Egyptian cotton comes from a different plant (Gossypium Barbadense) to regular cotton, which is why it has different and superior properties. Egyptian cotton has extra long fibres which produce thread or yarns that are thinner and smaller in diameter yet stronger than other cottons. This means that the threads can be woven into a luxurious durable fabric that no other cotton can match.
Caring for Bed Sheets: Regular washing is vital. Depending on the material, most bed sheets should be washed in warm or cool water with a gentle detergent and either air-dried or tumble dried on a low setting. Avoid harsh chemicals or high heat, as they can break down fibers.

Percale sheets (pronounced “per-kail”) are made with cotton. These have a plain weave — one yarn over, one yarn under — that creates a matte, crisp finish. These sheets get softer with each wash and are best for hot sleepers and warm weather. They aren’t wrinkle-resistant, so it’s best to remove them from the dryer immediately following the end of the cycle.
But when was the duvet invented? No one really knows.
