Buying sheets is a little more complicated than one would expect. Here's everything to know.
, it wasn't long that sheets typically had thread counts of 120 . In the '60s, they say, a sheet with a 180 thread count was considered a luxury. "Now you see 1,000 thread count sheets -- but you just can’t get that many threads on a loom," says Pat Slaven, a textile expert at Consumer Reports.
Where are they getting that higher number? Some manufacturers use low-quality fibers or even"cheat" by counting the strands or plies that make up an individual thread as additional threads. How? Manufacturers will use much thinner strands of fabric twisted together, and then they double, triple or even quadruple the thread count -- even though it's essentially one thread . In other words, a thread count of 600 might really be just 300 low-quality double-ply threads.
