Sapphire collection 800 Thread Count Pure Egyptian Cotton Super Soft Hotel Quality 28 CM/11 Inch Deep Fitted Bed Sheet (Double Fitted Sheet)

Product Information

After testing the most popular Egyptian cotton sheets, we definitely recommend the Parachute Percale Sheet Set as the best choice for most people. It stood out for its exceptionally soft feel, breathable material, and durability—even after months of machine-washing. But for a more affordable option, we were very impressed by the Chateau Home Collection Egyptian Cotton Sheets. There was no compromise on softness or durability and they have a rich-feeling sateen weave. Other Options We Tested You may spend more for Egyptian cotton sheets than other types of sheets, but the good news is that with proper care, these sheets can last for years. “If the sewing quality at the edges is good, and they are not washed or dried at a temperature over 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) then these sheets should last a good 10 years or more,” says Clarke.

We are a brand born of a love for the beauty of restraint in design, the inherent grace of feminine strength, and the necessity to treat our environment and each other with love and respect. Clarke suggests that shoppers don’t get overly hung up on thread count, which is sometimes an overcompensation if the manufacturer is using poor quality cotton fibers. But for Egyptian cotton sheets made from quality, long-staple fibers, Clarke suggests shopping for sheets with a thread count between 300 and 500.

Product Q&A

Percale sheets have a 1:1 weave, with the horizontal fibers overlapping a single vertical fiber. A sateen sheet has a 3:1 weave, where the horizontal fibers overlap three fibers. In practical terms, this means that an Egyptian cotton sateen sheet has a tighter weave with a smoother feel and an attractive sheen, while a percale sheet has a more breathable weave with a crisp texture and matte finish—like a button down shirt, according to Clarke. Will add a contemporary style to any bedroom setting and feels wonderfully soft and opulent to sleep beneath. Fitted Sheet Sizes

Always read the care label to determine the best way to launder Egyptian cotton sheets. But generally speaking, you can wash your sheets in the washing machine. Experts suggest that you wash them with cold water on a gentle cycle to keep them in tip-top shape. According to textile expert Deborah Young, "Hot water cleans best, but it's a trade off. It cleans better but it also shrinks more." That's why Young recommends washing on cold. Hot water also leads to more wrinkles when dry.
