it just means that there are 200 more threads in a given area and it is supposedly better but i can't tell the difference. in my opinion, anything 800 or over is exceptional.
Answer two:
It depends on what they are using for a count. Sometime the thread count refers to the number of threads woven per inch, and sometime it refers to the number of threads that are in each bundle. When you take three or four plies of thread, which means three or four threads wrapped together, you can increase the number of threads per inch with out actually making a better, softer product.
A waste of money. LOL No, really, thread count indicates the amount of threads in one inch of fabric. The higher the thread count, the higher the supposed quality of the fabric and the higher the price. The lower the thead count, supposedly the lower the quality and the lower the price. This is usually a factor when purchasing sheets and pillowcases. (According to Consumer Reports, thread count higher than 450 is a waste of money.)
Any high thread count will do, but consider gettng a 800 thread count if you can find it.
Thompson sheets offer the highest thread count at 800.
The higher the thread count, the softer the sheets. Typically, sheets can range from 300 to 1600 thread count
Egyptian cotton usually has a 200 or greater thread count.
The easy answer is 750. Thread count indicates the number of threads counted in one square inch of the fabric. 250 thread count fabric will be woven looser and feel rough to the touch in comparison to 1000 thread count fabric. Another difference is price. The higher the thread count the higher the price. According to Consumer Reports, anything over 400 thread count is a waste of money.
No. Microfiber thread count cannot be compared to the thread count in cotton. A 1500 thread count bed sheet of Microfiber might not be half as heavy in weight or thick enough as a 600 thread count cotton sheet, but it will be far softer than a cotton 600 count. It is similar to comparing apples and oranges. Microfiber has a thread count of it's own and tends to remain thinner, although it gets softer, with higher thread counts. Cotton on the other hand, tends to get thicker and heavier as the thread count goes higher, so a 1500 count sheet in cotton might weigh like a blanket.
Yes you can find a Damask duvet cover with a 205 thread count
I think the thread count is just 200.
The "Fieldcrest Luxury Jacquard Duvet" features a 400-Thread-Count.
Technically, thread count means the number of threads woven together in a square inch. You count both lengthwise (warp) and widthwise (weft) threads. So 100 lengthwise threads woven with 100 widthwise threads produce a thread count of 200.Â_
Higher thread count means the weave is denser, thus the fabric is softer and more durable. A lower thread count is less durable and will wear more quickly.
Egyptian cotton sheet sets & Pillow cases has the highest Thread count in single-Ply with 1500 thread count luxury sheet set.
