Thread count refers to the number of threads woven into a square inch of fabric. A higher thread count generally indicates a softer, more durable sheet. To determine thread count, divide the number of threads per inch by the number of threads per inch. For example, a sheet with a thread count of 400 has 400 threads per square inch.
Thread count is an important factor to consider when purchasing sheets because it can affect the feel, durability, and breathability of the fabric. A higher thread count sheet will typically feel softer and smoother than a lower thread count sheet. Higher thread count sheets are also more durable and less likely to pill or tear. However, it is important to note that thread count is not the only factor that determines the quality of a sheet. The type of fiber used, the weave of the fabric, and the finishing treatments can also affect the feel, durability, and breathability of the sheet.
