Egyptian cotton is synonymous with excellence and sophistication, qualities that Cloto has masterfully incorporated into its exclusive bedding collections. Grown in the fertile soils along the Nile, Egyptian cotton is celebrated for its softness and refined quality. Among the various types, Makò cotton stands out for its superior quality, used by Cloto to craft sheets and bedding that set the highest standards of luxury in textiles.

In this brief exploration of Cloto's Egyptian cotton, we’ll uncover the unique characteristics of Makò cotton, the importance of thread count, and some interesting facts about this remarkable fabric.

Characteristics of Makò Cotton

Makò cotton is renowned for its unique features:
  • Extra-Long Staple (ELS) Fibers: These long fibers result in smoother, more durable weaves that maintain softness even after many washes.
  • Natural Softness and Shine: The high quality of Makò fibers provides a luxuriously soft feel and a natural sheen, ideal for luxury bedding.
  • Excellent Breathability : Its ability to keep you cool and dry makes it perfect for sheets that promote a comfortable sleep in any season.
  • Durability : Thanks to its remarkable strength, Makò cotton ensures that sheets retain their beauty and quality over time.

The Thread Count (TC): Quality and Comfort

A crucial factor in choosing sheets is the thread count (TC), which indicates the number of threads woven per square inch. A higher thread count not only makes the fabric denser but also enhances its softness and durability. Cloto’s bedding sets come in various TC levels to meet different comfort preferences:
  • TC 300 : Lightweight and breathable, perfect for those seeking coolness.
  • TC 600 : Enveloping softness and a sense of refinement for everyday use.
  • TC 1000 : Silky and refined, for those who love the touch of true luxury in contact with the skin.
  • TC 1400 : Silky and sophisticated, for those who love the feel of pure luxury against the skin.
Every step of Cloto’s bedding production reflects attention to detail and Italian craftsmanship. The hand-cutting and meticulous tailoring by our skilled artisans ensure that each piece retains its perfect shape, even after numerous washes, offering a lasting experience of elegance and comfort.

Essential Tips for Maintaining Makò Cotton

  • Use Gentle detergents : Avoid harsh detergents that could damage the fibers. Opt for gentle, phosphate- and enzyme-free products that are safe for the cotton and kind to your skin and the environment.
  • Avoid Fabric Softeners : Regular use of fabric softeners can clog the fabric's pores, reducing breathability and dulling its natural sheen. Instead, use white vinegar or baking soda to keep the sheets soft without altering the cotton's properties.
  • Air Dry : When possible, air-dry the sheets to avoid excessive use of the dryer. If using a dryer, add wool dryer balls to soften the fabric further without chemical products.
  • Steam Ironing : Steam ironing helps maintain the cotton's softness and protects the fibers' integrity, preventing high temperatures from stiffening the fabric.
  • Fibers Improve with Use : One of the most intriguing qualities of Egyptian cotton, including the Makò variety, is that it becomes softer over time. With each wash, the fibers soften, making the fabric increasingly comfortable.

Optimal storage

To prevent the cotton from losing softness or getting damaged, store the sheets in breathable bags, away from moisture and direct sunlight, which could weaken the fibers over time. By following these simple steps, your Makò cotton sheets will maintain their shine, softness, and durability, turning every night into an experience of luxury and comfort.
