These Hemp Bed Sheets Could Be the Newest Thing to Hit the Market

 Hemp is a sustainable resource and has been used for thousands of years to make textiles and yarns. It has been used as a medicine, food, building material, fuel, paper and as a textile to name just a few. It is one of the more environmentally friendly plants we can grow for these purposes on our planet. 

It is easy to grow with very little weeding required and no pesticides or herbicides needed. It replenishes the soil it is grown in because of its deep root systems and it can be harvested over and over again.

Hemp could be the future of sustainable living if utilized correctly. So why haven’t we seen this plant become more popular?

Although hemp was used in World War II to make paper, sails, uniforms and other materials hemp was criminalized with the Marijuana Tax Act in 1937. This act made it illegal to grow any form of cannabis without a permit which was nearly impossible to acquire. After this time the hemp industry died until recently when Colorado legalized the plant allowing companies like Hemp Basics based in Boulder Colorado to start their business once again.

Hemp Basics offers bedding that is both affordable and comfortable while being made from 100% natural.

Hemp bed sheets could be the newest thing to hit the market. Why? Hemp is one of the strongest natural fibers on earth and is backed with a long history of its use in textiles.

That has all changed recently and hemp bed sheets are now available in many places. This article will give you some insight into what hemp bed sheets are and where you can buy them online and offline.

 

There are two main types of hemp bed sheets: those made from the plant itself, and those made from a synthetic material called Hemp Microfiber. Both types of bed sheets are made from the same basic materials: natural cotton and natural wool. The difference is that one type uses an actual plant as its source material, while the other uses an artificial fiber made from fossil fuels.

The reason why hemp microfiber is used instead of natural cotton is because it is more durable than cotton. It also has more flexibility than natural cotton, which means that the sheets will be able to stand up to heavy use without tearing or fraying. This means that your sheets will be able to last longer without needing to be replaced as often as normal cotton or wool sheets do.
