Hemp Organic Cotton Sheets

I love my Hemp organic cotton sheets. Super soft and keeps me cool during the summer nights.

I take bedding seriously and always have. I’m also pretty into sleepwear and underwear. I get giddy about the details that make life’s quieter experiences a little prettier, more comfortable, and a little more pleasant, so bedding matters to me.

Here’s why Hemp Organic cotton sheets are great:

Hemp-organic cotton is an abundant, easy-to-grow crop—which means that even when it’s not grown organically, it can be cultivated without pesticides or chemical fertilizers.

It also produces an incredibly soft fabric that drapes on your sleepy self in a way you can’t imagine.

It’s weirdly stain-proof, with the exception of blood* and after many washes, it feels as soft as the day you open the package.

It helps keep you cool when it’s warm and warm when it’s cool, and it’s never heavy or scratchy.

The brand I’ve tried is Biome which is Australian-made and owned. The only thing I have yet to do is replace my duvet cover with bamboo. Once I do, I may never make it out of bed again.

Do you choose hemp organic cotton? From what I’ve learned so far there are pluses and minuses with Hemp-organic cotton: Yes, it can be grown sustainably and turned into a fabric in a closed loop that is less polluting—and far less polluting than conventionally grown cotton.

The problem with clothing and sheets is not the pesticides used on the crop, but primarily how it is processed. If you are buying something that is rayon or viscose – the majority of the time it has been chemically stripped.

Quick rundown:

• Natural (animal or plant origin – cotton, linen, wool, silk);
• Artificial (chemically processed fibres from natural origin – viscose, modal);
• Synthetic (from petroleum synthesized textile fibres – polyamide, elastane, polyester, etc.).

A note on Viscose… which you often see paired with Bamboo:

“Viscose. This synthetic fibre is produced by processing chemically cellulose and by allocating a silk, cotton, wool or linen look. An expensive and time-consuming manufacturing process. It is often combined with cotton to improve its qualities. ”

Ok here is what I have to say:

The process of breaking down the Hemp-organic cotton raw pulp into a textile yarn is not so far off from the process used to break down raw cotton pulp into a textile yarn.
They both use very strong chemicals.

Cotton plantations use 25% of the world’s pesticides and fertilizers, not to mention millions of gallons of water and wasted electricity that is used in the process as well. When we get tired of that old cotton sheet set or cotton t-shirt and decide to throw it away in the trash well sadly to say cotton is not a very biodegradable fibre.

Hemp is growing in the wild with almost no water or sunlight needed; it needs NO pesticides and fertilizers to grow.
Bamboo is highly biodegradable and when bamboo is growing it produces more photosynthesis than cotton or any other grass plant! So, it cleans our air and does well while growing.

Also, when they cut the hemp down, it grows back, and this can be done 4-5 times before the plant will no longer grow.
So it is renewable too!

This stuff is important to know when buying bamboo over any other fibre.

Remember the true beauty of Hemp-organic cotton sheets is:

• Super soft and smooth.
• They work with your own body temperature to give you the perfect sleep.
• They repel germs.
• Good for the planet earth.
