I am concerned about the environment and have two children with food allergies and eczema. I have been told that natural hemp and cotton/organic cotton bed linen will help reduce the severity of my children's symptoms. What are some of your readers thoughts! and or concerns

Ny son had some issues that I couldn't quite put my finger on with the hepm, same as with his washables, but organic cotton with both had worked so far!
I also use a steam - clean cycle on my machine- no soap for the sheets, but some for the nappies

We live entirely naturally -- next to no synthetic products, chemicals or foods. We switched over to organic cotton sheets after my husband's multiple chemical sensitivity worsened, and it's been the best thing for his skin, allergies, and sleep cycle. Even I'm sleeping better, and have less skin rashes and spots.

Thank you

Thank you for your reply. I will certainly give them a go anything to get a better night sleep. Are your sheets entirely made from organic cotton or are they blended with hemp. Have you thought about sheets with hemp in them, biodegradable for the environment? Is organic cotton bed linen readily available in Canada? In Oz organic cotton bed linen is not readily available in larger department stores and they are very expensive. Ranging from AUD 150+ for single bed to AUD250 for king!

I can't help you on that one, but I'm sure you'll find some opinions elsewhere.
