Thread Count And Bed Linen

Does thread count affect the quality of bed linen and is it the most important thing to think about when buying? This article talks about all the considerations to bear in mind when purchasing linen.

You will be able to find quality bed linen from any of these: bella lux fine linens, patterned bed sheets, gingerlily silk linens

We have all been led to believe that the higher the thread count then the better the quality of the linen. Rather than focus on the thread count, other factors need to be taken into consideration as well like the type of fabric. It would be wrong to think that all bed linen was made from linen

Yes actually thread count does affect the quality of the linen and yes the higher the thread count the better the linen. If we put other factors into the picture though like fiber quality, yarn size and the finish then its importance tends to diminish. The emphasis that has been placed on the thread count can all be attributed to the marketing media. At this point it would help to go through the other qualities and how much of an effect they have on bed linen.

The most common and preferred sheets are the 100% cotton sheets. Now two things will affect the quality of a cotton sheet. The length of the cotton fiber, naturally the longer the fiber the stronger the product. This is what gives rise to the various kinds of cotton like Pima cotton and Egyptian cotton. Next we look at the size of the yarn which gives an indication of the fineness of the linen. If you have heard of the terms sinlge ply, two ply and so on this is where they come in and a multiple wound fabric is of better quality than one with less yarn.

The finish is an industry secret that low quality bed linens may not undergo. Just to sum it up you might have linen made from nylon or polyester that is high in the thread count at a high price and yet considering the fabric it is not strong. In such cases you are better of settling for a material that is strong but having a lower thread count. This way you are assured that the linen you buy will last you a much longer time. So you see that the quality of linen is affected by more than just thread count.
