   Sheet thread count is very vital. A very high thread count, can be hot in the summer. A low thread count, 200 or under, is a cheap sheet and you will feel the threads. It isn’t just the thread counts but the type of cotton , like Egyptian cotton that makes the 5 star hotel sheets feel so excellent. The egyptian cotton threads have longer fibers and make for a smoother sheet, it also last forever. That link in your dryer is the threads breaking loose from the fabrics. The longer the fiber the less breaking of the ends . So if you are looking for a soft smooth sheet, look for egyptian cotton, in a 400 count, any more then that can only be used in the winter. 400 is a excellent all year around sheet.

   High thread count sheets have a couple of disadvantages. Not only are they expensive, but they wear out more quickly. An alternative is to get bamboo sheets. They are super-soft, eco-friendly, and naturally anti-bacterial and anti-allergy. You can find some nice bamboo sets at http://www.buybedinabag.com
