Cover Construction
Manufactured by Egyptian Bedding®, this comforter is constructed of Long Staple Giza Cotton. This cotton grows near the Nile River Valley dating back to the pharaohs. This family of Giza cotton is known for long, thick fibers. Giza cotton produces a smooth, silky appearance and feel.
The long fibers also rank strongly in resistance to breakage. The durability of fabric is a hallmark of this cotton. Also, the method of harvesting produces a cleaner cotton. Ranked a grade above “Supima,” this cotton bedding boasts smoothness and durability. Constructed in China, the cover of the Luxurious comforter maintains a soft, quality feel.
Thread Count
Thread count is a scientific production term regulated by strict federal standards. This count refers to the number to threads woven into a square inch of fabric. Both the warp (lengthwise) and weft (widthwise) threads are counted. The warp plus the weft equal a total thread count.
For a frame of reference, a 150 thread count produces muslin fabric. The texture of muslin can be a bit scratchy. Quality materials are found at 180 thread count and above 200 is considered better quality. The 1200 thread count of this comforter, not surprisingly, yields a smooth, comfortable feel.
Down Fill
This comforter is filled with 100 percent down. Down is the soft under plumage that insulates geese and other waterfowl. The 50-ounce fill weight produces a warm, moisture-wicking comforter.
Fill power can range from 300 to 900. This measure is the space one ounce of down occupies at
Sleep Quality
The Luxurious comforter consists of channel construction. This boxed design prevents down fill from shifting or clumping within the comforter. Evenly divided fill provides even warmth. The down is also odorless for those sensitive to smell.
Down is breathable and allows water vapor to pass through the product. This feature provides moisture wicking throughout the night to keep sleepers dry and comfortable. The Luxurious comforter best provides warmth between 55 and 70 degrees F. Availability in twin, queen, king and California kings sizes makes comfort available to all sizes of sleepers.
