Growing up, my parents bought whatever bed sheets were on sale that they could afford.
When my wife and I got our own place, we "splurged" and got 400CT thread count. These were nice compared to anything I owned before.
Now we are due for new sheets. I have heard of thread counts of 600, 750, 800, 1000 and even up to 1500! The price is proportional to thread count so this is a luxury item. I am at an age in my life where these things excite me. But I want to be careful and not waste my money.
Does anyone have any recommendations? Are the high end 1000+ thread count worth it or does it not matter after a certain point. I am doing my own research but I want to get some feedback from this group. Thanks!
"Thread Count" is no longer an indicator of quality, nor is "Egyptian Cotton". Scumbags have flooded, diluted then poisoned the market with "1200 Threadcount Egyptian Cotton Sheets ' sold in parking lots across the world.
After 600 count, IMO, you really can't tell a difference. I bought some 600 and to me they seem to have almost a "hard" feeling. TBH, they're almost too thick, very hot in the summer, even 100% cotton. I think 500 is the sweet spot, personally.
Save your money and wait for sales in the off season. Kohl's had some amazing price cuts on sheets if they have those where you are. I got Jennifer Lopez sheets for king bed that were regularly 300 bucks for about 40 dollars. Not bad for 600 thread count!
Hi everyone!
I am in search of a unicorn! About 10-15 years ago stores stopped making quality sheets. Every sheet set I’ve bought has been thin and lasted only a year or so. I recently found a bottom sheet stored away from my grandmother. It was very heavy and thick cotton. The label said it was from kohls. She died about 10 years ago so I’m guessing the sheets are from 10-15 years prior. They are the thickness of 2-3 modern sheets. I am happy to spend a few hundred dollars on sheet sets.
