Marie asked:
It’s not sateen or shiny at all. She bought it from overstock.com. Can anyone advise me what kind of “cotton” I should type into the search engine? I can’t find anything like it and she bought it so long ago that she can’t tell me the type of material it is. It can’t be just plain cotton because it’s so soft, like the softest t-shirt I’ve ever owned. Anyone who can help me, any suggestions are appreciated.

Try “Egyptian” cotton. That’s really soft. Or look for 600 thread count cotton. The higher the thread count, the softer the cotton.

It’s probably Egyptian cotton….or has a high thread count. The higher the thread count, the softer it is.

It could be a really high thread count like 400 or more. Also I there’s something called brushed cotton which is really soft.
Hope this helps

someone already suggested a high thread-count, so other than that, could it be flannel (which is also cotton)
hope you find it!

If it feels like your favorite t-shirt it could be Jersey cotton. I’ve got a really really soft comforter that is just plain old cotton from LinensNThings (and it wasn’t that soft at first). I washed it twice and used a downy dryer sheet before I put it on the bed. And it gets softer with every wash. I’ve actually gone back and have bought 2 more just in case the first one finally wears out or I can’t find it anymore.
