Egyptian Cotton BenefitsWhen buying Egyptian cotton sheets, there are a couple things you should know. The first is to understand the differences in thread counts. The second is that some sheets labelled as Egyptian cotton are really made from cotton blends. If you want the real thing, look for sheets that state that they are made from 100% cotton. Pure cotton sheets will cost a lot more than a blended fabric, but they will be of a much higher quality. However, like most things, you get what you pay for. A cheaper set of Egyptian cotton sheets are likely to be made from a blend of fibres. These sheets will still be nice to use, but you won’t get the full quality and feeling that Egyptian cotton is known for you. There is no substitution for pure Egyptian cotton bed sheets. Egyptian cotton is known for its ability to create extra long staples, or fibres. These fibres can produce thread that is thinner than other cottons because of their longer length. Thinner threads result in higher thread counts. Thread counts measure the number of threads in one square inch of material. The higher the thread count is, the more luxurious the linen will feel. Because the threads in Egyptian cotton sheets are longer and closer together, the sheets can last for decades, if they are properly cared for. You can expect these sheets to last forty to fifty years, or more. It is simple to examine thread count experimentally. Hold the sheets up to the light, if you can see through the fabric and make out the actual weave, you’ve got a low thread count on your hands. The higher the thread count the softer and more lustrous the fabric, and the more durable and less prone to shrinkage.
