Increasing thread count in bedsheets was a marketing trend from the '90s, suggesting a higher quality, but it may not lead to better sleep quality. High thread counts can trap heat, which disrupts sleep, especially for those who tend to get hot at night. Additionally, thread count can be manipulated by manufacturers, leading consumers to focus on sheet material quality instead. Prioritizing the fabric, whether it's bamboo or Egyptian cotton, is essential for ensuring comfort, as material quality significantly influences the overall sleeping experience.
More fabric must be better and last longer, right? But while thread count does affect the density and feel of that fabric, it doesn't necessarily make it a great bedsheet.
Manufacturers can manipulate thread count using thinner threads, so it's important to consider multiple aspects of sheet quality beyond just the number of threads.
Staying too hot at night is a major sleep disrupter, since you need to be able to lower your body heat in order to fall asleep.
Material quality can be difficult for shoppers to gauge unless they're deeply entrenched in where businesses are sourcing their fabrics from.
