What is Thread Count?
When considering luxury bedding, a common question arises: what is thread count? What does this term really mean and why should it matter to you? Join us as we delve into the details of thread count, debunk some prevalent myths surrounding it and introduce you to Coco & Wolf’s exceptionally soft and luxurious Liberty fabric bedding made using some of the world’s finest textiles.
What is Thread Count?
Thread count refers to the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric, combining both horizontal (weft) and vertical (warp) threads. For example, a fabric with a thread count of 300 has 300 threads in total per square inch. Generally, a higher thread count is associated with a softer, denser fabric, making it feel more luxurious against your skin. However, it’s important to note that the quality of the threads used is just as significant as the count itself.
In the realm of luxury bedding, what constitutes the ideal thread count is completely subjective and while many consumers may believe that a higher number automatically translates to better quality, this is not always the case.
Debunking Thread Count Myths
Myth 1: Higher Thread Count Always Equals Better Quality
One of the most pervasive myths is that higher thread counts always indicate superior quality. While a higher thread count can contribute to softness, it’s essential to consider the type of material used and the weaving technique. Fabrics made with shorter, weaker threads may have a high thread count but lack durability and comfort.
Myth 2: Thread Count Is the Only Factor in Luxury Bedding
While thread count is a significant factor, it isn’t the only one to consider when selecting luxury bedding. The quality of the raw materials, the weave, and the finishing techniques are just as important. Liberty’s signature Tana Lawn cotton made with long-staple cotton is famously known for its exceptional softness and smooth, luxurious finish, which to the touch will easily outperform many fabrics with a significantly higher thread count.
Myth 3: You Can’t Have Luxury with Lower Thread Counts
It is possible to find exquisite luxury bedding at lower thread counts, particularly when using high-quality materials. The beauty of bedding lies in its craftsmanship, where attention to detail and the quality of the fabric can create a delightful sleeping experience without requiring an extremely high thread count.
