What does “thread count” mean and why is it important?
Thread count helps determine the quality of the sheet and is simply the number of threads in one square inch of fabric. Quality sheeting begins at 180 threads per square inch. The higher the thread count, the softer the “hand” or feel of the sheet and the more pill resistant it will be. Look for the word “percale,” which means the sheet has a thread count of 180 or higher.
