What's the Reality About Thread-Count Bedding?

Should We Believe on the Thread Counts of Our Sheets?

More than a decade ago nobody knew about thread counts nor we imagine we had it on our bed sheets. Today we know that thread count is the number of threads in a square inch of fabric. Most good quality bed linens thread counts start at 150 thread count up to 1000+ thread count in a single square.

The quality of a bed linens is marketed as the highest of the thread count on it, the better quality are the sheets. Which may misguide most of us. Simply because the more warp (lenghwise) and weft (wedthwise) are woven into the square inch of the fabric. Making it tight where less air can pass thru. I have touched and felt many "high" quality high tread count sheets and I see that most I've touched are not so soft feeling as a good 300 and 400 thread counts. Simply because the quality of the fabric just can't be ignored or confused with the high amount of thread count on it.

Discount Department Stores often sell cheaper high tread count sheets made in China and India. But are those low cost high tread count sheets better? Not so fast, we all know that lots of those companies don't have good standards to woven a quality cotton because there are standards in the processing of the cotton. A fine quality linens begin with the fine cotton, the way the cotton is woven has more to be taking in consideration than the quantity of the thread count alone.

Linens manufactures in Europe have been wovening and making the best linens in the world for centures. They are passionate for the work they do they use techniques that has being passed down from many prior generations. So, if we have to relay in quality bedding and linens most likely those Italian and French known better what they are doing. Steady of just mass produced the linens, they create their linens with love and proud.
