Does thread count really matter when choosing sheets?

Mar 10, 2011 10:00 PM

I am thinking of getting some new sheets but there are so many thread counts available do they really matter?

Go to a store like B, B and B and feel the difference for yourself. I have some 200 thread count, some 600 and some 1000 and you can clearly feel the difference between each. 600 or more usually feels pretty good.

Yes, it matters, but it must be taken into consideration with the type of material (cotton versus a mix). Personally, I've found that the 400 thread count, egyption or pima cotton, are the best bet. Always soft, never pill up. are relatively inexpensive and go into the washer and dryer. A little wrinkly from the dryer, but just putting them on the bed takes away the wrinkles.
Sam's Club is the place I've found with the best buy on them. Good Luck!

@susan11125: Please don't comment on old questions (look at the date this was posted). No one will normally see your comment. The only reason I saw it is because I was specifically looking at your comment history, in relation to the comment you'd posted earlier today about voting.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
