Egyptian Cotton Sheets – Are They Worth the Hype?

So it’s been a couple of months since I got my hands, or should I say my body, onto some of The Hotel Sheet’s DNA tested Egyptian Cotton and I truly don’t think I could ever go back.

Having been someone who loves homeware but only buys sheets on a super sale, I felt it was time to invest in a luxury set knowing they would last for years. I was actually lucky enough to end up being gifted these incredible sheets from The Hotel Sheet, but certainly have my sights set on their Classic Cotton range next for a go between sheet whilst I wash my Egyptian Cotton set.

I can honestly say that I feel as though these sheets make such a difference to my quality of sleep. I recently didn’t manage to wash and dry these babies in a day (thank you winter… not!) and put some of my apparent “1000 thread count” sheets on (check out this article on why 1000 thread count is a joke) – which I bought for $80 and started pilling after my first use – and they actually felt so scratchy and uncomfortable. I immediately missed my go-to Egyptian Cotton sheets.

If you’re also wandering why people go on about Egyptian Cotton, and why The Hotel Sheet have gone to the effort of getting DNA tested cotton, then you also need to read this article. The fact is, it’s superior cotton grown in the perfect conditions which makes for a stronger, longer lasting and crisper sheet.

These sheets are crisp, yet so super soft that they make a dreamy (literally) sleep. Especially in winter, they have held the warmth underneath The Hotel Sheet’s Matelasse Duvet and look elegant in white. I had a few people ask me if the price was worth it, and I can say a resounding yes over and over. I find The Hotel Sheet’s prices to be highly competitive for the price, and even their non-Egyptian range, which is still a luxury product, starts at $159NZD. Plus they offer AfterPay – my favourite! Their reviews on their website speak volumes with customers coming back for multiple sets. If I was unsure before reading their reviews, I was certainly sold after.

I continuously rave about these sheets and couldn’t recommend them highly enough! Check out www.thehotelsheet.co.nz or @thehotelsheet on Instagram to see their range. You won’t regret a purchase!

Please note that I was gifted the sheets and duvet by The Hotel Sheet but all opinions expressed are my own and entirely genuine.
