To remedy this issue, one must be vigilant in inquiring where one's cotton originated, where it was milled, and how and where the product was finished. When touching cotton vs Egyptian cotton item, a "regular" cotton item will not feel as soft to the touch, rather coarse and possibly grainy, while an Egyptian cotton item will be softer and more smooth. If it is a luxury bedding item such as a sheet, the genuine Egyptian cotton high thread count sheet will be less light transparent than its non-Egyptian, cotton cousin. Also, if the product is milled and finished in Italy, for instance, odds are better that one is receiving a quality luxury bedding product.

Quality is truly the determining factor when it comes to cotton vs Egyptian cotton. Considering the amount of time people spend in bed, roughly one third of their lives, luxury bedding will always be a wise investment. Now, more than ever, a savvy shopper will want to do the homework when buying luxury bedding. While cotton costs may or may not continue to increase, genuine luxury bedding quality can only be imitated, never duplicated. Invest smartly and resist the temptation to settle for anything less than true luxury bedding material: Egyptian cotton.
