The Purity- Olive - King - 100% Pure Cotton Bedsheet (108×108 inches) and Mirage Crimson - King - 100% Pure Cotton Bedsheet (108×108 inches) are both superior quality sheets for people who want the best in terms of comfort and durability.
For extra large mattresses, Princeton Sapphire - King - 100% Pure Cotton Bedsheet (108×108 inches) would also work. It provides the same types of breaths and softness as the first two.

- Very breathable, great for the hot, humid climate of India.

Advantages of Using Microfiber:
- Cost effective
