Most Egyptian Cotton Is Fake. Here’s Why The Real Thing Is So Expensive | Business Insider
Sheets made with Egyptian cotton can cost over $900 — but not all cotton is created equal. Many products use the term “Egyptian cotton,” but experts say there isn’t enough Egyptian cotton grown to actually make all of the products that claim to use it. A lot of the Egyptian cotton you see online may be fake. The highest-quality Egyptian cotton is called “extra-long staple.” The fibers are longer, resulting in softer, more durable fabrics.
