Egyptian Cotton- Is It Really Worth It..?
November 12, 2009
The deal is that the fibers that make up the yarn for your bed linens would be longer- and stronger as well. Egyptian cotton fibers tend to be about 1 and 3/8″ long, whereas regular cotton fibers tend to be around one inch. Oh..I almost forgot… the Supima fibers are still more than an inch long..a very close second generally to its Egyptian cousin.
So why is this so important..? A longer, stronger fiber will keep it’s strength and is easier to work with. The result is a softer, stronger fabric for your bedding. The reason why it tends to be more expensive is that there’s not as much of it grown or available as regular cottons. And this bedding lasts longer, is softer and more in demand. Don’t let the idea of that scare you off though! You’ll find some excellent deals for Egyptian cotton bed linens online, where intense competition for your business makes you the winner!
The fact is, that even just regular cotton sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers will work perfectly fine for a while! Just be sure to wash warm and don’t dry them on high and you’ll get more use out of them. But when you’re ready to pamper yourself…I mean spoil yourself rotten then you’ll need to try that Egyptian or Supima cotton! =)
