Luxurious warmth and welcoming softness are just one of the feelings you get when putting on your Egyptian cotton bath robe. Typically worn after a nice shower or a refreshing dip in the pool, the luxury bath robe with its highly absorbent cotton fibers, gently dries the skin and envelopes the body in a comforting embrace. Egyptian cotton is a special variety of the plant and it has long been used in the making of fabric consumed by the luxury and upscale markets worldwide. Five star hotels and spas provide Egyptian cotton bath robes because there is no substitute.

Four characteristics of the fiber explain why Egyptian cotton terry cloth bath robes work. These are shine, purity, thread fineness, and length.

High quality cotton posses natural shine. This is a natural quality of the species. Exacting manufacturing standards produce pure cotton fibers which are free from blemishes and foreign matter which might irritate the skin. Long and fine fibers make it easier to spin durable threads which do not break easily when washed. In fact no other cotton species produce longer cotton fibers. Cotton possessing all four qualities makes highly breathable fabrics that only get better and softer the more it is washed. Because of such characteristics, Egyptian cotton is used to spin finer count yarns which are then used for knitting or weaving fabrics softer and finer than those made from upland cotton.

Naturally occurring compounds present in Egyptian cotton such as gossypol makes the fibers resistant to insect damage. Another compound has anti-fungal properties which help Egyptian cotton robes fight rot and mildew.

Egyptian cotton is grown along the fertile banks of the River Nile but may refer to several varieties of long-fiber cotton belonging to the Gossypium barbadense species. There are four species of cotton grown for the production of fiber. The majority of the world’s cotton comes from upland cotton or Gossypium hirsutum, contributing to 90 percent of production. Egyptian cotton and other long-fiber cotton varieties only contribute eight percent.
