Does thread count really matter? Yes and no- it depends who is counting and how...
Thread Count | A term used mostly in the USA to establish a quality of fabric. A high thread count often means a softer "feel" and greater "pill"resistance. The number of threads counted in one square inch of fabric determines the "thread count" ![]() But, there are different ways of "counting" the threads. While most cotton fabric is woven from a thread using a single cotton fiber, Schweitzer cotton sateen and damask are made from a pair of fibers twisted together. ![]() This means that Schweitzer products often have TWICE the cotton fibers - for the same thread count - than other competitors products. ![]() ![]() Some people double their thread count because of this, Schweitzer never does. This means that a claim of 600 thread count is equivalent to a Schweitzer 300 thread count fabric. Most Schweitzer products are over 300 thread count with some reaching an unbelievably soft 1180 thread count fabric-the finest available. The superior 100% Egyptian cotton fabric that Schweitzer uses in its products has a smoother, softer feel, is a stronger fabric with a greater 'wearability' and enjoys a longer life. |
