AUToday we’re answering one of our most commonly asked questions: are higher thread count sheets better quality? 🪡
First, a basic definition: thread count is the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric.
200 thread count = 200 strands woven in one square inch
1000 thread count = 1000 strands woven in one square inch
Thread count isn’t a measure of quality of softness; it’s just a measure of the QUANTITY of threads woven.
If you’re looking for a high quality sheet, look for a sheet with the highest quality cotton fibres you can find! We always love Egyptian cotton and American Pima. Once you find a sheet made from excellent fibres, thread count is just a matter of personal preference.
If you’re still confused, think of thread count like a novel. Would you rather read a 100-page well-written book packed with interesting characters and plot twists? Or a 1000 page epic saga that’s boring and hard to read? It’s all about the QUALITY of the raw materials, not the number.
That being said, thread count shouldn’t be discounted! It all comes down to what YOU like. Our founder’s favourite sheets were the 220 TC cotton percale - she loved her sheets crisp and cool. Some of our customers can’t sleep without a densely woven, silky 1000 TC cotton sateen sheet.
If you’re interested in feeling the difference for yourself, we offer complimentary swatches of our cotton sheet fabrics from 220-1000 TC. Come and visit either of our Toronto stores or send us a DM for more info! We’d love to help you find the right sheets for you. 😴
