Woven from a 260 thread-count polymer fabric impregnated with 5,100 copper micro-filaments per square inch, these sheets create a natural antimicrobial barrier for healthier sleeping.
The hypoallergenic material exploits microorganisms' intolerance for copper exposure, destroying odor-causing bacteria and allergens.
The high filament count gives the fabric extraordinary moisture wicking properties (which also activates and releases the copper ions) for comfortable slumber in any weather, while the sateen weave endows the sheets with a lustrous silk-like feel.
The fitted sheet has bias-cut pockets that won't slip off of mattress corners and fit mattresses up to 17" deep. The flat sheet and two included pillowcases are sewn with a double-needle satin pleat.

What does it all mean to someone who just wants to update their bedding?
Understanding how your linens are made from and how they are made will give you the means to know what exactly you are getting for your money. I will talk about each of the different types of bedding over the next few posts.
The majority of bed linens are made from Egyptian cotton, pima or supima, sateens, polycotton blends and cotton with the very best quality you can buy being Egyptian Cotton.

Linen made from Egyptian cotton is considered to be the most luxurious and durable with a lovely silky feel and lustre to the finished product. The quality is on account of the extra long fibers used to create Egyptian cotton. Expected thread count is from 200-300.
Of course not all Egyptian cotton is the same and like everything else it can vary in grades, fiber length, ply (the number of threads twisted together) and the weave. The manner in which the sheeting is manufactured can also vary greatly. Thread count also contributes to the quality of bed linen. This refers to the number of vertical and horizontal threads contained in a one inch square of fabric. This is determined by the ply and thickness of the thread used. Egyptian cotton is fine and so it has more threads per square inch than other cottons.
