Welcome to our new blog!
Why is Egyptian cotton considered the best cotton available? Cotton has been used throughout history but the recent popularity of Egyptian cotton brings up a valid question. Is it really better?
In one word, yes. Thread count has traditionally been the means by which we judged the quality of cotton bedding but evidence shows cotton from Egypt is in fact superior to other cottons grown around the world. But what is the difference?
Egyptian cotton has a different make up from other cotton in that it’s fibers are longer than other cottons and therefore creates more continuous fiber to use when creating threads or yarns. While smaller in diameter, the yarn is stronger and more threads per square inch can be produced. The result is bedding that’s lighter, softer and breathes better than comparable cotton bedding – and it actually becomes softer with time. This also makes Egyptian cotton bedding a better value in the long run than cheaper, less comfortable cotton bedding.
Please keep checking back!
Sincerely,
ECC
