Product Description
This Pinzon bed skirt is a beautiful base for the Hotel Banded Egyptian cotton collection, and brings the experience of luxurious hotel bedding to your home. Egyptian cotton is renowned for softness, and when used in a sateen weave, that softness is enhanced. The bed skirt is expertly woven in Portugal with single-ply Egyptian cotton yarns in a 300 thread count. Offered in a choice of sizes, the California-King-size bed skirt measures 72 by 84 inches, with a 16-inch drop, and it is safe to clean in the washer and dryer. It arrives pre-shrunk for durability and longevity. Matching Hotel Banded sheets, duvets, and shams are available for a fully coordinated look.
The Fabric
Egyptian Cotton: Egyptian cotton is used to make some of the highest quality linens in the world, including sumptuously soft bath and bed linens. Egyptian cotton is grown to produce a longer staple, or fiber, than generic cotton, and the longer and finer a cotton staple is, the better able it is to be spun into finer count yarns, which in turn can be knitted or woven into soft, fine, and luxurious fabrics. The staple length in Egyptian cotton averages 1-1/8 to 1-1/2 inches, but can reach over 2-1/4 inches, which is twice the size of a generic cotton fiber. Products which highlight construction of Egyptian cotton are usually referring to the extra-long-staple cotton produced largely in the Nile River Valley. The humidity and rich soil around the Nile delta produce especially long cotton fibers, which are fine and vary from a light cream to dark tan color. Egyptian cotton is strong, durable and, if cared for properly, will be long lasting.
Sateen: Sateen fabric has a supremely soft, satin-like finish resulting from a four-over-one thread weave. Standard weaves, like percale, use a one-over, one-under stitch. The four-over weave puts more threads nearer the surface, resulting in a softer, warmer surface. Sateen fabrics are most often made of mercerized cotton, but can be made of other fabrics, including cotton blends, polyester, and rayon. Mercerized threads give sateen fabrics a higher luster. Mercerization, named for process-creator John Mercer, involves treating threads with a cold concentrated sodium hydroxide solution. Mercerization also increases strength, dyeability, and resistance to mildew, as well as reduces lint. Sateens can be produced in light and heavy weights, and are ideal for bedding.

Nice quality - looks like the photo
By Mom-who-researches-everything-before-buying
I only ordered the bedskirt (no other items from the set), but the color and sheen look exactly as depicted in the photo. Quality is very good. Good buy for the price.

As expected and incredibly soft
By C. Sanftleben
I've owned a set almost like this from Pinzon and was incredibly pleased. Again, Pinzon exceeds my expectations and although it is advertised as a lower thread count product, it is INCREDIBLY soft. Still waiting for the remainder of the ensemble (I bought everything pictured in the ensemble that goes with this Bed Skirt) and am excited to put it all together.
