Why does authentic Egyptian cotton feel so good?

Throughout the past two centuries, Egyptian cotton has prevailed as one of Egypt's biggest competitive advantages in the world. With an established reputation of being the "best" cotton in the world, its softness, strength and superior characteristics, have positioned products made of Egyptian cotton as the world's finest. Egyptian cotton has not gained such a reputation without reason. Egyptian cotton "is" the world's finest cotton. Our 100% Egyptian Cotton products are 5 Star hotel quality. Super heavy weight and very soft and comfortable.

Skilled Egyptian cotton farmers, many of whom learned their craft from their parents and grandparents, carefully harvest only the very best cotton plants. Strict government controls and family pride have guaranteed strains of pure, high quality cotton for the past eight decades.

Free from pesticides and modern machinery, cotton grows stronger in Egypt than anywhere else in the world. Picking this beautiful cotton by hand results in very long strands of fiber – sometimes an inch and a half long!

Compared to the short, frayed, abused cotton strands produced by factory farms in other parts of the world, Egyptian cotton weaves into a strong, resilient, comfortable fabric.

Not only is this cotton soft and luxurious, the high thread count produces a sheet that is both smooth and durable. It even feels cool to the touch, especially when you’re ready to relax at the end of a long day.

Once you add real Egyptian Cotton Sheets to your bedroom, you’ll never replace them with anything else.

Our Luxury Products

At long last, the same high-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets from the world most exclusive resorts can be yours, for less than the cost of so-called “luxury” bed linens at major department stores.

Our high thread count Egyptian cotton sheets rival the linens you will find in the world’s most exclusive settings.

For years, we have measured the softness and the quality of cotton sheets by counting the number of threads in a single square inch of fabric. Most consumers tolerate bed sheets with a thread count of only 180. Finer sheet sets boast “luxury” thread counts of 300 or 360.

We, on the other hand, carry extraordinary bed linens that boast as high as 800 threads of pure, Egyptian cotton in every square inch.

Until recently, only top hotels and wealthy individuals could access suppliers of thread counts higher than 400. In fact, many four-star and five-star resorts actually use their remarkable bed linens as selling points.

Think about the last time you enjoyed a night’s sleep in a luxury hotel. Did you catch yourself, like most of us, waking with a true feeling of rest and relaxation, reveling in the feel of fine cotton?

Now, imagine how relaxed and rested you’ll feel every single morning when you wake up after a glorious night of sleep in your very own bed with your very own Egyptian cotton sheets.

Experts count the number of threads in a single square inch of fabric to measure the quality and the softness of cotton sheets. Many Americans settle for bed sheets with thread counts of only 180 or 200, mostly because we don’t know any better. Some folks pay more for finer sheet sets that boast thread counts of 300 or even 360.

Until recently, you had to check into a four- or five-star hotel to experience truly luxurious bed sheets, with thread counts of 600 or more. Imagine yourself between the sheets at one of the world’s top resorts. How many things in life feel more decadent than the touch of cool, crisp, smooth hotel sheets against your skin?

Because durable bed linens with high thread counts actually grow softer and smoother with repeated washings, these hotels actually save money in the long run by investing in the highest quality sheets they can find!

With so few people exposed to the true indulgence of high quality Egyptian cotton sheets, retailers kept prices high enough to scare off most consumers, while raking in tremendous profits. We, on the other hand, think you deserve the best.

FAQ @ Royal Egyptian Cotton

How do I care for my Egyptian cotton linens?

Why do so many people prefer Real Egyptian Cotton to other fabrics for their bed linens?
Real Egyptian Cotton, when woven into a quality, high-thread-count fabric, creates an indulgent sensation for your skin. It feels cool to the touch, even in warm rooms. It’s easy to care for, and actually feels even more luxurious after repeated washings.

Only the relatively high cost of Real Egyptian Cotton sheets has kept this remarkable fabric out of most homes – a problem we hope to solve by connecting our customers directly to manufacturers of the world’s highest quality bed linens.


Does your cotton really come from Egypt?

Certainly. Our manufacturers around the world work with farms in the delta region of the Nile Valley. True aficionados recognize the cotton from this region as among the best in the world. Our customers would instantly identify anything of inferior quality


I suffer from allergies. Can I safely place Real Egyptian Cotton sheets on my bed?
We can assure you that authentic Egyptian Cotton sheets, especially the products we sell, will provide unprecedented ease and comfort in your home. The soft, tightly woven fibers feel smooth and comfortable, even next to the most sensitive skin. Our durable sheet sets resist stains well, and require only mild detergents to retain their look and feel.

What does “thread count” mean, and why does it make a difference?

We literally count the number of threads in each square inch of your Real Egyptian Cotton sheet sets. In typical sheets on the shelves of most American discount stores, the thread count rarely tops 200. Even with soft cotton fibers, a low thread count leaves lots of space between threads. Look at one of your own sheets or cotton t-shirts closely, and you’ll see what we mean.

Resorts and luxury hotels tolerate nothing less than 800 thread count sheets. Not only do they let guests feel pampered, they hold up well under daily washings. By using the Internet to connect our customers directly to the manufacturers of these hotel-quality bed linens, we can finally put sheets with luxuriously high thread counts into the home of the average consumer.


Will your sheets fit my mattress?

Our most discerning customers have told us about the challenges they face when shopping for quality bed linens. Today’s most luxurious specialty mattresses can stand as high as eighteen inches above the bed frame!

That’s why our manufacturers have created fitted sheets that generously cover today’s largest mattresses, without resorting to clips or cables. Whether your mattress features a built-in pad or you use a bed-topper, we guarantee that our sheets will fit or you can return them for a refund of your purchase price.

Our authentic Egyptian Cotton top sheets drape generously over all sides of your bed, letting you decide whether you want to be tucked in tight or swaddled in rolls of comfortable cotton.

How will I know whether a towel will dry well?

Have you ever been disappointed by a dripping towel that never seems to get you dry? Too many towel manufacturers have tried to imitate the feel of Egyptian Cotton by shaving down terry cloth loops into a kind of velour. Though this kind of towel may look fantastic in your guest bathroom, you may need more than a few of them to get dry.

Let us delight you with our Egyptian Cotton towel sets. The soft feel of our true Egyptian cotton towels caress your skin as they dry you off quickly. That’s because the tiny loops of fabric do all the work. They pull water off of your skin and onto your towel. The more loops per square inch, the faster you get dry and our towels are free from harsh chemicals so they are gentle on your skin.
