Because of this, they are aaaahmazing workhorse sheets. Percale sheets have a high thread-thickness (also called denier), and it's quite difficult to shove more than that in the measurable space. I know that sounds craaazy! 200 threads/square inch? Ah, but there's a method to this madness. If you're the first type, go for percale sheets, 200-300 thread count. Do you like your sheets crisp, stiff-feeling, kinda snappy? Are you the type of person who actually sleeps with a top sheet? tucked in under the mattress with a blanket and a coverlet on top? Or, do you like your sheets to be silky, smooth-feeling and drapey? Do you always wind up with your blankets wrapped around your legs and don't even bother with a top sheet anymore because it just gets all twisted up anyway? There is one thing you do have to decide before determining which strata of thread count you want (thick-thread/average count, or thin-thread/higher count). So DON'T go for some of the more insanely-high thread-count sheets. (Yuuuck!) Nothing will make you suspect someone ate crackers in your bed faster than pilly sheets. With infinitesimally small broken threads, you're going to be looking at the most uncomfortable problem with old sheets: pilling. Unfortunately, the thinner the thread, the more likely it is going to break. The thinner the thread, the more of 'em they can pack into that space. The way that companies are able to squeeze more and more threads per square inch into their sheets is by thinning the threads. But does thread count actually affect the durability of sheets? Yes, but not in the way that you think! Ok, here's a little info on bedding you might like to know from a fabric expert! => ME :-Dįirst up! we have thread count! Every bedding company and their mom is riding the "highest thread count" train. They deleted their post, otherwise I’d link back to it (I saved it all in a file for when I purchased sheets!): Reposting good information that u/jessthepest posted in here a long time ago.
