Egyptian cotton is considered to be the world's most exclusive cotton quality. The reason for this is that the soil of Egypt is perfect for cotton cultivation.
The result is a cotton fiber that is longer and thinner than other types of cotton from other countries where conditions are not as favorable for cotton production.
These long thin fiber strands are perfectly suited to create high quality linens, towels, blankets and clothing. Since the threads are so thin, it becomes easier to weave tight (thread count), which in turn leads to products that are softer and more durable.
The world's softest cotton is usually Egyptian cotton. However, it depends on their thread count. 500 threat count of Egyptian cotton is particularly soft.
Egyptian cotton usually has a 200 or greater thread count.
Yes, Egyptian cotton can and does shrink. In order to avoid this, make sure you do not watch your Egyptian cotton in hot water. You also will want to allow the cotton to air dry and avoid using a drying machine.

Supima is a more manufactured cotton, while Egyptian cotton will cost you more but is more natural.
