Does thread count affect the quality of bed linen and is it the most important thing to think about when buying? This article takes a look at some other aspects to think about when purchasing bed linen.

You will be able to find quality bed linen from any of these: best bed linens, floral bed linen, best linens to buy

It is a widely held belief that a linen with a high thread count is of better quality than one with a low thread count. Maybe thread count is overemphasized and other factors to take into consideration are then overlooked such as 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. The importance of thread count when weighed against other factors is not so marked. 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 100% cotton sheets are the most popular. 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. That is why you have different types of cotton like Pima cotton and Egyptian cotton. Next we consider 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.

Once it is done the linen should undergo a process that is meant to make its color last longer and free of creases. 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. You would much rather go for lower thread count but with a strong fiber material. At least a stronger material will last longer. So you see that the quality of linen is affected by more than just thread count.
