The Ultimate Guide to Premium Pure Cotton Bedsheets for Elegant Bedroom Décor: Thread Count Decoded
Share
Are thread counts above 500 in bedsheets more marketing hype than actual comfort? The answer is YES! Thread count between 200 & 500 is often considered the sweet spot for bedsheets because it strikes a harmonious balance between softness, breathability & durability. At this range, the fabric is densely woven enough to feel smooth & luxurious against your gentle skin, yet not so tightly packed that it becomes heavy or traps heat.
Overly high thread count often involves twisting multiple threads together to inflate the number. In fact, excessively high thread counts can lead to stiff, less breathable sheets that compromise comfort.
World-famous Egyptian cotton, Pima cotton & bamboo can even feel luxurious even at lower thread counts; it all depends on the extra-long staple cotton. The fibre quality & weave (like percale & sateen) play a bigger role in how sheets feel. So, if someone says otherwise, trust me, it's just a marketing gimmick to make you splurge more or to show off.
At Gold Dust you'll find Indian regular long staple combed cotton used in our handblock percale bedsheets, which range between 200-300 TC & sateen finish 300 TC bedsheets. Comfort isn't about chasing numbers but knowing what really matters. Sleep smart, not spendy!
