For Luxury Bedding, Choose Egyptian Cotton Sheets

Egyptian cotton is designed with extremely high thread counts. Materials with high thread counts provide excellent quality, as the fabric is stronger and lasts longer. Egyptian cotton bed 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.

Egyptian cotton must always be made in Egypt to obtain such a high quality, as the river Nile offers 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 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 purchasing your Egyptian cotton bedding it�s 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 high thread count. With Egyptian cotton the thread count is higher than regular cottons, due to the stronger nature of the material.

Before you make your bed with this luxurious linen, you must ensure all newly purchased bedding has been washed on a regular cycle. You must also read the manufacturer washing instructions, as some sheets require cold washes.

Egyptian cotton bedding is available in a wide range of colours and styles. Neutral colours are often the most popular as they further emphasise the bedding�s luxurious, comforting and pure qualities.

Egyptian cotton bedding can provide an excellent wedding or anniversary gift. Egyptian cotton towels and bath robes are also very popular and can be personalised with the names of the couple to add a unique touch.

Approximately a third of your life is spent in bed. Therefore, you and your family should have top quality sheets, full of ultimate comfort and a crisp finish that allows your bedding to last for years. Pair your Egyptian cotton bedding with beautiful goose feather pillows and you will have a bed that is too comfortable to leave.
