Comfort Cotton

I had my very first Egyptian cotton sheets last year. My husband and I were newly married and my parents-in-law gave it as a gift to us. It was one of the best gifts because it was indeed very comfortable to use. Imagine sleeping on clouds, it was that comfortable. I couldn’t part with it even when it’s time it wash it already.

But I recently discovered something new. My friend told me that if my sheet has a 1500 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets, which the one I currently have doesn’t have, it would be more comfortable. So I tried to buy one after saving up because it’s not that cheap. When we tried sleeping on it, it was true. The larger the thread count is, the more comfortable it becomes.

As more and more people switch to Egyptian cotton bedding and never look back, skeptics wonder what makes that particular material so great. The easy answer is that Egyptian cotton bedding are just plain softer, but there’s a more detailed explanation as well. The secret has very little to do with thread count in finished garments and everything to do with the cotton fiber itself.
Egyptian-grown cotton has a naturally longer fiber than most other varieties, including those grown domestically. This lends increased strength and durability to sheets and other bedding. At first touch, brand-new 100 Egyptian cotton sheets feel slightly coarse. A few trips through the laundry machine turn them feathery soft and imminently comfortable.

Gift giving should be fun, especially for newlyweds. Even if you are a big fan of Egyptian sheets, it doesn’t mean that it would always be a good idea to give them as gifts. Thus, it is very important that you take into consideration the needs and preference of the newlyweds before shopping gifts for them.

Here are some sound ideas that you can consider to come up with the perfect gift for the bride and the groom.

• Check bridal registry where the bride and the groom have enlisted their desired gifts.
• Know the bride and groom’s common interest. Like if they love to travel, maybe a his and hers travel luggage would be a great idea.
• Choose a gift that incorporates the theme of the wedding for added consistency.
• Coordinate the gifts chosen by common friends to avoid giving identical gifts.

Cotton may be made of Egyptian fiber. Cotton may be organically grown. It can be made of organically grown Egyptian fiber. This is the kind of material that Egyptian cotton sheet sets are made of. The long threads insure durability. It will not disintegrate easily.

Egyptian cotton sheets gained wide acceptance for this reason. Not only are the fibers longer, they are also stronger. This makes the fabric more solid and resistant to stress. It is a very absorbent material making it accept deeper, brighter and more resistant colors. No wonder Egyptian cotton sheet sets are very attractive.

During one conference in Los Angeles, one of the activities our company organized was a trip around the filthy rich area of Beverly Hills. Being from New York, of course the sizes of the houses there seem very massive to me. They probably have thousands of square feet of living space there whereas I have about four hundred square feet in the city.

But I’m sure the rich of Beverly Hills and the rich of New York City have it the same. Their cars are Jaguars and Bentleys and their beddings are 1000 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets. Actually the ones who own the pretty houses in Beverly Hills also own the equally fabulous houses in Park Avenue. Told you, it’s the same.
