Egyptian cotton: fine, lustrous, extra long staple cotton that was originally grown in Egypt. This durable cotton is made of extra long fibers, 1-1/4 to 2 inch staple. These staples can be spun into extremely fine thread; thus, the resulting fabric can be woven with more threads per square inch. Egyptian cotton fabric has a distinct luster and silky hand. The most durable cotton, it softens wash by wash.

modal: A natural microfiber, modal is made from beech wood. Using the pulp of plantation grown trees, the wood's cellulose is spun into modal. This revolutionary fiber has the softness of cashmere without the pilling, plus it breathes well. Modal absorbs up to 50% more humidity than cotton, and dries quickly. In addition, modal remains soft and retains its color, even after repeated washings.
