Quality Of Bed Linen
Just how much of an impact does thread count have on the quality of bed linen, and is it the most important fact to consider when choosing bed linen? This article takes a look at some other aspects to think about when purchasing bed linen.
As you look for your bed linen you might be interested in any of the following: bella lux fine linens, floral bed linens, gingerlily silk linens
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 reason most people tend to think that the thread count is most important is because of advertsing. 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 consider the size of the yarn which gives an indication of the fineness of the linen. The yarn can be spun as single ply or two ply, the two ply being a double wound single ply to give a finer fabric.
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. At least a stronger material will last longer. So you see then that it’s not all about the thread count.
