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.

Best Blanket Ever

Exceptional construction and attention to details. The weight is perfect for year round use. We’ve tried many different bedding combinations and fabrics and there’s nothing like cotton! The size on my King was generous and the weave pattern is smooth and comfortable I feel the cost is reasonable for an all American made blanket. Highly recommend

EXCELLENT quality

LOVE this blanket. We'd had it with thin cotton blankets that over stretch -- this one is such high quality, I understand why they call it 'heirloom.' I gave 4/5 stars only because I waited MONTHS and the neutral colors didn't come back on line (why?) so I had to order the yellow color to get for my bed what I already had for two couch/chair throws. Make more -- and make more neutrals!

Heritage Blankets are made to last!

I recently had the pleasure of trying out the Authentically50 Heritage Blankets, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! As someone who values quality and authenticity, this blanket truly hit the mark.

Overall, I can't recommend the Authentically50 Heritage Blankets enough. Not only is it a testament to American craftsmanship, but the outstanding customer support provided by Patrick truly sets this company apart. If you're in the market for a high-quality blanket that's made to last, look no further!

Prairie Yellow is Gorgeous

Perfectly complements our southwest pillows...this is a beautiful shade of yellow. I searched a lot of bedding sites! Don't be dissuaded by the price; this blanket is a good investment. The quality is great....edges are neat, weight is perfect for year round use, generous size, and the weave is so beautiful you can actually use it as a coverlet as I have. I will soon purchase a second one (desert rose) for our guest bedroom. This blanket is a bit more expensive, but not luxury priced, making it a great value proposition for the years of use it will give.
