Egyptian Cotton

Why A Specialty Retailer May Be The Best Choice

In this 4 part series, we have discussed the relative pros & cons of purchasing Egyptian Cotton sheets from online auctions, discount retailers and local discount warehouses. The real question is:

When you’re shopping for 100% Egyptian Cotton Sheet Sets, is an online or local specialty retailer worth the extra money? I believe the answer is yes and here are several reasons why.

Quality:

Specialty shops stake their reputation on selling high quality products. That’s how they differentiate themselves from their less expensive competition. Because Egyptian Cotton sheets are so much more durable, you won’t need to replace them as quickly and may even save money in the long run.

Consistency:

Because specialty shops “specialize”, they establish long-term relationships with a few reliable suppliers who can supply exactly the same product month after month, year after year. If your 2 year old finds Mom’s lipstick and starts coloring on the pillowcases, you can probably get a exact replacement pillowcase from a specialty shop without having to replace the whole set. (Try doing that at your local warehouse!)

Selection:

A specialty shop is more likely to have your bed size in stock, particularly if you have one of the less popular sizes. They probably will also offer a wider range of thread counts and colors to fit your needs and budget. Specialty shops usually carry a selection of accessories designed to match their Egyptian Cotton sheet Sets including duvet covers, bed skirts and extra pillowcases.

When you consider that you spend up to 1/3 of your life in bed… you owe it to yourself… buy the best sheets you can afford. Buy 100% Egyptian Cotton sheets - the Gold Standard by which all cotton sheets are measured.
