Similar to Pima, Egyptian cotton also composes extra-long staple (ELS) cotton fibers, which are produced in Egypt. The Egyptian climate allows the cotton fibers to grow extra long, 30- 50 millimeters. These extra-long staple fibers are handpicked, guaranteeing the highest levels of purity; this makes the fabric high-end and durable. Egyptian cotton is usually used for making bedding and sometimes towels.
