Product Description:

Simply Bedding Egyptian Cotton Full Bedding Set

Experience the luxury of Egyptian cotton bedding at a fraction of the high street price and sleep soundly night after night in this top of the range bed linen that is both soft and durable. All our Egyptian cotton bed linen is manufactured from 100% long staple yarn, Egyptian cotton, which is widely considered the King of Linen.

The Full Set is designed to provide your bedding requirements in one handy package. Consisting of a Duvet cover, flat sheet, fitted sheet and two pillow cases all made from the finest bed linen fabric, Egyptian Cotton.

All our bed linen is manufactured to a very high standard falling into the Percale category which is wildly recognised as the best Egyptian Cotton Available. We have also used a sateen strip which helps to soften the Egyptian Cotton even further.

What is TC (Thread Count)?

The thread count is the number of threads in a square inch of fabric. This is achieved by measuring the number of threads in the Warp (length) and the weft (width). The most popular cottons will be around 95/110, while good quality sheets will start at 180. Anything above 200 brings you into the luxury “percale” range.

The thread count is also influenced by the construction and quality of the yarn used. With finer threads, such as Egyptian Cotton, more threads can be woven into a square inch, which produces a finer fabric. This insulates the body by retaining air, but allowing the moisture to pass freely through.

It is well to be wary of marketing claims of very high thread counts, sometimes up to 500. These claims are made by twisting lower quality fine gossamer threads to achieve the high numbers for customers, who may, understandably, buy on thread count alone.

Washing Instructions:

Home laundering is recommended for all of our linens. We would recommend that you wash all linens before use and avoid washing with Polyester fabrics. This is because Polyester is prone to pilling, and these pills can stick to the natural fibers and reduce the sheen of your linen.

Bed Linen should be washed in warm water (no higher than 40C), using a gentle detergent followed by a cold rinse. Do not use excessive amounts of washing detergent, as this can clog the fibers. Unless they are very soiled, your linen will be just as clean with a smaller amount of detergent. Remove from the washing machine straight away to avoid wrinkles.

Why buy Egyptian Cotton?:

Egyptian cotton has become wildly popular for bedding in recent years. Why exactly? Does it really matter?

It was thought for ages that cotton was cotton and thread count was king when choosing quality sheets. That is no longer true. Consumer guidelines for buying bedding suggest that cotton from Egypt is superior to other cotton. Is this true and, if so, what is the big difference?

Egyptian cottons are used to create bedding of all types from sheets to pillowcases to comforters. The long staple or long fiber of Egyptian cotton means that there is more continuous fiber to use when creating threads or yarns. This yarn is smaller in diameter yet stronger than other cottons. Smaller yarn means that more threads per square inch can be use to create stronger fabric which is light in weight yet breathes well.

More threads per inch mean that the thread count on the bedding label will be higher. Many buyers think that choosing high thread count sheets is the only gauge of quality. This is not true, but in the case of Egyptian Cotton, the higher thread count means the fabric will be incredibly strong and will last for years and years. If cared for properly, Egyptian cotton fabric used for creating bedding products can last for decades.

The hand or feel of the sheets created from Egyptian cotton is a bit harder than other cottons when the bedding is new. However, with every single laundering, the cotton sheets from Egyptian fibers become softer and softer. Like a fine wine, age improves the Egyptian fiber cotton bedding and, unlike many products, you will prize your Egyptian fiber sheets of cotton more and more as they age and become soft and cuddly.

Egyptian Cotton will also produce less lint and therefore will not pill after repeated washings as some materials may do. At one time, the only way to obtain Egyptian fiber cotton sheets was to shop in high-end expensive stores. This is no longer true as we at Simply Bedding specialise in Luxury Bedding and therefore can bring it to you and affordable prices.

King Cotton was once the name for the cotton grown in the Deep South of the United States. This cotton has much shorter fibers or staple than the Egyptian Cotton. Egyptian Cotton fiber is now considered the king of all cottons for its durability and luxurious feel. After all, we spend almost one-third of our lives in our beds and our bedding should be comfortable and durable. Choosing the right sheets made from the king of cotton, Egyptian Cotton fibers, you will experience a bed that is comfortable and cozy.

A word of caution regarding bedding labels: if the package says "cotton rich" the actual amount of cotton, whether Egyptian or other cotton, is not stated and can be a very small amount. It is better to select products that state 100% Egyptian cotton or, if choosing a blend fabric, that clearly state the exact proportion of cotton in the bedding. This will ensure your product composition is one that you will be pleased with.

If the package says "percale", this means that the thread count is at least 180 count. Many people believe that percale is a fabric type in its own right. This isn't the case at all; it simply means the thread count is 180 or more. Percale can be 100% cotton or a blend of cotton and other fibers!

Egyptian remains King of the cotton world today and will retain that crown for many years into the future.

You'll find this long staple cotton used in sheets by many different designers and can enjoy this Egyptian luxury, suitable for the kings and pharaohs in your very own home!
