If you’ve ever been dazzled by “1000 thread count” promises, you’re not alone. Thread count gets thrown around like it’s the holy grail of bedding, but here’s a secret: it’s not the full story. Let’s debunk some myths, talk about what actually makes sheets great, and why Linen Cupboard's single-ply threads are the unsung heroes of your bedroom.
What Even Is Thread Count?
Thread count is the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric. Simple enough, right? Except some brands take that number on a wild ego trip by using tricks like twisting short fibres into multi-ply threads. The result? Inflated numbers that sound impressive but deliver stiff, sweaty, underwhelming sheets.
It’s like saying, “Look at my 1000-horsepower car!” only to discover it’s powered by hamsters on a wheel.
What Really Makes Sheets Awesome?
-
Material Is Everything
High-quality cotton—like Egyptian cotton—has long fibres (fancy term: staples) that make the fabric smoother, softer, and way more durable. - Weave Style Changes the Game
- Percale: Crisp, cool, and perfect if you sleep like a human furnace.
- Sateen: Silky, cosy, and ideal for when you want to feel a bit fancy.
-
Thread Count: Less Is More
A 300–400 thread count made with premium cotton will outshine that dodgy 1200-thread-count set every single time. It’s not the number; it’s how you use it.
Why Single-Ply Threads Are Basically Bedding Royalty
At Linen Cupboard, we use single-ply threads because we’re not here for shortcuts—or multi-ply nonsense. Here’s why single-ply is worth bragging about:
- Softness You Can Feel: Single-ply threads are smooth, lightweight, and feel like a gentle hug from a cloud.
- Breathe Easy: These threads allow better airflow, so you’re not waking up feeling like you’ve spent the night in a sauna.
- Durability to Brag About: Long fibres mean no pilling, less wear and tear, and sheets that can handle the wild ride of your washing machine.
- No Thread Count Lies: We don’t inflate numbers; we just make bedding that’s genuinely fantastic.
It’s like the difference between handmade pasta and instant noodles—once you’ve tried the good stuff, there’s no going back.
Why Egyptian Cotton Is Worth the Hype
Egyptian cotton has extra-long fibres that make sheets ridiculously soft and strong. Pair that with our single-ply threads, and you get sheets that are breathable, durable, and so comfy you’ll think twice about ever getting out of bed.
