9. Determining the quality and superiority of one sheet versus
another is more than just Thread Count...
Thread Count is a number - but what are you counting? Thread count refers to the number of individual
threads woven into one square inch of fabric. The common perception is that the higher the thread count, the bet-
ter quality the fabric will be. This is not always the case. The number IS important, but the quality of the threads
themselves is also crucial in creating beautiful bedding. Fiber type, fiber length, yarn and fabric weave all play a
part when choosing high-quality bedding.
The best fabric is woven with single ply yarns made from long-staple fibers of superior cottons and linens. When
looking for the finest cottons, take notice of a high thread count, but also make sure they are made using a
long-fiber cotton, such as Egyptian.
Ultra high thread count sheets can sometimes be inferior to moderate thread count sheets produced with premium
fibers. For example, a 300-thread count 100% Egyptian Cotton sheet is superior to a 500-thread count sheet made
with cotton-polyester blend fibers. Some of the extremely high thread counts tend to be misleading as they usually
count the individual threads in 'plied' yarns (a yarn that is made by twisting together multiple finer threads). For
marketing purposes, a fabric with 250 two-ply yarns in both the vertical and horizontal direction could have the
component threads counted to a 1000 thread count.
How the fabric is woven should also be considered. Different weaves will produce different finishes, textures, and
weights.
There is no simple answer to the thread count, ply, and fiber game; there are thousands of combinations that will
make a beautiful product. At Patterson Group, we carry a large selection of high-quality bedding and sheeting, so
you can find the best product for your client.
