Material
What is hemp as a bedding filling?
Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) produces sturdy bast fibers that are also used in textiles. In bedding, hemp is combined with cotton. This results in a plant-based filling whose comfort is determined by the blend, fill weight, quilting, and cover.
If you tend to get warm at night, a blend of natural fibers like hemp and cotton can help maintain a comfortable sleeping environment. How warm a blanket actually feels also depends on the amount of filling, the room temperature, your bedding, and your personal sensitivity to heat.
