For centuries, Egyptian Cotton has been renowned for its
immeasurable quality and superiority against all other cottons and fabrics. Aficionados
of comfort and quality will likely own at least one item made from Egyptian
cotton, whether it be towels, robes, pyjamas or, perhaps more commonly, Egyptian
cotton sheets Australia But, have you ever asked why Egyptian cotton is so
widely revered?
The first, and primary difference between regular and Egyptian
cotton is the fact that they come from different plants, making the properties
of each very different. Secondly, Egyptian Cotton is grown exclusively in the
moist atmosphere of the River Nile. The moist conditions make the atmosphere
ideal for growing long cotton fibres, known as “staples”. These staples are
significantly longer than regular cotton fibres, meaning there are
substantially fewer splices, making the threads a lot stronger. Extra long
fibres also allow us to turn them into very fine yarn, which is a lot softer
than regular cotton varieties.
As we are able to make yarn a lot finer than we can with regular
cotton, we can then stack them more thread counts into each square inch. As is
traditionally understood, the higher the thread count, the more durable the
fabric. As such, Egyptian cotton sheets Australia tend to last a lot longer
than regular cotton sheets.

sheet sets, pillowcases, and cot sheet sets; so your baby rests just as
