How to Wash, Dry, and Care for Your Hemp Bedding for Long-Lasting Comfort

When you invest in hemp bedding, you’re choosing comfort, sustainability, and timeless elegance. At Hemp Gallery Australia, our hemp sheets, pillowcases, and quilt covers are crafted for those who care deeply about quality and conscious living. To make sure your bedding remains soft, breathable, and beautiful for years to come, here’s a complete care guide tailored to your lifestyle.

Why Choose Hemp Bedding?

Hemp fabric is naturally antibacterial, thermoregulating, and hypoallergenic—ideal for sensitive skin and year-round comfort. Unlike conventional cotton, hemp uses far less water to grow and requires no harmful pesticides, making it one of the most eco-friendly bedding options available today.

Washing Your Hemp Bedding: Gentle and Green

To maintain the softness and durability of your hemp sheets:

🧺 Use Cold or Lukewarm Water

Wash your hemp bedding at a temperature no higher than 40°C. This helps preserve the fabric’s strength and colour.

🌿 Choose Natural Detergents

Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners. Opt for eco-friendly laundry products, such as Koala Eco, that align with your sustainable values.

🔄 Wash Separately at First

For the first few washes, wash your hemp bedding separately to prevent lint transfer from other fabrics and allow the fibres to settle.


Drying Hemp Bedding: Let Nature Work Its Magic

Hemp loves air drying. It's a breathable, natural fibre that softens over time with use and care.

☀️ Air Dry for Best Results

Line drying outdoors (in the shade) is ideal. This not only preserves the integrity of the fibres but also helps reduce your energy consumption.

🌀 Using a Dryer? Go Gentle

If air drying isn't possible, use a low-heat tumble dryer setting. Over-drying can cause unnecessary shrinkage and weaken the fibres.


Ironing and Storing: Keeping Things Crisp

🔥 Iron on Medium Heat

Hemp has a relaxed, textured appearance that many love, but if you prefer a smooth finish, iron while slightly damp using medium heat.

📦 Store in a Cool, Dry Place

Avoid plastic storage containers. Instead, use breathable cotton or linen storage bags to protect your bedding and allow airflow.


Common Questions from Our Customers

“Will my hemp bedding soften over time?”

Absolutely. Hemp naturally softens with each wash without compromising its durability. It’s one of the few textiles that gets better the more you use it.

“Is it safe for people with allergies or sensitive skin?”

Yes! Hemp is naturally resistant to dust mites and mould, making it ideal for allergy-prone sleepers. Pair it with our hemp buckwheat pillows for a complete allergen-free sleep setup.


Bonus: Make Your Hemp Bedding Last Even Longer

  • Rotate your bedding sets: This reduces wear and tear on a single set.

  • Don’t overload the washing machine: Let hemp move freely to avoid creasing.

  • Pair your bedding with a mattress protector for extra longevity.


A Conscious Choice That Feels Like Luxury

At Hemp Gallery Australia, we believe comfort and sustainability should go hand in hand. Our hemp bedding isn’t just better for the planet—it’s better for your body, too. With the right care, your hemp sheets will stay luxuriously soft, breathable, and beautiful for years.
