White 500 Thread Count Egyptian Cotton Standard Bed Set

Certified Egyptian Cotton

Made with 100% certified Egyptian cotton accredited by the Cotton Egypt Association. Egyptian cotton is grown exclusively in Egypt on the banks of the river Nile. The warm climate and rich soil are perfect for growing the high quality, long staple length cotton fibres we all love in our cotton bed sheets.

Precious & esteemed

These extra long and strong cotton fibres create a smoother, softer and more durable yarn and fabric for an excellent quality bed linen. We've used 3-ply yarns and a sateen weave fabric for greater smoothness and strength.

The story behind Egyptian Cotton

Egyptian Cotton cultivation began when some neglected cotton plants were noticed in a Cairo garden. It was quickly realised that the extra long fibres could be woven into a strong and fine cloth. Before long, cotton was being cultivated along the banks of the Nile, securing Egypt's reputation for high-quality cotton.

Care for quality

This bed linen has gone through some serious testing with a special focus on colour fastness, durability and washability.

Smooth to the touch

The Egyptian cotton, sateen weave and 500 thread count mean this bed linen feels beautifully smooth, silky and lightweight against your skin.

Timeless elegance

The beautiful fabric used to make this bed linen has a pleasing drape and a subtle sheen for a look of pure luxury that works beautifully on its own or as a blank canvas for your unique bedroom look.

Simply Styled

This bed linen is simplicity itself. The duvet cover and Oxford pillow cases have 5cm borders. The fitted sheets are elasticated around the full edge of the sheet for a perfect fit.

Signature ties

The duvet covers are fastened with tie closures so you don't need to worry about ironing around fiddly buttons. Pillow cases have an envelope closure for a neat finish.

Pull back the covers

Keep things healthy by pulling back your duvet to air your bed whilst you're getting ready for the day. This helps excess moisture to evaporate so your bed stays fresher and cleaner.

Wash regularly

Keep your bed clean and fresh by changing and washing your bedlinen regularly. Once a week should do the trick. You can wash this bedlinen at 40°C, although we'd recommend you wash it at 30°C for a greener way to stay clean.

Hang to dry

Do your bit for our planet and dry your bedlinen by hanging it to dry out of direct sunlight. It will dry best on an outside washing line. If time or space is tight, this bedlinen can also be tumble-dried. You'll have fewer creases to deal with it you remove your bedlinen from the drier while slightly damp and then hang it to air dry.

Steaming hot

This lovely bedlinen needs a bit of steam for a pristine finish. Better still, iron this bedlinen while it's slightly damp to kick away those creases.

Check your detergent

Always use the best detergent for the product you are washing. If you're washing white bedlinen we'd recommend powdered detergents. If you're washing coloured bedlinen, we'd recommend you use a washing gel/liquid or a detergent suitable for coloured fabrics.

Avoid detergents and stain removers containing optical brighteners

They create an optical illusion that changes the appearance of the colour. It's not just detergents that can affect your bedlinen; some creams and facewashes contain chemicals that will bleach your bedlinen, such as benzoyl peroxide. Suncream and bronzers can also stain your bedsheets; having a shower before bed to remove skin products will help your bedlinen stay looking good for longer.
