One of the most important elements of a cozy home is a comfy bed. So, we were wondering, does a high thread count (and its usually corresponding high price) mean a better night's sleep?
Here are some interesting facts we found out from http://www.linenplace.com/product_guide/truth_about_thread_count.html
•"Thread count is simply the number of threads per square inch of fabric. These consist of vertical threads (warp) and horizontal threads (weft) woven together."
•"In a quality product, the incremental comfort value of thread counts over 300 is very little. A 300 thread count can feel far superior to a 1000 thread count."
•"There is no simple answer to the thread count...; there are thousands of combinations that will make a beautiful product."
•"At Linenplace, we do our best to present you with all the information you need to find the product that's right for you. We would like to encourage our customers to focus less on thread count and more on the other quality indicators (fiber quality, yarn size, finishing and construction). We believe you will get a better, more comfortable product that truly represents quality and value."
Well, we thank you for that Linenplace! And we'd like to add that, one of the snuffliest and most durable sheet sets we ever bought was purchased at Big K-Mart for a clearance price of something like $8.
