This can depend on the specific pillow, but many Egyptian pillows can be machine washed. However, it's important to follow the care instructions carefully to avoid damaging the pillow. No doubt price is a vital factor to consider, it is also important to consider the quality of the pillow. A cheap pillow may not offer the support and comfort you need for a good night's sleep. Egyptian pillows are basically pillows whose covers are made of Egyptian cotton. We use this to make our high-quality pillowcases. Here we take pride in providing our customers with the finest cotton products available on the market, and we are excited to share with you the exceptional features of our Egyptian cotton pillowcases. You'd assume that a higher count is better, but that's not strictly true. Linen bedding, for example, has a typical thread count of around 200, but that's what makes it so breathable and gives it that lovely texture.

We only use 100% authentic Egyptian cotton for our pillowcases. We source our cotton directly from the Nile River Valley, where the rich alluvial soil and perfect climate conditions produce the best cotton in the world.EUROPEAN BEDDING SIZES: Each size - Single, Double, King and Grand king - is a little larger than the UK equivalent. To understand this, let's define thread count. This number refers to how many threads there are in a square inch of the fabric. The higher the number, the more tightly woven the material is.

Young children can overheat so if they are old enough to use a full size bed, we recommend using a single size 4.5 tog duvet.

"The key attributes to look for are that the bedding you choose is made from natural fibres that supports breathability and allows for air circulation next to the skin," Farah continues. "That will support you to have the most comfortable night’s sleep." So the right thread count for you will depend on your particular tastes; if you're looking for an indulgent hotel feel, go for a higher number. It is recommended to replace your pillow every 1-2 years, depending on its quality and how well you take care of it. For soft, breathable bedding, cotton is the go-to choice for most. But did you know that thread count isn't the only factor when it comes to quality? In fact, the thread itself is also important — and Egyptian cotton bedding is widely regarded as some of the best.
