Different Types of Cotton Sheets
What are the different types of 100% Cotton Sheets?
Owing to climate and geography, certain regions of the world
produce better or more desirable cotton for sheet fabric.
Following is a brief description of some of the different types of
cotton:
- Pima cotton is a variety of cotton developed in the southwest US. Pima is an extra-long-staple cotton that was developed from Egyptian cotton. Pima cotton, rivaling the
quality of Egyptian Cotton, is often used to make high quality sheets. - The Nile Valley produces nearly the same breed of cotton as the US. Generally
regarded as the finest cotton fiber, this cotton is called Egyptian Cotton. The fibers are long, soft, and thick and are used to weave very high quality fabrics. Our Dreamfit 400 Thread Count Sheets are made from fine Egyptian Cotton. - “Sateen” cotton fabric can be made from any variety of cotton, and the term “sateen” refers to the type of weave used in making the fabric. With sateen fabric, the weaver stitches four threads over, one thread under, placing the most threads on the surface. This creates an extremely soft cotton fabric with a satin-like finish. Our Sealy Best Fit sheets are made with sateen cotton fabric.
