A Little Update on Our Hemp Bedding...
We're so sorry, our beautiful 100% Organic Hemp range has now been discontinued. We absolutely adored it, and we know many of you did too, which is why we've kept this page as a little love letter to a truly wonderful fabric. But don't worry. If you loved the sustainable, breathable, and wonderfully soft feel of hemp, we know you'll fall head over heels for its fabulous cousin, our 100% Linen collection. It shares all the same brilliant qualities and gets softer with every wash. Discover your new favourite today.
Here at Secret Linen Store, we’re always exploring beautiful, natural fabrics that are kinder to our planet. For a long time, one of our absolute favourites was our 100% Organic Hemp. While it's no longer part of our current collection, we wanted to keep this page to shout about just how tremendous this fabric is, and to explain why the qualities we loved in hemp are still at the very heart of everything we do today.
Hemp looks and feels remarkably like linen, but it’s a golden child of fabrics with its fabulous credentials. Recognised as one of the world’s most responsibly grown plants, hemp grows quickly and yields a huge amount of fibre while using much less water than other crops. We think you’ll agree that all-in-all, hemp is pretty perfect.
Why Hemp is So Great for Your Bed
Aside from being an excellent choice for the conscious sleeper, there were so many fabulous things which made hemp perfect for bed linen. It’s wonderfully breathable, which is ideal for bedtimes as it helps to keep you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. No more hanging a leg out of bed or snuggling together like penguins. It also holds natural antibacterial properties, making it particularly great for those of us with allergies or sensitive skin.
What we loved most, though, was its feel. It’s beautifully soft and buttery to the touch – miles away from the stiff, scratchy fabric you might have imagined. And just like linen, it’s incredibly resilient and gets softer and more supple with every single wash. It’s also biodegradable, so for the lucky people who bought some, you can rest easy knowing that in many, many years, it will decompose naturally.
What Was Special About Our Hemp
When we were searching for the best hemp for your sheets, we looked long and hard to find the perfect certified organic solution. We didn't just ensure the fibres were of the highest quality; as with all our bed linen, we did our homework to be certain that the entire supply chain was up to scratch too. We only want to work with the best suppliers and make sure everyone along the way is treated and paid fairly, a principle that remains at the core of our business today.
How to Care for Hemp Bedding
For those of you who have our hemp bedding at home, you’ll know there’s nothing high maintenance about it. Pop it in your machine at 40 degrees, and hang it on your washing line or drape it over your airer. If you like ironing then go for it, but if you prefer a more relaxed look to your bed (we’re big fans of that here), then you can pop it straight on. Just like linen, hemp gets softer over time, so we promise your hemp sheets will be an everlasting love.
