About Us
Are all your products made in the USA?
It wasn’t easy to make it happen, but we’re proud to say that our bedding and towels are 100% made in America. Yes, 100%. From field to finished product, absolutely nothing is outsourced or overlooked. This not only keeps jobs at home—it makes it easier for us to provide you with well-made, luxury quality goods.
What inspired the creation of American Cotton
Our founders, married couple Jane and Jeff Tauber, have a thing for textiles. For Jane, an Interior Designer, it might have to do with her family history—her mother sewed and her great-grandfather was in the embroidery business. For Jeff, it was a passion cultivated over years of working in the industry. Together, they had noticed something: that good-quality, American-made textiles had become almost impossible to find. In particular, the bedding market was full of products that were either made overseas or cheaply made or too expensive. So, Jane and Jeff did what any good, textile-loving American would do: They started their own business.
How do you support America veterans?
Our commitment to country doesn’t stop at creating 100% American-made bedding and towels. We’re also passionate about supporting our nation’s veterans. That’s why for every five sets of sheets sold, we donate one set to an American veteran. It’s our small way of saying thank you to the bravest among us.

Our Products
Where is the cotton for your products grown?
Our cotton is grown in small batches in the American Southwest. We use only long-staple cotton fibers—the strongest and finest type—to make our Cool Flow Cotton.
How is your cotton woven?
The cotton is spun into smooth single-ply yarn and then woven into fabric using our proprietary method. It’s a bit of a secret, but we can tell you this much: The nature of our weave allows air to flow more freely through the fabric while maintaining the integrity of the fiber. This creates an exceptionally soft, breathable, and durable sheet.
What is thread count and why is it misleading?
Thread count is simply a measure of how many threads are woven into one square inch of fabric. The idea—promoted by marketing executives for years—is that the higher the thread count, the softer and more durable the sheet will be. But it’s not that simple. To start, thread count doesn’t take into account factors such as the material and yarn used, which have a much bigger impact on quality than thread count. At American CottonTM, we take thread count, breathability, softness, and durability into consideration to product the best quality cotton products for you and your family. For more information, read our blog entry.
What thread count are American Cotton products?
The nature of our weave makes it impossible for us to quote a thread count—but as you might have guessed by now, thread count is only one, often misleading, factor to consider when it comes to choosing good sheets. In fact, a lower thread count sheet made of high-quality fibers is likely to be softer and more durable than a higher thread count sheet made of low-quality fibers. Visit our blog entry for more information about thread count.
What makes American Cotton products so soft, crisp, and cool?
Our 100% American-made Cool Flow Cotton™ is what makes our sheets so soft, crisp and cool. The secret? We’ve developed a weave that allows us to open up the fabric for superior breathability while maintaining the integrity of the long-staple cotton fibers. The result is a soft, breathable sheet that will keep you cool—and stand up to the washing machine.
What are Perfect Fitted Sheets?
With extra deep corners and a special all-the-way-around elastic, our patented fitted sheets snap right on and stay put. Skip the battle of the fitted sheet and get right to the good part: tucking yourself into a crisp, fresh, airy pair of sheets. Our patented fitted sheets are extra wide elastic around the base and this means your sheet stays put. They have deep pockets in the corners to make it easier to put on and take off. Our patented construction creates a perfectly smooth surface and fits up to an 18" mattress.
How do I wash American Cotton products?
With proper care, our bedding and towels will last for years and years. Follow the instructions below to keep yours looking their best. The laundry care for Cool Flow Cotton bedding involves washing in cold water and tumble dry on medium. Because Cool Flow Cotton is natural, 100% cotton, it may wrinkle. You can iron if you’d like…though we’re pretty sure a few wrinkles never hurt anyone.
