A Look Behind the Seams

The finest sheets start with the world's best cotton

The finest sheets start with the world's best cotton

Premium cotton is the primary ingredient in Authenticity 50 luxury sheets, and this sets us apart from all other bedding products out there.

The entire manufacturing process is exceedingly important and can not be downplayed. However, if we start with the best cotton in the world, our American spinners & weavers can utilize their expertise to create something truly special.

Authenticity 50 partnered with a cotton farm in the San Joaquin Valley of California, which has been family-owned for more than 50 years, and

employs hundreds of people. I visited the farm so I could meet the people behind the product, see how the cotton is farmed and processed, and verify the source.

One of the great things being about Made in the USA, is that my cotton farm is only a 3.5 hour drive away from Los Angeles, versus a 15 hour flight to Egypt!

Founder inspects the Supima cotton farm

When I met with the staff, they generously spent 6 hours with me, giving me a comprehensive tour of the entire picking process. A former Marine took me up in a helicopter to view the vast farm, employees showed me how they grade and process the Supima® cotton, and they also confirmed that our sheets are getting top grade Supima®! We even compared staple lengths of regular upland cotton to Supima®, and the staff educated me on how the extra-long staple (used in our sheets) translates into a softer hand feel and a more durable yarn.

There is a reason our Supima® costs more than 2x the price of upland cotton and it shows in the product. The staff explained to me that a large amount of Supima® is exported, only to come home to America as finished product. They also told me that they are thrilled to see A50 launch and keep production in the States!

Authenticity 50 founder learning how Supima cotton compares to Egyptian cotton

I was very happy to hear that, as keeping manufacturing here in our country is paramount to themission behind Authenticity 50. This experience drove home the importance of our partners to our business and the value of the relationships we can build with them. No product exists in a vacuum and we’re thrilled to be working with great family-owned businesses like our California cotton farm. They are truly the best in the business.

The next installment in this series talks about the yarn spinning process.

Unfortunately, your web site is very hard to navigate.
I bounced all over the place and apparently you offer 2 types of sheets:
(1) Heritage American Sheets and (2) Signature Sheets.
They all seem to be out of stock.
There is no side-by-side comparison – which would be extremely helpful.
An explanation of the lower thread count (can’t remember which sheet – but it is way below the industry minimum of 200 TC).
I only found one price ($229) and I was not sure which sheet (HAS or SS), what size sheet it was for, or if it was a set (and what size was the set).
Call me if you want more “unsolicited” input.

Wonderful blanket

I’ve waited a little while for this king blanket in the color I wanted to be back in stock but it was worth the wait.

Great Blanket

Received my blanket in just a few days. First thing I did when I opened the package was smell the blanket. NO ODOR!! It actuall had no odor but it smelled clean! Then I washed and dried it according to the directions. If it shrunk, its absolutely unnoticable. We have a queen size bed, but being cautious I ordered a king to be sure it would still be big enough for our bed after it was washed. This blanket is all they said it would be. Very heavy but not hot. Love, love it! Well worth every penny. Don't be afraid to order.

Great Blanket!

We love our new blanket! It is the perfect weight and is generous in size. It stays tucked in which keeps the bed looking neat and it's easy to make in the morning. I bought this blanket to support companies who make their products in the USA and I expect to receive a much better product...I was not disappointed. Thank you!

Beautiful but too much lint

The blanket is pretty but the lint has been unbearable. I’ve tried washing and drying. It may just be my blanket but I’m putting it away or giving it to charity.
