Egyptian cotton has become very popular for bedding in recent years. It was though for ages that cotton was cotton and thread count was king when choosing quality sheets. That is no longer true. Consumer guidelines for buying bedding suggest that cotton from Egypt is superior to other cotton. If this is true, what is the big difference?
The long staple of long fiber of Egyptian-grown cotton means that there is more continuous fiber to use when creating threads or yarns. This yarn is smaller in diameter yet stronger than other cottons. Smaller yarn means that more threads per square inch can be used to create stronger fabric which is light in weight yet breathes well.
Cotton grown in the Egyptian fields will also produce less lint and therefore will not pill after repeated washings as some materials do. At one time, the only way to obtain Egyptian fiber cotton bedding was at high-end expensive store. This is no longer true and most department stores and online bedding stores carry a great selection of Egyptian produced cotton bedding.
A word of caution regarding bedding labels: If the package says “cotton rich” the actual amount of cotton, whether Egyptian or other cotton, can be a very small amount. To protect one’s investment in bedding it is best to select products that state 100% cotton or ones that state 100% Egyptian Cotton if that is what you are seeking.
The Trendy Bed has a great selection in 100% Cotton and 100% Egyptian Cotton. We carry Egyptian cotton sheets from 300 thread count up to 1500 thread count, I truly believe everyone should be able to afford and enjoy a little taste of luxury, and sleeping on good quality sheets is one luxury we all should enjoy.
