Introduction
Cotton is a fiber that’s been a part of our daily lives for centuries. But not all cotton is created equal, and for those who value quality and longevity, Supima cotton is in a league of its own. Known for its strength, softness, and sustainable farming practices, Supima offers a more refined experience than regular cotton.
What is Supima Cotton?
Supima cotton, short for "Superior Pima," is widely recognized as one of the finest cottons available. Grown exclusively in the United States across 500 family-owned farms in California, Arizona, and Texas, Supima represents only 1% of the world’s cotton production. This rarity makes it a go-to choice for those who prioritize quality and comfort in their bedding.
To source Supima cotton, textile manufacturers (like us!) invest in the added cost of a material that’s as durable as it is soft. Supima’s standardization process is rigorous, with farmers employing advanced techniques such as GPS-guided tractors and soil monitoring to carefully manage each crop.
What Makes Supima Cotton Special?
Extra-Long Fibers
Supima cotton’s extra-long fibers are what set it apart. While most cotton fibers measure between 1.0 to 1.25 inches, Supima cotton reaches 1.5 inches, creating a stronger, more resilient yarn. This results in a material that resists pilling, (which often happens with some shorter-fiber cottons,) allowing Supima to retain its structure and feel for much longer.
Next-level Softness
Because Supima fibers are incredibly fine, this creates a smoother, and silker feeling than conventional cotton. When combined with a sateen weave like our duvet and sheets, you get a fabric that softens with time.
Color Retention
One of the hidden advantages of Supima is its ability to hold color. Thanks to its ultra fine fiber, dyes adhere more effectively to Supima. That means your bedding will retain a vibrant hue for years, even with regular washing.
Natural Breathability
As with all cotton, Supima is naturally breathable, but its delicate weave offers an even more enhanced level of airflow. This breathability is key to reguLating your tempature through the night --whether it be during summer or winter.
Eco-conscious
Grown under rigorous environmental standards, Supima farmers utilize sustainable practices that conserve water and reduce waste. When you purchase Supima products, you’re not just choosing quality—you’re also supporting a fabric grown with our planet in mind.
