Egyptian cotton is a premium type of cotton known for its long, silky fibers that produce ultrasoft, durable, and breathable fabric. It is grown in the Nile River Valley and is regarded as one of the finest cotton varieties in the world. Bedding made from Egyptian cotton is known for its luxurious feel and lasting quality.

Egyptian cotton is superior because its fibers are longer, resulting in smoother and stronger fabric. This allows for higher thread counts, giving the bedding a silky smooth texture that improves over time. Additionally, Egyptian cotton is naturally breathable, moisture wicking, and hypoallergenic, making it ideal for a comfortable and healthy sleep.

A thread count between 400 and 600 is ideal for Egyptian cotton bedding. A higher thread count generally indicates a denser, softer fabric, and perfect for a balance of softness and durability.
