When one thinks of comfortable and luxurious bed sheets, one often thinks of high quality cotton sheets. Not just any high quality cotton sheets, however, but Egyptian cotton sheets to be more precise. Why not American Pima, Sea Island, Asiatic, or Upland cotton? After all, these other commercially grown types of cotton are also prominent and sought after. However, there is little doubt that Egyptian cotton sits atop the heap - the gold standard by which luxurious beddings and linens and comfortable clothing are measured, and probably the best known to consumers. Can it be simply marketing at its best or is there more to Egyptian cotton?
Egyptian cotton, like all other cotton, is a tropical plant and needs lots of sunshine and moderate rainfall to thrive.
