Supima cotton is a brand name which specifies Pima cotton grown only in the U.S. It is ELS cotton (extra long staple) with staples, on average, 1.44" long.
Egyptian cotton is a generic term that refers to any cotton grown in Egypt, which grow a variety of cotton: MLS (medium long staple), LS, and ELS. The ELS staples are, on average, 2" long.
If you compare ELS Egyptian cotton to any cotton, the Egyptian is the best in terms of softness. >>> This statement is categorically wrong.
"Egyptian cotton" is any cotton that happens to be grown in the country of Egypt. An ELS cotton grown in Egypt may - or may not - compare well to other ELS cottons grown anywhere else.
Suppima, which is a brand name of a particularly well studied, developed, researched variety of ELS has been documented to be a superior ELS variety of cotton. Part of the differentiation, and quality, of Supima is not only the specific variety of cotton, but also the methods with which it is grown and processed. The whole seed, soil, growing, processing, manufacturing processes in Egypt simply do not match the highly developed agriculture processes which are used for Supima. As well, the seed stock of Supima - superior Pima - is categorically a higher quality plant; it makes better cotton fibers. Better fibers, in addition to the superior farming, processing and manufacturing processes ensures that Supima Cotton products are the highest quality cotton bar none.
Combed Cotton
This is not a type of cotton. Rather, it describes a process of preparation of the cotton prior to spinning in which the shorter fibers are removed and the longer fibers are lined up for spinning. This process follows the carding process and is usually only performed on better quality cottons. Regular upland cotton's can be combed and the resulting yarn and garment will be better than a regular cotton that has just been carded. The term combed cotton is generally used to identify a product that is a step up from commodity type products that are just made with carded cotton yarns.
Supima Cotton
Supima is a premium quality cotton and is 100% Extra-Long Staple variety. Because of its length all Supima has to be combed before it is spun. Better quality cotton used will result in a better quality product.
