Are High Thread Count Bed Sheets Really Worth The Higher Cost?
The incredible softness of high thread count bed sheets sets the standard for those who desire only the best in their bedding ensembles. Though not particularly well known for their durability, high thread count bed sheets are said to feel thicker and softer to the touch.
Thread counts are determined by counting the number of horizontal and vertical threads woven together in a square inch of fabric. These counts can range from 80TC all the way up to 1500TC.
In the highly competitive bedding industry, thread count has actually become more of a marketing plow for selling luxury bed sheets than a quality standard.Bedding manufacturers have been known to overly state thread counts by counting the individual plies of a thread rather than the actual threads.
High thread count bed sheets are typically more expensive than those with lower threat counts, but the higher price tag doesn't guarantee an extended product life cycle.Good quality bed sheets start at 180TC, with anything above 200TC considered better quality.
