Egyptian Cotton is the finest cotton type known today. Its smoothness, silkiness, and softness can only be matched with that of pure silk. Egyptian Cotton bedding products are the best bedding options for your bedroom. Although they are more upscale in their pricing, they are surely worth it. A major reason this fabric is expensive is that it is grown in a very limited quantity in Egypt near the Nile River Valley.
So why can the best cotton only be found in Egypt? Here are the 3 main reasons.
Nile River Valley
The first answer to this question is, of course, the Nile River Valley. This river creates the most fertile soil surrounding it, the best in the world! The extensive irrigation from this river provides the necessary nutrients needed by Egyptian Cotton, which aids in the growth of extra-long fibers. The Nile River Valley provides a constant supply of rich nutrients that are a must for the growth of this luxury cotton. The extra-long fibers create an overall finish that is smoother than any other type of available cotton.
The Perfect Climate
The second reason why Egyptian Cotton only grows in the Nile River Valley is due to Egypt’s perfect climate. Egyptian Cotton cannot grow in extreme temperatures such as winters or summers. It needs a mild and moderate temperature, one that Egypt so effortlessly provides. The climate must be stable and consistent all year round.
No Machine Harvesting
Cotton is most often machine-picked rather than hand-picked. Machine harvesting reduces the quality of the cotton, which is why other cotton fabrics are not as smooth or silky. Attentive and mindful harvesting ensures that the cotton fibers remain intact and unharmed. Hand-picked Egyptian Cotton is the reason why this fabric is so soft and luxurious.
These are the three main reasons why Egypt is the best place for growing Egyptian Cotton and why only Certified Egyptian Cotton comes from the Nile River Valley.
