Pima cotton, also called extra long staple (ELS), is a type of cotton grown primarily in Peru, the southwestern United States and Australia. It is considered to be one of the superior blends of cotton and is extremely durable and absorbent.
In the case of pima cotton, the cotton is classified as a medium to long staple, meaning that the fibers are longer than those of regular cotton. Egyptian cotton is a long staple cotton, and a proprietary product known as SupimaÂ® is an extra-long staple cotton that is supposed to be of superior quality.
