Egyptian cotton grows along the banks of the Nile, where the unique climate and soil provide a perfect home for the cotton plant. During the day, the plant is warmed; at night, it's cooled, and the fertile soil nourishes every fiber. This special interplay of nature allows the fibers to ripen slowly and fully. This makes the fibers extra long and allows them to be spun finer, resulting in a softer and stronger thread.

Because the fibers are longer and finer, the fabric feels very soft. The suppleness of the fabric is inherent due to the fiber structure. Longer fibers break less easily, meaning Egyptian cotton lasts longer than ordinary cotton. They retain their shape, pill less to hardly at all, and wear out more slowly.

Egyptian cotton breathes excellently, retains moisture without feeling wet, and regulates your body temperature. This is due to the natural properties of the cotton fiber itself, combined with the density of the fine spin.

TC, or Thread Count, stands for the thread density of a fabric. It indicates how many threads are woven per square inch, both horizontally and vertically. The higher the thread count, the finer, denser, and smoother the fabric feels. A higher Thread Count not only means more threads, but also that high-quality fibers are used, such as the extra-long fibers of Egyptian cotton.

For standard cotton bedding, the thread count is often between 120TC and 180TC. Good quality cotton starts from 200TC. With our 400TC Egyptian cotton bedding, you are in the premium segment where the fabric feels extra soft and supple, has a luxurious appearance, is strong and durable, and hardly, if at all, pills due to the fine and dense weave.

Egyptian cotton comes from a high-quality cotton variety grown in the warm, fertile climate of the Nile Valley. This cotton plant produces extra-long, strong, and smooth fibers. Thanks to these longer fibers, Egyptian cotton is softer, more luxurious, and more durable than regular cotton.

Regular cotton has shorter and less smooth fibers, making the fabric less strong and supple. Over time, regular cotton becomes rougher, wears out faster, and pills more easily.

Our 100% Egyptian cotton bedding from Néarr is woven with a finer and denser structure, ensuring extra comfort, a soft surface, and minimal pilling. This dense weaving method is referred to as TC (Thread Count), which indicates the number of threads per square inch.

For comparison: standard cotton bedding usually has a thread count of 120TC to 180TC. Néarr Bedding's bedding has a high-quality 400TC, which provides a visibly and tangibly more luxurious quality.

Thanks to the combination of extra-long fibers, a high thread count, luxurious softness, and durability, Egyptian cotton is the perfect choice for premium and comfortable bedding that you will enjoy for longer.

When we say: 100% Egyptian, we really mean it. From cotton plant to your duvet cover, fitted sheet, or pillowcase: everything is manufactured in our own small workshop in Egypt. No mass production, no long chains with intermediate countries, and no compromises on quality. Only premium bedding, directly from the source to your bedroom.

Our workshop employs only women. In many families in Egypt, the family income is traditionally earned by the man, which is why we are especially proud to be able to offer these skilled women their own income.

Every step of the production process is carried out by hand, precisely and with care. Because the entire production takes place in Egypt and we have a short supply chain, we can offer a fair price for both the artisans in Egypt and for the customer.

Wash the bedding at 30°C before first use. Afterwards, you can safely wash it at up to 40°C. Use a mild liquid detergent and avoid fabric softener to preserve the natural softness and moisture-regulating properties of Egyptian cotton.

Preferably wash the bedding separately from heavy items and do not overload the washing machine. This keeps the fabric smooth and prevents wear and tear.

Ideally, air dry the bedding. Thanks to the excellent moisture regulation of Egyptian cotton, it dries quickly. If you do use a dryer, always choose the lowest setting. Ironing should also be done at the lowest temperature.

Wash the bedding inside out, with the zipper as closed as possible. Avoid direct bright sunlight during drying to prevent discoloration.
