Types of Cotton & Their Role in Premium Bedding

When you think of high-quality bedding, cotton likely comes to mind β€” and for good reason. Cotton is one of the most loved natural fibers in the world, known for its softness, breathability, and durability. But not all cotton is created equal.

At Grah Sajja, we specialize in curating bedding made from the finest cotton varieties. Whether you're after everyday comfort or luxurious indulgence, understanding the different kinds of cotton can help you choose the perfect fabric for your bedroom.


🌿 1. Egyptian Cotton – The Gold Standard

What it is:

Egyptian cotton is considered the pinnacle of cotton luxury. Grown in the rich soil along the Nile River, it’s made from long-staple fibers that are thinner, stronger, and softer than regular cotton.

Bedding Benefits:

  • Silky smooth texture

  • Exceptional durability

  • Gets softer with every wash

  • Ideal for luxury bedding sets and premium comforters

Best for:

Those who crave opulence and a hotel-like sleep experience.


☁️ 2. Pima Cotton – The Softer Cousin

What it is:

Pima cotton, primarily grown in the U.S. and South America, is another long-staple cotton known for its softness and sheen. It shares many qualities with Egyptian cotton but is slightly more affordable.

Bedding Benefits:

  • Soft and breathable

  • Naturally resistant to pilling

  • Slightly more accessible in price

Best for:

Customers who want a luxurious feel without going full premium on cost.


🌾 3. Upland Cotton – Everyday Essential

What it is:

Upland cotton is the most widely grown cotton in the world, especially in India, the US, and China. It has shorter fibers than Egyptian or Pima, which makes it less soft but more affordable.

Bedding Benefits:

  • Good durability

  • Cost-effective

  • Ideal for everyday use

Best for:

Budget-conscious buyers who want practical and comfortable bedding.


🧺 4. Organic Cotton – Pure & Eco-Friendly

What it is:

Organic cotton is grown without pesticides or synthetic chemicals. It can be Egyptian, Pima, or Upland cotton β€” the difference lies in the farming practices.

Bedding Benefits:

  • Gentle on sensitive skin

  • Eco-conscious choice

  • Free from toxins and chemicals

Best for:

Eco-aware families and those with sensitive skin or allergies.


πŸ”  5. Combed Cotton – Enhanced Comfort

What it is:

Combed cotton is not a different type but a treatment process. The cotton fibers are "combed" to remove shorter, rougher fibers, leaving only the smoothest strands.

Bedding Benefits:

  • Exceptionally soft and strong

  • Less prone to fraying

  • Ideal for high-thread-count sheets

Best for:

Anyone seeking ultra-smooth and long-lasting bedding.
