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. 

When it comes to comparing rayon vs cotton, both fabrics have their advantages and disadvantages. Rayon is a synthetic fabric made from polyester and rayon fibers. It is lightweight, wrinkle-resistant, and durable, making it a great choice for everyday wear. However, it is not as breathable as cotton and can be uncomfortable in hot weather. Cotton on the other hand is much more breathable and comfortable than rayon but tends to wrinkle easily and needs more care when washing.

Understanding rayon begins with recognizing its origins, which trace back to natural sources. Manufacturers create this versatile fabric by chemically transforming cellulose, usually sourced from wood pulp from trees such as beech, pine, and eucalyptus.
