We all want to get quality for the money we pay for our bed linen and bedding accessories but how do we know what to look for. Here are some tips to guide you in finding good products for your bed that will be both stylish and long lasting from your on-line store..
Thread count
What is thread count?
Thread count relates to the number of threads running horizontally and vertically in one square inch of fabric. You will probably find that most stores have product ranges with thread counts from 180 to 320 and in general the higher the number thread count the better quality product you will be getting. On high thread counts you would feel the difference in the softness of the fabric and it will have a better visual appearance. According to Consumer Reports cotton and fabrics blended with cotton and a thread count of 180 to 200 provide better wear and tear and give more comfort to the owner. Therefore you could pay a little extra for a higher thread count but it will last you much longer and mostly likely stand up to more use than a lower thread count fabrics.
Egyptian Cotton
Many of us have heard of Egyptian cotton and associate this with quality in bedding and clothing, but what does this actually mean? Cotton has been farmed and grown along the Nile in Egypt for a very long time and is a big part of the Egyptian industry. The cotton produced is a long staple cotton which in turn produces the exceptional fine and soft Egyptian cotton fabric. It is used to make very fine linen and luxurious fabrics very often used in bedding and sheeting. The higher percentage (%) Egyptian cotton in the fabric the better quality product you will be getting. Egyptian cotton stands up well to heavy use and washing and should last for many years to come.
