Choosing the right fabric

For the production of high-quality bed linen, cotton (cotton at 100%) is considered a traditional component. It is valued for its low cost, service life, and hygroscopicity. However, cotton is also different! Egyptian cotton (Egyptian Cotton 100%) is considered elite and will last for a long time, from 40 to 50 years with proper care, which makes it the most valuable in the segment.

The most expensive bedding material is silk, an extremely soft and luxurious fabric that can last for many years if cared for, so if you decide on silk bedding, it's not worth saving for.
