Egyptian Cotton Bedding
Egyptian cotton is the hallmark of luxury bedding. Made from an extra long staple cotton, our products use only the best quality yarns from extra long staple cotton from the Nile Delta area of Egypt. Egypt has a unique climate. The rich soil of the Nile Delta coupled with the year round moderate climate make it ideally suited for cotton plantations. The Egyptian people take great pride in their cotton and consider it an integral part of their culture. The Egyptian Department of Agriculture strictly controls the cotton industry to insure that all cotton meets the highest standards, "Barbadense" cotton, the variety grown in Egypt, has extremely long fibers. These "long staple" fibers are often 1.5 inches long. Egyptian cotton is picked and processed by hand to prevent these valuable fibers from being damaged by machinery. The threads made from these fibers are finer, stronger and softer than other cottons. The products manufactured from these superior threads become the finest, softest and most luxurious clothes and linens in the world. |
