What is Supima Cotton – and Why Should You Choose Supima Bed Linens?
Choosing bed linens is not only about what looks the best, but also about several other things. Breathability, sustainability, and comfort are just a few of them.
You’ve probably heard that Supima is the world’s finest cotton – if not from us, then maybe from someone else. But one question we get asked a lot is: What exactly is the difference between Supima and regular cotton – and why is it worth considering?
What Is Supima Cotton?
Supima cotton is so much more than just a softer type of cotton. Its roots lie in the U.S., where family-run cotton farms have been developed over generations. Supima makes up only 1% of the world’s cotton production – and for good reason.
What makes Supima stand out is its extra-long staple fibers, which result in a fabric that’s shinier, softer, and significantly more durable than regular cotton. In other words: a better choice – for both you and the planet.
Supima vs. Regular Cotton – What´s the difference?
So, what is the difference between Supima and regular cotton then?
Regular Cotton
✔ Often has short or medium-staple fibers, which can lead to a rougher texture and lower durability
✔ Coloring has a risk of fading quicker over time
✔ May feel rougher after repeated washing and use over time
Supima Cotton
✔ Extra-long staple fibers (35% longer than regular cotton) create a smoother, more luxurious handfeel
✔ Superior color retention – up to 45% stronger than regular cotton
✔ Naturally softer thanks to finer yarns and high-quality spinning

Frequently Asked Questions About Supima Cotton
Here are the most common questions we receive about Supima cotton – and why it’s something you need at home:
Is Supima and Egyptian Cotton of the same quality? Both Supima and Egyptian cotton are considered premium, long-staple varieties. However, while “Egyptian cotton” is often used as a marketing term (even if the product contains as little as 1%) the quality can vary. With Supima, you can be sure to get 100% of premium quality cotton thanks to its certification.
Why is Supima Cotton more expensive – and is it worth it? Supima cotton is more rare, more durable, and fully traceable, which makes it a bit more expensive than regular cotton. But if you value long-lasting bed linens that get softer over time and hold their color wash after wash – then Supima is absolutely worth the investment
How do i wash the Supima sheets? Thanks to its exceptional durability – and the fact that today’s washing machines are gentler – caring for your Supima linens is easy. Just wash them separately at 40–60°C, and they’ll continue feeling like new, wash after wash.
