The Myth of Thread Count
Do you fall into that trap that says you have to buy sheets with super high thread count in order to have bedding that is soft and comfortable? While high thread count is indeed a god thing, there comes a point where it is merely a gimmick some retailers use to charge a higher price for a product that is no better than some lower thread count products.
It does not do you any good to go above the mid 300’s in thread count. After that, thread count becomes a manipulation of techniques in order to be able to claim the highest thread count possible. Technically, the threads-per-square-inch measurement includes threads woven in all directions as well as twisted together in a 2-ply fashion. You probably won’t notice the difference between 350 and 700-thread count, the price difference will certainly make a difference on your budget.
