What is the truth about thread count as a measure of quality?
Thread count is very misunderstood. Higher thread counts do not assure comfort or quality. After a certain point, the denser the number of threads per square inch, the heavier and less supple the fabric becomes. A very high thread count (800 and above) sheet will be hot and heavy on the body and you’ll feel like you’re sleeping under a tablecloth. We recommend 400 to 600 for optimal comfort. With bed linens, it is the weight per square meter that counts. The optimal weight for sheets is 110 grams per square meter.
