<h2 class=”hh2 white”>Egyptian Cotton Vs. Pima Cotton</h2>
<div class=”w-row”>
<div class=”column-10 w-col w-col-6″>
<h2 class=”hh3″>Quality</h2>
<p class=”main-text white _1″>In most cases, quality directly corresponds to the cost. Egyptian cotton is made from the highest quality long-staple fibre. It’s strong, soft and resistant to stress and pilling. The cotton becomes even softer with each wash and usage. Egyptian cotton comes with a high price tag, but with proper care, it can last years and even offset the initial high investment. Pima cotton, on the other hand, comes with many of the properties similar to Egyptian cotton but is considered to be a secondary material. It’s 35% longer and absorbs colour better than normal cotton and is more lustrous and softer. <br />

<div class=”column-9 w-col w-col-6″>
<h2 class=”hh3″>Care &amp; Appearance</h2>
<p class=”main-text white _1″>Both kinds of cotton are machine-washable with no degradation to the material. <br />
<br />
Egyptian cotton can handle wash temperature of up to 40 degree Celsius while Pima cotton can be washed to 60 degree Celsius. The Egyptian cotton touch is tremendously soft and smooth while Pima is just as soft boasting a high absorbency rate. <br />
‍<br />
Understanding the differences between the two will help you choose the right one for you.<br />
