Beyond Know How

If your after some great luxury bedding then make sure take a close look at the cotton used. Almost all luxurious bedding will use extra long staple cotton (ELS cotton). ELS cotton is a fibre that is longer and finer than other types of cotton. Therefore when sheets and bedding are created from ELS cotton it creates a stronger and finer feeling fabric.

There are three types of ELS cotton, Pima, Supima, and Egyptian cotton. Pima cotton is generic ELS cotton that comes from any variety and any region. Supima cotton is ELS cotton from the USA, and Egyptian cotton is ELS cotton from Egypt. If your after the very best luxury bedding then Egyptian cotton is what you want. Egyptian cotton is a variety that produces a much more luxurious and gentle fabric and is therefore used worldwide by well known brands.

When searching for you luxurious bedding always ensure its ELS cotton and preferably Egyptian cotton.
