Green bedding is highly recommended
Published: 03 September 2008
A writer interested in ecology and sustainability has highlighted the great properties of hemp as a fabric used in bedding, with bedspreads and duvet covers manufactured from the material being highlighted as better for the earth than cotton.
For those people looking to invest in more eco-friendly fabric in bedding, look no further than the properties of hemp, a green online resource has stated.Eco-friendly website GreenStrides recommended the fabric as the perfect choice for bedding, as anyone looking for duvet sets that are produced organically are more likely to get results from the material.
It added that bed linen produced from hemp is also hypoallergenic as well as strong and durable, requiring less processing than cotton or polyester.
GreenStrides concluded: "Hemp, yes hemp, is one of the most sustainable and versatile materials on the market, especially if it is grown, harvested, processed, spun, woven, cleaned, softened, and finished organically."
The New Zealand Herald recently reported that car manufacturer Lotus had recently designed a green car, using hemp in the body panels and trim.
