It’s not that thread count is an irrelevant detail, but it doesn’t mean that the higher number of threads, the better the quality. (Say it louder for the people in the back). High thread count does not mean high quality sheets. “Thread count is a measure that dictates the density of the fabric,” explains Jenifer Foley, retail manager of Frette North America. So, does a thread count of 1000 mean that the sheets are, say, triple the quality? Not exactly. ![]() When shopping for sheets, you’ll find that there are thread counts as low as 100 and as high as 1500. I knew it was time to turn to some experts in order to shop my way to a better night’s sleep. My fiancé and I went to every major department and bedding store comparing how sheets felt and still found ourselves totally lost. I didn’t know much about what I was looking for in a “good” sheet set, so I thought “let’s start with thread count”! I knew that the higher the thread count was, the better the sheets would be (or, at least I thought this was the case). at 10:45pm.ĭon’t get me wrong: I love a comfortable, neat bed and am firmly Team Flat Sheet, but when it comes to actually picking bed sheets-white sheets, to be specific-the options are, and I don’t mean to be dramatic, literally endless. ![]() Choosing bed sheets on the other hand? That’s on par with waiting 28 minutes for the next Q train at Times Square on a Wednesday night. Choosing fine china, overpriced picture frames, and luxurious glassware for other people to buy me has been, to this day, the peak of my existence. The most fun I’ve ever had in my life-better than a trip to Disney World or eating a "Cheeseburger in Paradise" at Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville-was building my wedding registry.
