History of Egyptian Cotton
Egyptian cotton is a term applied to the extra long staple cotton produced in Egypt. Ironically, this cotton species is the same as the Native American species, and was introduced by Mohammad Ali Pasha in the early nineteenth century. During the American Civil War, Europeans purchased their cotton from Egypt, and the cotton became an important part of producing clothing in Europe. Earlier Egyptian peoples made their clothing from linen.
In recent years, Egyptian cotton has recognized a meteoric rise in popularity, particularly when it comes to bedding. Egyptian cotton is often associated with luxury and high class brands in modern times, with king Egyptian cotton sheets in constant demand for their warmth and incredible breathability.
This satin sheet is called Bridal Satin Sheet, simple because it is fabrics that are mostly found in bridal gowns. It is composed of acetate, and is a heavier, thicker, and more luxurious satin than “polyester satin”. Satin fabric is very smooth to the touch and warm. Satin is also winkle free fabric and thus fit for winter bedding. Moreover the rough surface from beneath has the anti-slip tendency so can be used without much worry. It is an ideal material for sheets because it is machine washable. Warm in winter and cool in summer. It is ideal bedding for all year around and a perfect compliment to you comforters or comforter sets.
