How To Shop For 600 Thread Count Sheets And Linens
Six hundred (600) thread count sheets are the most common types of bedding on the market. When searching for bedding and linens for your bedroom it is important to consider a number of criteria before making a purchase. Verifying thread count, the fiber quality and the material of your sheets are crucial factors in choosing your 600 thread count selection. This article will help you in buying your next set of bed linens and you will also find out ways to authenticate and preserve the quality of your sheets.
What is thread count?
A thread count is the measurement of threads per square inch of fabric. When buying standard 600 thread count sheets, be aware that many manufacturers often use misleading marketing techniques to advertise their product. These companies often use a different system of thread counting that counts each individual ply of the stitching as one thread. Checking your selection underneath a light will help verify the manufacturer’s claim. The stronger the fabric, the less light will pass through and chances are if you can see right through your fabric, the lesser quality it is. Typical standard quality thread counts range from 400-600 and this information can be used as a base point when judging the authenticity and quality of your sheets.
Size
You can find the standard 600 count sheets in a variety of mattress sizes. Before making a decision on which you are set to go with, be sure to measure your bed, mattress and frame and to assess all the measurements to make sure that your sheets have the proper fit.
Material and Fiber Quality
Do you notice little pieces of fiber or material coming off your sheets? 600 thread count sheets are not the fanciest selection of bedding, but good material should not “shed.” If you have just purchased a 600 thread count sheet and notice that your fabric is weakening, return the item and, depending on how long ago you made your purchase, you may be entitled to a refund. If you have not experienced shedding or loosening of fibers, than you are in the clear, but be sure to always double check on a regular basis.
Proper handling Also be sure to wash your bedding and linens properly. Check the tags on your sheets and make sure that they are being washed in the proper water temperature, spin cycle and drying methods. Handling of your bed sheets is essential in maintaining its quality.
