 Full-size towels are the largest option, perfect for those who want maximum coverage and absorbency.  Full-size towels are perfect for wrapping the body and are often used in the spa or for a luxurious bathing experience.  Full-size towels give a feeling of luxury and indulgence, making them a popular choice for those who prioritize comfort and luxury.

The quality of bed sheets is often conveyed by the thread count—the number of threads per square inch of material. In general, the higher the thread count, the softer the sheet, but the weave and type of thread may affect the hand of the material so that a sheet with a lower thread count may actually be softer than one with a higher count. Yarn quality also plays a part in the look and feel of sheets, as finer yarns tend to create a finer sheet fabric. The ply also plays a role in how heavy the sheet feels. Ply represents how many fibers are twisted together as the sheet is being created. A 2 ply 300 thread count sheet will feel heavier than a single ply 600 thread count sheet.

The most important thing to know about sheets is what they are made of. Materials will tell you a lot about how sheets will feel, their cooling and breathability, and their durability, as well as help you gauge if the price is fair.

What are filament fibers? Some of the most common ones used for satin are silk, nylon, and polyester. Traditionally, satin was only made with silk but modern materials like nylon and polyester are now used, too. Staple fibers include materials like cotton and rayon, which are used for sateen.

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.

For a very long time, cotton was the go-to choice for bedding because, in general, it is durable, affordable, soft, easy to care for and is comfortable to sleep on. 

Egyptian cotton can be spun into percale, which makes the softest, most luxurious type of bed sheets. Percale is extremely lightweight and perfect for those looking for cooling sheets since it doesn’t retain heat. It has a natural matte finish that results in a clean, crisp look.
