Luxurious 1000 thread count sheets and higher are a great addition to your linen closet and will allow you to sleep in heavenly comfort. Keep in mind, however, that when buying your high thread count sheets you will want consider the details of the thread count construction as well as the quality of the fabric.
Thread count is one of several factors that determine the quality of your bed linens. Thread count is affected by a couple of factors, including ply and the thickness of the threads. Finer thread usually results in a smoother and softer fabric and this is the one of the reasons that high thread count sheets are considered more desirable than sheets with a low thread count.
The higher the thread count, the finer the quality of the sheet. It takes long fibers of cotton to make strong but thin threads, and it takes these silky thin threads to make high thread count fabrics. Thread count is a measure of the number of fibers in 1 square inch of fabric. For example, 1000 thread count sheets have 1,000 fibers per square inch. High thread count sheets usually refers to fabric with 300 and above threads per inch.
To fully understand what you are getting when you buy 1000 thread count sheets and higher, it is important to understand what the specifications for your sheets mean. In order to get a very high thread count, some manufactures of high thread count sheet will use 2 or more ply thread and, in doing so, the thread count will be counted once per ply of yarn. That said, you will find 1000 thread count sheets in 2, 3, and even 4 ply. In general, as the ply increases, so does the thickness and weight of the sheet. Another thing to consider when looking at the ply is that higher ply sheets will tend to pile faster.

Choosing what thread count sheet to get will depend on your preferences in a sheet. The benefits of having a high thread count sheets is that they must use a finer, higher quality thread in order to increase the number of threads in one square inch of fabric. These finer threads will ultimately give you a smoother and softer fabric.

We recommend considering both the thread count and the ply when deciding on what sheets to purchase. If you want the softest sheets you can get, try to find a high thread count and low ply (such as 1000 thread count sheets with single or 2 ply). However, be prepared to spend a bit more money for these at they are usually more expensive than the lower count and higher ply. If you prefer or you don’t mind a heavier set of sheets, the high thread count with a 3-4 ply thread should meet your needs. Just be sure to follow the washing instructions to prevent piling.
When you are buying sheets, there is more to look for than just the thread count. Consider the fiber of your linens. One of the finest types of cotton sheets available in the longer fibers is the Egyptian cotton. It is important to read the fiber information on your sheets carefully. Not all linens are made of 100% Egyptian cotton. Some sheets may state as little as 1% Egyptian cotton. If you are shopping specifically for Egyptian cotton sheets, make sure that the sheet specification state “100% Egyptian Cotton”.
