

Are there any downsides?

To be fair, hemp sheets can have a looser fit compared to cotton, something I noticed initially. But it's minor, and the comfort factor more than compensates. If you're picky about sizing, just check out our easy-to-follow size guide before buying.

So, is hemp bedding good?

Yes. Absolutely yes. It's good for you, your sleep, and our planet. If you're still on the fence, ask yourself this: would your current sheets pass the year-long comfort test? Hemp does—effortlessly.

Sleep easy and sustainably, folks!
