Are the Egyptian Cotton Napkins "bright white" and is the fabric a good weight?

The short answer is yes they are Egyptian Cotton. They are bright white, but have a bit of a texture to them almost like linen, and they are a very decent weight. For a larger napkin which is heavier and has no texture check out the satin band napkins by typing B00CEN2NBU into the search box. I get asked all the time what is Egyptian Cotton, so here is the technical answer: Egyptian cotton is "extra long staple" mostly made from a cotton plant called Gossypium barbadense. These plants are, in fact, grown all over the world including in the US, China and India. Egyptian Cotton does not necessarily mean that the cotton was grown in Egypt. If the cotton is actually from Egypt it is called Giza cotton. The fiber length is around 1 3/8 inches which is extra long and does make for a softer more luxurious product.

The ones I bought are 100% polyester. There is no thread count so I compared one of the microfiber sheets with my cotton sheets. The weave look like it is between my 300 and 400 count sheets, but closer to the 300 count sheets. It is very light and soft. I does not look or feel like a cotton sheet. One thing I did notice: I bought 2 sets and ran them all through the same light wash load before using them. On one set the dots faded from bright primary colors to a softer pastel shade. There has not been any further fading.

No. The package says 1800 Thread Count; 100% Egyptian Quality, but does not give the exact content. They are probably considered microfiber, but it does not say that. I have always been a "crisp cotton" lover, but these have won me over. They are soft but feel luxurious and have no wrinkles.

These sheets are light weight and super soft, not at all thick or unpliable. There is not much of a sheen. I used them to make a quilt sack.

Hi, I bought these towels in white and according to the tag on the towels, they are 100% Egyptian cotton loop and 100% cotton nothing else! Take care, Andrea

According to the Malouf website these are "Beautiful single-ply sateen weaveLong-staple authentic Egyptian cotton" sheets. I suggest you visit this page to read all about them. https://www.maloufsleep.com/products/600-tc-egyptian-cotton-sheets-by-malouf/I will add that I've had these sheets several months now and generally wash them every week and they still look and feel just like they did when I unpacked them and I absolutely love the feel and the fit on my extra deep "princess bed"!

They remind me a little of the old polished cotton--slight sheen. They are soft and pliable, no wrinkles. Thin but not transparent. They launder well. I don't sew so I don't have a feel for how they would hang as curtains, sorry.

The plates are a good weight. They are not light. I have had a lot of compliments on them.

Fabric is not thin . They are sturdy. I ordered 4 for my daughters wedding . My only complaint was the white color has a slight purple tinge I wasn't really in love with. Since they weren't up next to my true white tablecloths it wasnt a total disaster.

Yes, Julie it is a thicker fabric... but cotton like??? No, more of a slippery satinlike feel. You will not be disappointed in this tablecloth. I was not. It is a nice thick fabric.And as they say......there you have it!Rich

Mine say 100% Egyptian Cotton. Very smooth fabric but not shiny or slippery like satin sheets.

They are 100% Egyptian cotton 725 gram weight. I also bought the cotton 550 gram weight towels and they are definitely lighter/thinner. (I had the most difficult time trying to find this basic info when I was looking at the different towels too!! I just happened to glance at the heading on my browser page at one point, and there it was....go figure. You'd think Amazon would include a basic fact like this.)

Hi Carol,The white looks great, color wise they are fine. The shape of them are a little more square-ish than I'd like though, not the best in that sense. But at first glance I don't think anybody would really notice. I'm going to be putting them on the tables of my reception.Hope that helps.-Christina

They feel like heavy weight cotton, similar to a lightweight denim. I have mine outside on my patio and they really look nice. As a side note, I found the same pillow in a catalog last week for $12 more than Amazon.

I would not call this spread "bright white", but it's not echru either. The floral pattern is colorful enough that I think it would blend well.

try entering 'hemstitch dinner napkins ivory'. I believe they do come in that color.

I can't remember the exact weight ...I had 2 of them which I sold later...they are very light weight....just a few ounces...about the weight of a small box of napkins
