As the name suggests, Egyptian cotton is cotton grown along the Nile River in Egypt. This place boasts the most excellent quality cotton because of its optimal climate and handpicked harvesting methods. This processing setup produces cotton fibers that are soft and remain long stapled, resulting in silky smooth Egyptian cotton bed sheets which can last for years.
When we use the term bed linen we are generally referring to the sheets used to cover the mattress so that the sleeper is comfortable and the mattress is protected. If blankets or covers are being used a second sheet needs to be used for comfort between the sleeper and the roughness of the blankets. If a continental quilt is being used the top sheet is usually omitted.
