Add a Touch of Luxury to Your Bedding, With Luxurious Egyptian Cotton Sheets
Egyptian cotton is designed with extremely high thread counts. Materials with high thread counts are considered to have excellent quality, as the fabric is stronger and lasts longer. Egyptian cotton sheets often feel hard when first purchased and do not have the silky soft feeling that you would expect from a luxury bedding piece. However, unlike other materials that fade and become thinner after each wash, Egyptian cotton sheets actually become softer and retain their high quality after each laundering.
Egyptian cotton must always be made in Egypt to obtain such a high quality, as along the river Nile are unique nutrients that help to create a much stronger and softer material compared to other types of cotton. The fibres in Egyptian cotton also have the ability to absorb liquids much better than any other fabric, making it easier than ever to dye Egyptian cotton garments. Colours will also generally last longer even after continuous washing.
Some companies have been known to mix Egyptian cotton with other materials to reduce the overall cost of production. When you purchase your Egyptian cotton bedding its important to ensure it has the quality seal of approval by checking the product is made with 100% Egyptian cotton. For comfort and durability you should always ensure your bed linen has a considerably high thread count.
