When people go shopping for the sheets of their dreams, most commonly they tend to judge fabrics by the number of threads by square inch...But is there any reason for this mad thread count? The vendors seem to believe so, or at least they seem to be very speculative with this, putting these sheets out on sale at quite high prices.

Luxury bedding nowadays means that the sheet has a very high number of threads, thus the fabric is said to be more pleasant to touch and feel. But this does not give any guarranties that chemicals weren’t involved in the whole process. Chemicals may give people the impression that the sheets are smooth and of qood quality, but this is only until the finishes wear off. All that remains behind them is poor quality fabric, that may harm your skin. Maybe the manufacturers have added several plies of fabric together to get a good score at thread count.
