2000 Thread Count Sheets
Below are just a few suppliers of 2000 thread count sheets
available.
There's debate all over the internet about whether 2000 thread count
sheets even exist. Thread count is the number of threads in a specified area. Simple physics says
there is finite number of real threads which can possibly be woven into that given area. The actual maximum
total is dependent, in part, on the fiber. For instance, silk is usually finer than cotton, so conceivably, a
manufacturer can weave more silk into the same area than cotton. And then you get into the various grades of
cotton, silk, satin, linen etc., as well as the types of the material involved. The point being: there is a
physical maximum # thread count. If it sounds too good to be true (i.e. 2000 thread count), then it
probably is. So be careful when looking at thread counts and consider that what's printed on the packaging
may not be exactly what you're getting.
2000 Thread Count Sheets
Even if they say 1000 thread count, thread count is in fact only one area to measure the
quality of a sheet by. You need to consider 3 things: where the fabric is grown, how and where the cotton is woven
and then where it is fabricated. Egypt grows the best cotton in the world (The closer to the Nile the better).
Italians have been weaving fabrics for thousands of years and they really are the best at it and they have the best
techniques worldwide (You can't beat practice) and finally where it is fabricated determines how it will be
finished and the quality of the final details and sewing.
Once you're in this quality of sheeting you can start off with a 220 thread count sheet or even 400
thread count which is like butter and anything above that is extremely luxurious and not neccesary for
eveyone. Believe me, once you've experienced 100% Egyptian cotton woven in Italy you'll never go back!! And
you'll be thanking me, cause you won't be sleeping on sandpaper anymore. You'll feel like you're sleeping at a
luxurious boutique hotel everynight. And one more thing, yes these will be more expensive than what you've
been purchasing at these other stores, but these can last you for 10-30 years if you take care of them.
The bottom line is, when looking for quality sheets, feel each of the fabrics in the store
and choose what's best for you. You are the only one that can determine what will be the most comfortable and
what won't.
