Sheet thread count

What do you consider a good thread count for sheets?  I need to replace our sheet set, and I can't remember what the thread count is.  Mr. Spiderman is convinced they're 1000 count, but I'm pretty sure we didn't win the lottery so I doubt we paid that much for sheets.

Re: Sheet thread count

  • I think mine are 600. Anything below 300 is too rough for me. And anything about 1000 just seems to be the same to me.

  • Our favorite sheets are fleece so that probably doesn't help.  Usually I need to feel them, I've felt some pretty soft 400 TC and some scratchy 600 TC, but usually the higher the TC the better.

  • It's not about thread count (for the most part) but length of the fiber, number of fibers twisted together to create the thread, and finish. I have had super soft wonderful sheets at 250 thread count and just okay sheets at 400 plus. I think in the 300 - 400 area you'll be fine but sheets are something I prefer to buy in person not online.

  • Yeah, I usually need to feel them first.  I have felt 600 tc that weren't soft enough.  I could be talking out of my ass here, but I think organic cotton (that sounds repetitive) is usually pretty soft.

  • If you wNt a soft sheet, forget about thread and get yourself some baby sealskin sheets. It's like sleeping on butter.

  • I like the feel of baby sealskin sheets, but I can't take the smell.

  • If you change your mind about the sealskin sheets, I bet Jens could help you out.

    I agree with Mod though that the thread count doesn't really matter.  We've had really high thread count ones that were crap, and my sheets right now are our favorite ever, and they're 230 count.  You can get 1000 thread count sheets for like $60 so you very well could have them.

  • We love a higher thread count but have fallen victim to sateen "cotton" ones...they don't last as long and we sweat more in them...

  • I have no clue what the thread count is but "Cuddledown" are the best sheets I have ever slept on.

    well, pure linen IS better,(well ironed) is best but the maid quit and I can't iron
