Egyptian Cotton, Regular Cotton

详情

Lately, a lot of people have asked us why Egyptian cotton is considered better than regular cotton.  People want to understand the key differences 

The first thing to understand is that Egyptian cotton and Regular Cotton come from different plants. Therefore their properties can never be exactly the same.
Egyptian cotton is formed from the rich soil beside the Nile River. The moist atmosphere of the Nile River Valley makes the ideal conditions to raise long cotton fibers called staples.  Fibers from Egyptian Cotton are substantially longer than regular cotton.  So what does this mean?

Short fibers stick out at all angles and can sort of poke the skin at a microscopic level. Long fibers that are spun in a fine, thin yarn are tightly bound together in a way that keeps the fibers going in the same direction so that they rest on the skin in the most comfortable way.
