What’s the best thread count for cotton sheets?<\/strong><\/p>\nFirst of all let’s talk about what thread count means. Thread count just refers to the individual yarns per square inch of fabric. It’s widely considered that the higher the thread count, the better the sheets, but that’s not necessarily true.<\/p>\n
In fact it really all depends on the quality of the cotton. When you’re working with long or extra-long staple cotton, a good thread count benchmark to follow is 250 to 600, with the higher end of that spectrum being luxuriously high.<\/p>\n
If you’re not working with long or extra-long fibers and you’re working with an inferior, shorter cotton fiber, then the thread count value goes out the window.<\/p>\n
In fact some bedding brands will splice together hundreds and hundreds of short inferior cotton fibers in order to boast a higher thread count.<\/p>\n
What kind of cotton sheets are crisp?<\/strong><\/p>\nThe short answer is percale woven cotton sheets are gonna offer that really crisp cool hand feel, while sateen woven cotton sheets are much more silky and smooth.<\/p>\n
What are the coolest cotton sheets to sleep on?<\/strong><\/p>\nAgain cotton percale is a great way to go for hot sleepers because a percale weave tends to produce a lighter, more breathable and more cooling set of sheets. But if you’re looking for cooling sheets not in the cotton variety, tensile, linen and bamboo are great ways to go.<\/p>\n
Is Pima cotton the same as Egyptian cotton?<\/strong><\/p>\nI already touched on this earlier, but it’s important to note that both Pima and Egyptian cotton are widely considered superior types of cotton because of their extra-long and supple fibers. The longer the fiber, the more durable the finished product.<\/p>\n
That said, the main difference between the two is geography. You’ve got Egyptian cotton sourced from the Nile River Valley and Pima cotton is exclusively grown and harvested in the U.S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
