The Truth About Thread Count
“The number of yarn per square inch“Higher does NOT mean better. Thread count is not the only way to determine quality—it’s the prestige and their beautiful, exclusive patterns, materials, and embroidery.” Quality control varies country to country and material to material, sell and quality definitely go together. In an interview with New York Magazine, Amanda Mettler, a textile buyer for Gracious Home, said “I can ensure a 200 thread count from Italy is better quality than a 1,000 thread count from Pakistan.” Also the 200 thread count cotton, bamboo bed sheets is better than 1000 thread count polyester or microfiber sheets. Different thread count sheets differ from different materials and demand for different softness, comfort, breathability.
