When investing in the right bedding, it’s important to choose sheets that are made with quality materials for long-lasting comfort without the need to replace as often. Sheets made with 100% Egyptian cotton provide softness, luxury, and breathability for increased longevity. Find out why Egyptian cotton is so durable and can withstand many years of use. 

What is Egyptian Cotton?

Hand-picked from the Nile River valley in Egypt, Egyptian cotton is made up of extremely rare, extra soft cotton fibers which results in an extra durable fabric. Because of the strength and durability of these fibers, Egyptian cotton sheets can last a lifetime if cared for properly. Take a look at the many factors that contribute to the increased longevity of Egyptian cotton bedding.

Extra-Long Staple Cotton Fibers

Egyptian cotton has long fibers, known as extra-long staple (ELS) cotton. These fibers can be spun into finer, stronger yarns that are less likely to break or pill. The length of these fibers also allows for tighter, smoother weaves, which increases fabric strength and reduces wear over time. Short staple fibers, typically used in traditional cotton or other materials like bamboo and polyester, are prone to breakage over time after washing which can deteriorate the fabric and lead to constant replacements. Because of the long nature of the Egyptian cotton fibers, it is more likely that you will not need to replace your sheets as often.

High Breathability

Egyptian cotton is naturally breathable and has excellent moisture-wicking properties. It doesn’t trap sweat or oils, which can degrade fabric over time. This helps the material maintain its quality and comfort over years of use. Regardless of the type of weave, Egyptian cotton will keep you comfortable any time of year with the breathable nature of the fibers. While high breathability is extremely important when it comes to how long your sheets will last, it is crucial that you routinely wash your sheets weekly to remove any sweat, dust or dead skin cells that build up. 

Superior Softness

Egyptian cotton tends to become softer with each wash, enhancing the user experience and encouraging people to keep the sheets longer rather than replace them due to discomfort or wear. The softness that comes with this rare fabric is able to withstand constant use and washes and can even get softer over time which can enhance the lifespan and reduce the need to buy new sheets.
