The 8 Best Hemp Sheet Sets, Reviewed and Tested

Best Overall

The Tuft & Needle Hemp Sheet Set is a favorite for many reasons. These sheets strike a perfect balance between feeling heavy and cozy while remaining soft and cloud-like. It passed our absorbency test with excellent results, making us confident that it will remain breathable during the warmer months. The sheets are designed with a 16-inch pocket depth, ideal for deep mattresses or toppers. However, they may feel a little loose on standard mattresses without a topper. Despite that, the fitted sheet stayed securely in place, and we had no issues with it slipping off.

The sheets showed no visible stains after washing, and the coffee, foundation, and oil marks nearly vanished. However, they didn't perform as well in the durability test. When sandpaper was used on the sheets, the color faded, and a small tear appeared. Despite disappointing us in the abrasion test, the sheets proved durable over time—after six months, they remained as soft as when they were first purchased, with no shrinkage or discoloration. Overall, we were satisfied with the comfort and feel of these hemp sheets and believe they're a worthwhile investment.

Best Budget

While many hemp sheets tend to be expensive, the Everly Hemp Sheet Set stands out as an affordable choice for those on a budget. These sheets have the feel of summer linens—light, airy, and slightly translucent when held up to the light. Though they might feel a bit stiff at first, they become softer with each wash.

During our testing, we spilled coffee, foundation, and oil on the sheets. After washing them three times, all stains disappeared except for the oil stain, which we saw as a positive. Unfortunately, they didn't perform well in the abrasion test, with noticeable pilling, loose threads, and fading color after being sandpapered.

Despite their less-than-ideal performance in our lab tests, these sheets exceeded expectations in the long run. They managed to withstand six months of use—and even occasional cat scratching—without any snags, loose threads, or tears. Available in caramel, green, khaki, white, light grey, and light pink, these sheets offer a versatile range of colors.

Best Splurge

These luxurious sheets have a thick, rich feel to them (they are said to be 50% thicker than typical sheets), and they performed exceptionally well in our tests. The quality of this set is impeccable—we found no snags, dye issues, or any imperfections. We were particularly impressed by how easily stains washed out, especially since we struggled to remove stains from other hemp sheets. After several washes, all traces of coffee, foundation, and oil were gone.

While this set is pricier than most, it could be worth the investment if you're looking for truly luxurious, durable sheets. However, be aware that they wrinkled easily in our testing, which may not be ideal for those who prefer a crisp, smooth bed. Additionally, although these sheets are marketed as "100% organic," they don't have the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certification.

Best Cooling

These sheets from Target’s exclusive Casaluna line feel like soft linen: slightly textured but light in weight. To our delight, they softened after washing, and we anticipate that their feel will continue to improve with time. Additionally, they are made from pure hemp and feature Oeko-Tex 100 certification.

This set fits standard-sized mattresses perfectly, with the fitted sheet staying snug without sagging. We also appreciated the bed placement labels that clearly mark top and bottom for easy bed-making. The sheets performed excellently in our water test—water droplets spread for 10 seconds, showing they manage moisture well and stay cool. Although we expected them to excel in warmer weather, they also provided comfort during colder months. Their impressive temperature regulation makes them suitable for year-round use.

While most stains came out easily, the oil stain proved to be quite persistent and remained visible. Durability could also be a concern; during testing with sandpaper, a hole formed. Therefore, extra care is recommended to prolong their lifespan. However, despite this, the fabric stayed in excellent condition after six months of use, with only one loose thread observed.

Top Cotton-Blend Pick

If you're hesitant about switching to all-hemp sheets, a hemp-cotton blend could be the ideal alternative. Our tests revealed that these 120-thread count sheets provide a perfect combination of the comfort of cotton and the durability of hemp. They proved to be just as cozy in the winter as in warmer seasons, making them an excellent option for year-round use.

In our testing, we had concerns about the sheets' durability due to their lightweight and seemingly delicate feel. When subjected to abrasion tests, we managed to create a hole in the flat sheet after lightly rubbing it with sandpaper. The area also showed wear and discoloration. Nevertheless, after six months of daily use, the sheets performed far better than expected, showing no loose threads, color fading, or damage. Remarkably, they didn't snag even when exposed to our tester's cat's claws.

The sheets also offer impressive stain resistance, quickly absorbing all liquids except oil in under a minute. After multiple washes, they only became softer, offering a balanced feel between all-cotton and all-hemp options. If you're looking for versatile bedding suitable for all seasons, these sheets are a solid choice.

Most Resilient

The finest sheets are built to endure frequent washing, standing the test of time. This Crate & Barrel sheet set is one of our favorites, proving its durability after six months of use (and a few cat encounters) without any snags or fraying. Surprisingly, it's actually become softer over time.

These sheets have a lightweight, almost gauzy feel. In our durability test, we managed to remove all stains except for a faint trace. While a small ball of lint formed in the abraded area, we saw no holes or significant changes. The texture did feel slightly smoother, but this was not a drawback. The water droplet test was impressive—liquids were absorbed in just five seconds, highlighting the sheets' excellent moisture-wicking qualities. They fit snugly on our mattress but did loosen a bit with continued use.

Thanks to their breathability, these sheets worked surprisingly well in winter, too. We noticed less perspiration compared to other sets, suggesting they're suitable for all seasons. They come in three neutral shades, each featuring a subtle grid pattern. While we liked the aesthetic, those who prefer solid-colored sheets might not find these ideal.

Best Bamboo-Blend Hemp Sheets

Hemp sheets are often known for their rough feel, but the Ettitude Linen+ Sheet Set challenges that notion. The blend of 70% bamboo lyocell and 30% hemp makes these sheets exceptionally soft and cool to the touch. Compared to other sheets we've tested—including hemp, nylon, and polyester—these were far softer. Plus, they're Oeko-Tex certified and anti-microbial, ensuring a healthier and more restful sleep.

Each set includes a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and two embroidered pillowcases. Available in queen, king, and California king sizes, there are no options for twin or full. The fitted sheet has deep pockets designed to fit mattresses up to 17 inches. If your mattress is smaller (ours was 10 inches), you may need to adjust it to achieve a smooth fit. Additionally, each sheet has a label to easily distinguish the top and bottom, making bed-making easier.

During our stain tests, we successfully removed all stains except for oil. The abrasion test, however, proved to be the biggest issue—after just six swipes of sandpaper, lint started to form, and by 40 swipes, a hole had appeared in the sheet. Despite some minor pilling and color fading, these sheets have held up well after six months of weekly use. They still fit perfectly on our mattress—not too tight or too loose—and stains are easily removed. Available in cream, honey, and blue, these sheets are beautiful, but we deducted a few points for the pilling and discoloration.

Best Organic

The Avocado Organic Hemp Sheets are crafted from 100% GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified hemp, ensuring that at least 95% of the fibers are organic. We were thoroughly impressed with the quality of these sheets, which managed to keep us warm during the winter and cool in the summer. In our breathability tests, the fabric absorbed water instantly, showing these sheets’ ability to maintain a cool and sweat-free sleep environment.

The sheets and pillowcases have a consistent color and texture, though they are only available in two similar shades: champagne and sand. A few stray threads were spotted, but they were barely noticeable unless you looked closely. This is understandable, as the stitching seemed quite delicate, so it’s advisable to machine wash these sheets on a gentle cycle.

We didn’t notice a significant change in softness after washing, with little difference between the unwashed pillowcase and the three-times-washed sheets. After six months of use, these sheets have held up remarkably well. We were particularly impressed by how easily stains were removed, even in the light champagne color. Avocado also offers a 100-night free trial, meaning if you don’t love them, you can return them for a full refund.

Final Thoughts

Our top recommendation is the Tuft & Needle Hemp Sheet Set for its exceptional quality, combining a dense feel with softness and breathability. For those on a tighter budget, we suggest the Everly Hemp Sheet Set, which provides a cool, breathable fabric that rivals higher-end alternatives in terms of quality.

How We Tested

To find the top hemp sheets available, we tested 12 different sets in both our lab and at home. We began by checking the quality of each set, looking for issues like loose threads, snags, uneven stitching, discoloration, and other flaws. We also reviewed the thread count and care instructions to determine how best to wash and care for the sheets. Afterward, we washed the sheets (excluding the pillowcases) to check for any noticeable changes in texture.

Next, we tested the sheets' resistance to stains by applying coffee, oil, and foundation to a corner of the fabric—common messes that often occur. After letting the stains set, we washed the sheets twice on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and dried them once to see which stains were removed. We also checked if there was any shrinkage in the fabric.

We performed a moisture-wicking test to assess how breathable the fabric is. A single drop of water was placed on the material, and we observed whether the water dissipated, spread, or remained on the surface. If the drop dissipated or spread quickly, the fabric was considered good at managing moisture.

We then tested how well the sheet fit on our mattress. After making the bed, we laid down to see how the sheet felt against our skin. We rolled side to side and shifted around to simulate a restless night, checking if the sheet shifted or came off during our movements.

To evaluate the durability of the sheets, we placed a flat sheet on a table and rubbed a sanding block against it. We inspected the fabric for pilling, fading, or holes, and compared the results with the untouched fabric. For further insights, we took the sheets home and tested them after three and six months of use.

Expert Tips for Buying Hemp Sheets

Composition

You may be wondering exactly what hemp fibers are. Much like linen, they come from a plant—specifically, the hemp plant. And no, hemp is not the same as marijuana, although both belong to the Cannabis family. As Wang explains, "Though related, the hemp plant is distinct from marijuana. It contains almost no THC (less than 0.3%) and is not psychoactive." He also mentions that hemp products are typically made from either the stalk or the leaves of the plant.

"The stalk is commonly used in textiles like bedding because its long fibers are durable and perfect for spinning and weaving," he says. "The leaves, on the other hand, are used for supplements, oils, and body care products."

If you're looking to combine the eco-friendly benefits of hemp with the softness of cotton or the breathability of linen, consider opting for a blended fabric. For instance, the Ettitude Linen+ Sheet Set is made from a combination of bamboo lyocell and hemp.

Fitted Sheet Pocket Depth

"Sheets won't fit properly if the pocket depth is either too shallow or too deep," explains Wang. "When you're shopping for sheets, it's essential to consider the pocket depth because mattresses come in various shapes and sizes nowadays."

The typical pocket depth for a fitted sheet ranges from 13 to 17 inches, but if you have an extra-deep mattress, look for pocket depths between 18 and 20 inches. Coil or hybrid mattresses are generally thicker, while foam mattresses are thinner. Additionally, if you use a mattress topper, you may need an extra inch or so for a proper fit.

Return Policy

If you're new to hemp sheets, it might be wise to test them out before fully committing. Fortunately, most hemp bedding companies offer a money-back guarantee if you're not satisfied with your purchase. Return policies vary across brands—some offer a 30-day window, while others extend it to 7 or even 90 days.

More Hemp Sheets to Consider

Buffy Linen Sheet Set: Though called 'linen,' these sheets are made from hemp. They held up well in our durability tests but didn't soften after months of use, leaving them feeling somewhat scratchy.

Banana Republic Super Soft Hemp Sheet Set: This set impressed in our stain removal and abrasion tests, effortlessly removing all stains in one wash. However, during long-term testing, it showed signs of pilling and began to loosen over time.

Questions You Might Ask

What are the pros and cons of hemp sheets?

Hemp is a breathable and lightweight fabric that closely resembles linen in both look and feel, with the added benefit of being naturally antibacterial. According to Wang, hemp bedding is also more durable, breathable, and long-lasting compared to other textiles. 'The durability of hemp comes from its extraordinarily long fibers—several feet long, compared to the shorter fibers of cotton,' he explains.

The main downside of hemp bedding is its cost. Even the most budget-friendly hemp sheet sets usually exceed $100, so if you're working with a very tight budget, you might have to consider other fabric options.

How does hemp compare to linen and cotton?

Wang explains that hemp is very similar to linen in feel, weight, breathability, and durability. However, hemp doesn't have the same stretchiness as linen, which helps it retain its shape even after years of use. Moreover, hemp is more resistant to UV rays, which helps maintain its color and prevents fading.

Hemp sheets may crease more and generally feel rougher than cotton sheets. However, the advantage of hemp sheets is that they require significantly less water in their production process and boast better durability, ensuring they remain a long-lasting option.

Do hemp sheets become softer with use?

Hemp sheets, when freshly washed, may feel stiff, but with repeated use, the fibers loosen up, and the sheets become progressively softer.
