Why do so many people prefer
Real Egyptian Cotton to other fabrics for their
bed linens?
Real Egyptian Cotton, when woven into a
quality, high-thread-count fabric, creates an
indulgent sensation for your skin. It feels cool
to the touch, even in warm rooms. It's easy to
care for, and actually feels even more luxurious
after repeated washings.
Only the relatively high cost of Real Egyptian
Cotton sheets has kept this remarkable fabric
out of most homes - a problem we hope to solve
by connecting our customers directly to
manufacturers of the world's highest quality bed
linens.

Does your cotton really come
from Egypt?
Certainly. Our manufacturers around the
world work with farms in the delta region of the
Nile Valley . True aficionados recognize the
cotton from this region as among the best in the
world. Our customers would instantly identify
anything of inferior quality.

I suffer from allergies. Can
I safely place Real Egyptian Cotton sheets on my
bed?
We can assure you that authentic Egyptian
Cotton sheets, especially the products we sell,
will provide unprecedented ease and comfort in
your home. The soft, tightly woven fibers feel
smooth and comfortable, even next to the most
sensitive skin. Our durable sheet sets resist
stains well, and require only mild detergents to
retain their look and feel.

What does "thread count"
mean, and why does it make a difference?
Jewelers measure the quality of a diamond
not only by its size but by its clarity. Quality
sheet sets are very much the same, with thread
count indicating the density of the fabric in
your bed linens.
We literally count the number of threads in each
square inch of your Real Egyptian Cotton sheet
sets. In typical sheets on the shelves of most
American discount stores, the thread count
rarely tops 200. Even with soft cotton fibers, a
low thread count leaves lots of space between
threads. Look at one of your own sheets or
cotton t-shirts closely, and you'll see what we
mean.
Resorts and luxury hotels tolerate nothing less
than 800 thread count sheets. Not only do they
let guests feel pampered, they hold up well
under daily washings. By using the Internet to
connect our customers directly to the
manufacturers of these hotel-quality bed linens,
we can finally put sheets with luxuriously high
thread counts into the home of the average
consumer.

Will your sheets fit my
mattress?
Our most discerning customers have told us
about the challenges they face when shopping for
quality bed linens. Today's most luxurious
specialty mattresses can stand as high as
eighteen inches above the bed frame!
That's why our manufacturers have created fitted
sheets that generously cover today's largest
mattresses, without resorting to clips or
cables. Whether your mattress features a
built-in pad or you use a bed-topper, we
guarantee that our sheets will fit or you can
return them for a refund of your purchase price.
Our authentic Egyptian Cotton top sheets drape
generously over all sides of your bed, letting
you decide whether you want to be tucked in
tight or swaddled in rolls of comfortable
cotton.

How will I know whether a
towel will dry well?
Have you ever been disappointed by a dripping
towel that never seems to get you dry? Too many
towel manufacturers have tried to imitate the
feel of Egyptian Cotton by shaving down terry
cloth loops into a kind of velour. Though this
kind of towel may look fantastic in your guest
bathroom, you may need more than a few of them
to get dry.
Let us delight you with our Egyptian Cotton
towel sets. The soft feel of our true Egyptian
cotton towels caress your skin as they dry you
off quickly. That's because the tiny loops of
fabric do all the work. They pull water off of
your skin and onto your towel. The more loops
per square inch, the faster you get dry and our
towels are free from harsh chemicals so they are
gentle on your skin.

How do I care for my Egyptian
cotton linens?
Our Egyptian
cotton sheets are easy to care for:
If you have never indulged yourself with a set
of quality Egyptian Cotton Sheets, you'll be
delighted to see how your new bed linens
actually become even softer and more luxurious
over time, an appealing feature for those with
allergies or sensitive skin.
Simply wash your matched set on its own or with
like colors, in cold water. Since bleach can
damage your sheets use a mild detergent by
itself. You can tumble dry on low heat, or hang
your sheets on a line.
You may find your Egyptian Cotton sheets a
little stiff in the beginning. However, the more
you wash them the softer they will become. A
warm iron will help soften the feel as well.
