Factors to Consider When Buying Egyptian Cotton Sheets<\/h2>\n
Egyptian cotton is a superior quality of cotton that comes at a high price. Some companies market regular cotton sheets as Egyptian cotton sheets to increase sales, which makes picking the best Egyptian cotton sheets rather challenging. There are several factors you should consider in buying Egyptian cotton sheets.<\/p>\n
Authenticity<\/h3>\n
Several manufacturers falsely label regular cotton sheets to increase sales. An indicator that the sheets are made from 100% Egyptian cotton is the high price point. Finding a cheap 100% Egyptian cotton sheet is too good to be true. A trusted manufacturer has certification from the Cotton Egypt Association. Cotton Egypt Association monitors and certifies manufacturers of Egyptian cotton to ensure authenticity.<\/p>\n
Thread Count<\/h3>\n
Thread count is an important factor to consider when buying Egyptian cotton sheets as it indicates the quality of the sheet. The optimal thread count<\/a> for Egyptian cotton sheets is 400-700. Take caution, though, as some manufacturers exaggerate the thread count to increase sales.<\/p>\nWeave<\/h3>\n
The weave of sheets determines the feel, softness, and durability. There are four common weaves for Egyptian cotton sheets:<\/p>\n
Percale: This one-over-one-under weave is common in Egyptian cotton sheets. The sheets have a matte finish and a crisp feel. Percale sheets<\/a> are lightweight and durable.<\/p>\nSateen: Sateen weave produces a heavier and smoother fabric with a silky finish. This three-over-one-under weave results in a softer sheet.<\/p>\n
Pinpoint: Pinpoint is a two-over-one-under weave that features greater durability. However, pinpoint weave results in a coarser texture.<\/p>\n
Twill: This type of weave has a diagonal thread pattern that results in a soft, fuzzy, and warm fabric.<\/p>\n
Color\/Pattern<\/h3>\n
Most Egyptian cotton sheets are available in neutral colors. The most common are white and gray but some brands offer bold colors, too. A few brands offer patterned sheets, usually stripes and a grid. Reputable brands use fade-resistant dyes to keep the color vibrant for several years.<\/p>\n
Fiber Length<\/h3>\n
Fiber length determines the feel of the cotton sheets. The longer the fibers, the softer and silkier the fabric is. Short staple cotton is made from fibers that are up to 1.125 inches long. They are coarser as more fiber ends are exposed. Some Egyptian and Indian cotton blends are made from long-staple cotton.<\/p>\n
Long-staple cotton is made from fibers that are 1.125 to 1.25 inches long. It is smoother and softer than short-staple cotton. Extra-long staple cotton measures 1.375 to 2 inches. This must be handpicked to protect the fibers from breaking. Pima cotton and Egyptian cotton are the most popular type of extra-long staple cotton.<\/p>\n
Common Questions<\/h2>\nAre Egyptian cotton sheets worth it?<\/h3>\n
Egyptian cotton sheets are pricier than the regular cotton sheets<\/a> but definitely better. They are more durable and long-lasting compared to\u00a0a regular cotton sheets.\u00a0Egyptian cotton sheets are a perfect balance of comfort and luxury.<\/p>\nWhat is the difference between percale and Egyptian cotton?<\/h3>\n
Egyptian cotton is the material used to produce fabric while percale is a type of weave. Percale weave is a one-over-one-under weave that results in a strong fabric. The type of weave determines the thickness and strength of the fabric.<\/p>\n
What is the difference between Pima and Egyptian cotton?<\/h3>\n
Both Pima and Egyptian cotton are made from the Gossypium Barbadense<\/em>\u00a0plant. Both Egyptian and Pima cotton are handpicked and extra-long-staple cotton. The difference is, Pima cotton is grown in America usually trademarked under Supima. Furthermore, it is more affordable than Egyptian cotton.<\/p>\nWhat\u2019s so special about Egyptian cotton?<\/h3>\n
Egyptian cotton is more expensive and finer than regular cotton. Egyptian cotton is handpicked to put less stress on the fiber and protect it from breakage. They are softer and stronger compared to regular cotton sheets. Moreover, Egyptian cotton sheets absorb moisture to keep you cool from night sweats. Egyptian cotton sheets also have a brighter and more resistant-colored fabric.<\/p>\n
What is the best thread count for Egyptian cotton sheets?<\/h3>\n
When it comes to Egyptian cotton, look for sheets that have a thread count between 400 to 700. A lower thread count in the 200 to 300 range can still feel quite comfortable if made with single-ply yarn, which means the thread is made up of only one fiber rather than many twisted together. Higher thread counts are often just a marketing tactic and do not feel any more comfortable than a lower thread count.<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n
Egyptian cotton sheets are widely used in hotels because of their exceptional quality, but Egyptian cotton is not designed to be enjoyed in hotels alone. People prefer Egyptian cotton sheets because they are incredibly soft in comparison to other sheets. Fiber length, weave pattern, and durability determine the quality of cotton sheets, but Egyptian cotton sheets are a lifesaver for hot sleepers.<\/p>\n

Factors to Consider When Buying Egyptian Cotton Sheets<\/h2>\n
Egyptian cotton is a superior quality of cotton that comes at a high price. Some companies market regular cotton sheets as Egyptian cotton sheets to increase sales, which makes picking the best Egyptian cotton sheets rather challenging. There are several factors you should consider in buying Egyptian cotton sheets.<\/p>\n
Authenticity<\/h3>\n
Several manufacturers falsely label regular cotton sheets to increase sales. An indicator that the sheets are made from 100% Egyptian cotton is the high price point. Finding a cheap 100% Egyptian cotton sheet is too good to be true. A trusted manufacturer has certification from the Cotton Egypt Association. Cotton Egypt Association monitors and certifies manufacturers of Egyptian cotton to ensure authenticity.<\/p>\n
Thread Count<\/h3>\n
Thread count is an important factor to consider when buying Egyptian cotton sheets as it indicates the quality of the sheet. The optimal thread count<\/a> for Egyptian cotton sheets is 400-700. Take caution, though, as some manufacturers exaggerate the thread count to increase sales.<\/p>\nWeave<\/h3>\n
The weave of sheets determines the feel, softness, and durability. There are four common weaves for Egyptian cotton sheets:<\/p>\n
Percale: This one-over-one-under weave is common in Egyptian cotton sheets. The sheets have a matte finish and a crisp feel. Percale sheets<\/a> are lightweight and durable.<\/p>\nSateen: Sateen weave produces a heavier and smoother fabric with a silky finish. This three-over-one-under weave results in a softer sheet.<\/p>\n
Pinpoint: Pinpoint is a two-over-one-under weave that features greater durability. However, pinpoint weave results in a coarser texture.<\/p>\n
Twill: This type of weave has a diagonal thread pattern that results in a soft, fuzzy, and warm fabric.<\/p>\n
Color\/Pattern<\/h3>\n
Most Egyptian cotton sheets are available in neutral colors. The most common are white and gray but some brands offer bold colors, too. A few brands offer patterned sheets, usually stripes and a grid. Reputable brands use fade-resistant dyes to keep the color vibrant for several years.<\/p>\n
Fiber Length<\/h3>\n
Fiber length determines the feel of the cotton sheets. The longer the fibers, the softer and silkier the fabric is. Short staple cotton is made from fibers that are up to 1.125 inches long. They are coarser as more fiber ends are exposed. Some Egyptian and Indian cotton blends are made from long-staple cotton.<\/p>\n
Long-staple cotton is made from fibers that are 1.125 to 1.25 inches long. It is smoother and softer than short-staple cotton. Extra-long staple cotton measures 1.375 to 2 inches. This must be handpicked to protect the fibers from breaking. Pima cotton and Egyptian cotton are the most popular type of extra-long staple cotton.<\/p>\n
Common Questions<\/h2>\nAre Egyptian cotton sheets worth it?<\/h3>\n
Egyptian cotton sheets are pricier than the regular cotton sheets<\/a> but definitely better. They are more durable and long-lasting compared to\u00a0a regular cotton sheets.\u00a0Egyptian cotton sheets are a perfect balance of comfort and luxury.<\/p>\nWhat is the difference between percale and Egyptian cotton?<\/h3>\n
Egyptian cotton is the material used to produce fabric while percale is a type of weave. Percale weave is a one-over-one-under weave that results in a strong fabric. The type of weave determines the thickness and strength of the fabric.<\/p>\n
What is the difference between Pima and Egyptian cotton?<\/h3>\n
Both Pima and Egyptian cotton are made from the Gossypium Barbadense<\/em>\u00a0plant. Both Egyptian and Pima cotton are handpicked and extra-long-staple cotton. The difference is, Pima cotton is grown in America usually trademarked under Supima. Furthermore, it is more affordable than Egyptian cotton.<\/p>\nWhat\u2019s so special about Egyptian cotton?<\/h3>\n
Egyptian cotton is more expensive and finer than regular cotton. Egyptian cotton is handpicked to put less stress on the fiber and protect it from breakage. They are softer and stronger compared to regular cotton sheets. Moreover, Egyptian cotton sheets absorb moisture to keep you cool from night sweats. Egyptian cotton sheets also have a brighter and more resistant-colored fabric.<\/p>\n
What is the best thread count for Egyptian cotton sheets?<\/h3>\n
When it comes to Egyptian cotton, look for sheets that have a thread count between 400 to 700. A lower thread count in the 200 to 300 range can still feel quite comfortable if made with single-ply yarn, which means the thread is made up of only one fiber rather than many twisted together. Higher thread counts are often just a marketing tactic and do not feel any more comfortable than a lower thread count.<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n
Egyptian cotton sheets are widely used in hotels because of their exceptional quality, but Egyptian cotton is not designed to be enjoyed in hotels alone. People prefer Egyptian cotton sheets because they are incredibly soft in comparison to other sheets.
