What is Supima cotton?
Supima cotton is unarguably one of the world’s finest and softest types of cotton, known for its luxurious feel, long-lasting quality, and vibrant color retention. The word “Supima” is actually a blend of “Superior” and “Pima”, and it lives up to the name—being a superior grade of extra-long staple cotton.
Where Does Supima Cotton Come From?
When it comes to premium cotton, Supima stands out—not just for how it feels, but also for where it comes from. If you’ve ever slipped into a Supima cotton tee and wondered, “Why does this feel so ridiculously soft?”, you’re not alone. Let’s take a quick dive into the roots of this luxurious fabric.
It Starts in the USA 🇺🇸
Unlike many other types of cotton that are grown across the globe, Supima cotton is grown exclusively in the United States. Once again, the name “Supima” is a blend of “Superior” and “Pima”—because it truly is a step above.
Currently, Supima is cultivated by licensed American farmers in just four states: California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. These regions provide the ideal climate and soil conditions to grow long-staple cotton—the kind that delivers unmatched softness, durability, and vibrant color retention.
Grown with Purpose:
What makes Supima cotton exceptional is not just its geography, but the care behind every fiber. Supima cotton is grown using sustainable farming practices. The farmers are committed to reducing water usage, protecting the soil, and maintaining ethical growing standards. Plus, every batch of Supima is 100% traceable, ensuring authenticity from farm to final stitch.
This isn’t just cotton. It’s craftsmanship, science, and respect for nature—all rolled into a single fiber.
