Egyptian Cotton

 Egyptian cotton comes in different thread counts. The more thread counts, the softer and stronger the cotton will be. An authentic Egyptian cotton comes in 300-to 1200-thread counts. Five-star hotels that offer Egyptian cotton sheets as covers usually buy the 800-thread count sheets for their queen and king size beds.

In some famous hotels and homes of the rich, their presidential suite rooms have 1000 to 1200 thread counts of sheets. That is why these beds are very special and very expensive as well. What makes Egyptian cotton sheets extraordinary is the quality of cotton fibers that are harvested near the Nile Delta. The soils in these areas are of the highest quality ideal for cotton plantations.
