Did you know that thread count is important when it comes to shopping for your bedding? Contrary to popular belief, thread count does play a significant role when it comes to your bedding. Many people think they know precisely what thread count is and what it means for their sheets and comforters. While you may hold the belief that higher thread count means better quality, this truly depends on where you are purchasing your bedding from. This can be chalked up to certain manufacturers cutting corners where thread count is concerned, but we’ll get to that in a different post! For now, let’s go ahead and cover the basics... This is the difference thread count makes in your comforter!
We mentioned how thread count is important when it comes to bedding... So, for those of you who don't know much about thread count, let's talk about exactly what it is! According to How Stuff Works, "thread count means the number of threads woven together in a square inch. The idea is the finer threads you can weave together, the softer and finer the fabric."
Although higher thread counts typically mean that the product is more comfortable and higher quality, that's actually not always the case. Quality over quantity really does come into play here. If a bedding product has a high thread count, that doesn't mean that it's a higher quality product. There are several different aspects that factor into the quality of the product. What really makes the product to be higher quality is the quality of the fiber, the size of the yarn, the finishing, thread count, and of course, the overall construction.
Here at Warm Things, we pride ourselves on using high-quality materials for all of our products! We have products with 300, 400, 500, 600, 700+ thread counts... So, depending on the type of comfort and softness you're looking for, we have something that suits everyone! To see a full list of our products, visit WarmThingsOnline.com
How is Thread Count Calculated?
Now, let's talk about how you can calculate the total thread count... Thread count is determined by adding the number of horizontal threads (wefts) with the number of vertical threads (warps) that are woven together in a square inch of fabric. For example, if there were 500 warps and 500 wefts in one square inch of a comforter, the thread count would be 1,000. Simple, right?
Higher thread count is a good thing because with more threads, comes more durability. Of course, this is assuming that they are made with high-quality products. Comforters that have high thread counts can also mute fabric noise much better than those with low thread counts. This may not seem like it would be something you even notice - After all, how much noise can fabric really make? All we will say is, “you’d be surprised!” Skip the cheap low thread count comforter and invest in something that will not only be comfortable to your skin, but also to your ears.
That is the difference thread count makes in your comforter! We really hope that you were able to gain some insight on thread counts. Contrary to popular belief, thread count is actually very important when it comes to shopping for bedding, so know that you know, keep that in mind when shopping for new products.
