Hayden is a stiffened polyester vertical blind fabric sold under the same name by Swift Direct Blinds, Blinds By Post, and So Easy Blinds. When the same fabric name appears across multiple made-to-measure retailers and prices scale predictably with window size at each, it is likely the same wholesale cloth sold through different routes. The construction is standard for vertical blinds: stiffened polyester vanes, 89mm wide, suspended from a head rail and chain-linked at the bottom to reduce swing in draughts.
Because the fabric is almost certainly fixed regardless of where you buy, the real differences between retailers come down to three things: the colours they stock, the fittings they offer, and the price at your specific window size.
On colour range, Swift Direct Blinds lists four shades - Fern, Whisper, Shadow, and Warmth - while Blinds By Post and So Easy Blinds each carry eleven, adding Sky, Honey, Midnight, Mist, Harmony, Heritage, and Empire to that core four. If a particular shade matters to your room scheme, the wider-stocking retailers give you more to work with.
On fittings, all three currently offer standard fitting only, so there is no advantage to be gained on mechanism or mounting type.
On price, the headline "from" figures reflect a small window and vary meaningfully between retailers. For any given window width and drop, the actual made-to-measure price is what matters - the size-pricer below lets you compare that directly. The headline "from" figure does not always reflect the final price at larger sizes, so it is worth running your exact dimensions across all three before committing.

We match these on the shared name and a price that scales the same way across window sizes, not an independent inspection, so treat it as likely the same fabric rather than confirmed. Construction, exact colourway and fitting can vary between retailers - check the specification at each before buying.
