do the words "Thread" and "count" mean anything to you? :P

DH and I are such bedroom snobs, we bought a comforter with 400 thread count, and now we won't have anything else. It was expensive, but I love it SO much!!

Anyone else a threadcount hoor?

um I am. Ours are all 800 and above but when they get to high of a count I actually dont like the way they feel. I actually think they feel dirty

Oh yeah, I look at the thread count. I get some pretty good deals on Overstock.com on higher thread counts.

Same here, 450 thread count chocolate brown sheets, but the kids prefer jersey sheets.

:yes I am a snob. I have learned that with the higher count sheets it takes that much longer to get them soft.

I have two sets that I rotate. One is a 1000 count set, and the other is 400. I actually like the 400's better. But, it's probably because I like the design. lol.

I look, but I let feel guide me more than anything. I have some super expensive ones I love, and some super cheap ones I love too. It really depends on what they are made out of I think.

I hate sheets so Im not a thread count whore. I may be tho if I bought nice sheets and saw what the fuss was about.

I don't look at the thread count. I buy only the T-Shirt Jersey sheets. I won't buy anything else. Yep Yep. That's right.. Hardcore redneck here... Wurd.

Kinda sad that I work part time at Linens and Things.. Isn't it?

DH and I are TC whores...so are our kids. They "itch" if they have cheap sheets. And I LOVE the feeling of good cotton high thread count sheets at night.

400 and up. But if you go to high then it has that Sateen feel to it and BLECH I can't stand that

:yes only because I break out when the thread count is low and it is cheaply made :sigh.

01-23-2008, 08:29 PM
Oh me and my DH love higher threadcount numbers...but we just can't afford them :(

D.........
01-23-2008, 08:59 PM
Oh I will be!!!!! No less than 400!!!!! In Germany we don't do TC but I might have just never heard of it!

I'm spoiled. I only like 800+ thread count, any lower and it feels like sandpaper

I used to be all "OMG threadcount doesn't matter :blahblah"

Then I got some REALLY LOW threadcount sheets.... yeahhhhhhh threadcount matters to me now :lmao

SOFT SHEETS are the best. I buy the highest threadcount I can afford at the time. Good sheets are worth the investment. Who's up for sleeping in a paper sack? *giggle*

honestly no. I'm not a fan of anything above 400......I think they feel weird. they make me hot........

comforters I will invest alot of money in, but not sheets.......I buy new sheets frequently.

yes it does! The higher the better. Speaking of sheets I gotta get some new ones.

if we can afford it, I will. I have a pair of 350 TC sheets on my bed right now and they are super soft. I just can't justify spending over 100 bucks on a pair of sheets(we have a king sized EXTRA deep mattress)

I've never had sheets lower than 250 and I deal with those. I actually prefer the jersey knit sheets too. :dunno

I used to be soooooo into the Jersey knit also but then I discovered the 400TC sheets and now that's what I use. I don't think I've ever used anything higher than 400 but I won't buy anything lower than that now either.

what ???? your only a 400 TC sista???? holy shit girl wait till you sleep on the 600 TC!

DH is the one that is hooked- he says it is like sleeping on silk-- little does he know that IT is almost silk!! Don't get me wrong I love it too, but I could onnly afford to buy 1 set and I have one 400 - hopefully with tax refund I can get another set.

I'm a snob, I guess. It HAS to be 1000 Thread Count Egyptian Cotton. I've tried going lower but I feel like I stick to the bed at night

We're snobish! We will only buy 1000TC or higher. Our comforter is 450 TC b/c at the time we wouldnt find anything higher.

250 may as well say "sand paper" to me these days. I'm turning into a threadcount snob too.
