Egyptian sheets are a very high quality cotton sheet. They are like sleeping on clouds and almost feellike silk, except they don't slide around. I use only egyptian sheets now and am getting the best sleep ever!

Who knows what Egyptian FABRIC means. The vendor specifically states that the sheets are NOT MADE OF COTTON. I've asked, "If not cotton, what are they made of?"

They are a synthetic fabric with a linen texture. There is cardboard stiffener between the outside fabric and the inside lining.

There is no such thing as "Egyptian Microfiber." Microfiber is not cotton. Indeed, I doubt that microfiber even has a legitimate thread count.

The tag that is actually on the sheet does not say whether or not they are Egyptian cotton. I have purchased Egyptian cotton sheets from another retailer, and they are a little bit different as far as the way they feel. The thread count is the number of horizontal and vertical threads per square inch. The higher the thread count, the thicker and better quality your sheets will be, and you won't have the stretching you see with sheets with lower thread counts. I hope this helps.

They are nice and I am very satisfied. I doubt real Egyptians were used in the manufacturing. The quality is as good if not better than the ones I purchased for over 300.00 when we bought our new bed.

It is fabric, however I am not sure what kind, my guess is a synthetic. It does seem to be well put together.

Sorry the the lack of specifics. I don't exactly know what it is, but it feels like a vinyl like type of coating. The textile material itself, that is coated, is most likely nylon.

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"!

Seems to be cotton fabric. It is just like the ones we had in Iraq which we bought or traded for from local nationals

I'm not 100% the exact fabric. It's some type of polyester. It is water resistant, not water proof.

They don't appear to be cotton. I can't see how Egyptian or Italian are relevant to the product description.

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.

Your best bet is to check the internet for the definition of Egyptian Quality. I know my sister is very pleased with these sheets, she said they were very soft and washed well.

These sheets ARE microfiber -NOT egyptian cotton at all! They should be removed/reported for misleading/false description of the product. I have had microfiber sheets before and just like those the description for these sheets should read microfiber = uncomfortable POLYESTER

Refers to the method of thread formation. Quality Egyptian Cotton is woven with long fibers.

It's made out of a papery kind of cloth...kind of woven but seems pretty sturdy. Not lined though.

Egyptian? I was surprised and wife was more so. They are extremely light and thin, but they feel so much better than the sheets we had been using.
