As H&G's resident sleep writer, I'm often asked whether Egyptian cotton or Supima cotton makes a better material for bed sheets. I give a different answer each time, depending on who's asking. These fabrics might look similar, but I can spot a few key differences between them to suit certain sorts of sleepers.
Egyptian cotton is smooth and sumptuous, the sort of thing you'd expect to find in a high-end hotel or luxury spa. If you're looking for something a little more low-maintenance, you might be better off with Supima cotton. Woven from long staples, it's highly durable and able to withstand countless cycles in the washer and dryer.
