How Long Do Egyptian Cotton Sheets Last?

There are few things better than snuggling between a cozy set of sheets on a cold night. Unfortunately, if you don’t choose your bedding with care, it’s unlikely to go the distance. When you opt for inexpensive cotton sheets or low-quality blends, there’s a good chance your bedding purchase will eventually fall apart in the laundry. For bedding built to last, opt for sheets made from 100 percent certified Egyptian cotton. Not only is Egyptian cotton proven to last for years, but it also maintains its softness and luster no matter how many trips it takes through the wash. Keep reading to learn more about Egyptian cotton sheets and discover how long you can expect them to last with proper care.

Why Egyptian Cotton Is Durable

The durability of Egyptian cotton comes from its unique construction. Pure Egyptian cotton sheets and blankets are crafted from extra-long staple fibers that were picked by hand in Egypt’s Nile River Valley. The Egyptian cotton plant’s long fibers have an exceptionally small diameter. The end result is an ultra-thin, delightfully fine yarn that maintains its strength and buttery softness through hundreds of washes. 

The Lifespan of Egyptian Cotton

So how long can you expect your Egyptian cotton sheets to last? Bedding made from this highly durable material generally lasts for around eight years. However, it’s not uncommon for certified Egyptian cotton bedding to stay silky for well over a decade. Proper care and storage are crucial to protecting your sheets and extending their lifespan. 

When Should You Toss Your Sheets?

Customers often ask when they should swap out their Egyptian cotton sheets. In truth, you don’t have to throw away your sheets unless they appear thin, stained, discolored, torn, or frayed. If your sheets are still soft and comfortable, you can feel free to hang onto them. However, you may well want to pick up an additional set of sheets to expand your current style options or switch up your look throughout the year.
