<h2 class=”hh1″>EGYPTIAN COTTON VS<br />
REGULAR COTTON</h2>
<p class=”main-text white top”>For centuries, Egyptian cotton has been considered the best in the world. Nowadays the name doesn’t tend to refer to where it is grown but instead the type of threads produced. But what makes Egyptian cotton different from the rest?</p><a href=”https://www.kingofcotton.com/section.php/6/1/egyptian_cotton_bedlinen” target=”_blank” class=”button w-button”>Shop Egyptian Cotton Bed Linen</a></div></div>

<h2 class=”hh2″>WHAT IS EGYPTIAN COTTON?</h2></div>
<p class=”main-text”>The main difference being that both regular cotton and Egyptian cotton come from different plants so their properties are never going to be the same.</p>

<div class=”column-2 w-col w-col-6″>
<p class=”main-text para left _1″>Egyptian cotton is hand picked so puts less stress on the fibres, leaving them straight and intact. These fibres can be made longer to create very fine yarns which make it possible to make yarns without sacrificing the length, giving stronger and softer cotton, unlike regular cotton which has more splices.</p></div>
<div class=”column w-col w-col-6″>
<p class=”main-text para left _2″>Since pure Egyptian cotton consists of finer threads, they can be woven into each square inch and produce a finer and more consistent finish, ending up as a softer and more flexible fabric. As well as this, since they’ve not been picked by machines the fibres are stronger and more resistant to stress.</p></div></div></div></div>

<h2 class=”hh2″>IS IT WORTH CHOOSING EGYPTIAN COTTON?</h2></div>
<p class=”main-text white”>Fabrics made of Egyptian Cotton are softer, finer and last longer than any other cotton so are worth putting the slight extra bit of money into. Since finer yarns mean a higher thread count, the weave of the fabric is significantly stronger and lasts a lot longer than regular cotton. It’s always worth noticing the thread count when choosing which to buy; the higher the thread count, the higher the quality so the more durable and soft your bed sheets.</p>

<p class=”main-text para left _1 white”>As well as this, Egyptian cotton guarantees the highest levels of purity so has the ability to absorb liquids – meaning deeper, brighter and more resistant coloured fabrics to add that extra pop of colour into your room.</p></div>
<div class=”column w-col w-col-6″>
<p class=”main-text para left _2 white”>It is also said that Egyptian cotton is better for those who struggle to sleep, this being because the fabric is more porous therefore air can pass through – avoiding that stuffy feeling at night.</p></div></div></div></div>
