What is so special about Egyptian cotton?

Egyptian cotton is known as the finest cotton in the world and is highly durable and soft. It is made to perfection while ensuring no fibre is damaged and has been long used to make bath towels, duvets, blankets and bedsheets. This is why bath towels that have been made from this stunning material are highly popular throughout the world.

Why does the thread count matter?

Like with most bath towels and bedding, the quality all depends on its thread count number. Essentially; the higher number of thread count determines how soft and luxurious the product will be.

Different types of thread count:

• 120-180: This is the ‘starting range’ in terms of thread count.

• 200: This thread count indicates very thin and lightweight cotton.
• 400: This thread count is the most widely available and found high-end establishments such as hotels and resorts. This thread count is very soft yet durable.
• Over 600: This thread count indicates luxury and superior quality. The finest bath towels and bedding products are made from Egyptian cotton with a thread count of over 600.

So, what are the benefits of using Sheridan Egyptian cotton towels?

Strong and durable

Ordinary bath towels become worn out quickly with constant use, while bath towels made from Egyptian cotton become better over time. These bath towels will last for many years and get softer with each use. This is why purchasing bath towels made from Egyptian cotton will give you incredible value for money in the long-run.

Organic and chemical-free

Egyptian cotton bath towels are free from any harmful chemical and completely organic. Their cotton has been grown without using toxins, meaning they are the perfect choice for people that suffer from various allergies and skin conditions.

Incredibly soft

Egyptian cotton is one of the softest materials available. Because they will become fluffier and softer as they age, they are ideal for sensitive skin. The high absorbency of the material will ensure your bath towels retain their softness for many years to come.

Breathable and absorbent

Egyptian cotton is also known for being much more breathable than other types of cotton materials. Because of its highly absorbent qualities, Egyptian cotton bath towels dry very quickly, even if left in the bathroom after a bath or shower, they will dry very quickly.

So, what makes our beautiful bed linen stand out from the rest? Here is information on just some of our stunning fabrics and weaves.

Our types of fabric:

Egyptian cotton

When it comes to the best bedding materials in the world, Egyptian cotton takes the throne. Its exquisite thread and tight weave will ensure luxurious and eye-catching bedding that will last for years to come.

>        Egyptian cotton is made featuring a close weave, is delicately lightweight and soft to the touch – yet extremely strong and durable. It also doesn’t require much ironing.

>        Not only does Egyptian cotton become softer over time but it is also highly breathable, a bonus during the hot Australia summer. This material is a lot less likely to produce lint or pill (form small balls made of ‘fluff’ on the surface).

100% Cotton

As the most used type of fabric, cotton is easy to wash, extremely comfortable and highly durable.

>        One of the best qualities of cotton is that it is hypoallergenic. It won’t irritate the skin, is highly breathable and is ideal for people that suffer from various allergies such as hay fever.

>        Cotton provides a soft and delicate feel.

>        It is affordable and low maintenance, yet still provides the quality of higher-end fabrics.

Polycotton

Combing the strengths of polyester and cotton, polycotton is a durable and comfortable material that is suitable all year around.

>        Not only is it easy to maintain and wash, but polycotton also dries quicker than other fabrics, guaranteeing the bed sheets will be dry and warm by bed time after a late afternoon wash.

>        Ideal for summer, polycotton retains the moisture-wicking properties of cotton. This means that any moisture won’t soak through the fabric.

Our types of weaves:

Jacquard

This stunningly beautiful weave is created by weaving two or more colours together. A jacquard weave is perfect for tying the interior décor of the bedroom together.

>        A jacquard weave is woven using very fine threads to create a high thread count.

>        Featuring a pattern of raised warped threads, it is a tactile alternative to printed bed sheets.

Damask

Featuring a reversible function, damask weaves produce a beautiful and traditional style.

>        A damask weave is tightly woven and typically woven using a single warp with either one or two weft colours.

>        The damask weave has remained unchanged due to its incredibly popular design and appearance.

Choosing the right sizing

If the wrong cushion insert is chosen, the pillow will appear ‘bulky’ and cheap, which is why we provide a range of pillow inserts. Our range includes nine different sizing options from 30 x 30cm up to 70cm x 70cm. If you are wanting a ‘relaxed’ look to blend in with the décor, it is recommended to match the cushion insert according to the size of your pillow case. For a ‘plumper’ appearance, it is recommended to select a cushion insert one size up from the pillowcase.

Premium quality

Our cushion inserts are made from premium materials including duck down, duck feather and contain 100% cotton down proof fabric, making them hypoallergenic for people that suffer from allergies. They are made to order and feature luxurious Danish Eiderdowns quality.

Quick and easy to insert

Here is a quick step-by-step process to ensure your cushion insert fits perfectly:

• Open the pillowcase all the way
• Grab a cushion insert corner and ease into the pillow case to one side.
• Then grab the other corner and repeat.
• Now gradually manoeuvre the insert into the pillow case. Be careful not to be forceful otherwise the stitching may tear.
• Ensure that the top corners of the cushion insert have gone fully into the pillow case’s corners.
• Make sure that everything is in place by gently pressing down on the pillow. Then start slowly closing the pillow case while ensuring that the insert does not move out of place when closing.

Choosing the right pillow case
