Review on Threadmill 300 Thread Count Sage Green Twin Sheet Set πŸ›οΈ - Silky Soft Sateen Sheets, 100% Cotton, Breathable, & Wrinkle Free by Katie Washington

Large selection of sheets

We've used Ross or TJMaxx sheets for years, because who wants to shell out $100 for a set of sheets? We've never cared much about thread count, cotton type etc. but wanted something that was decent quality and not too expensive. flannel, etc.) number of threads (100, 200, 300, 450, 600 and more) type of weave (percale, satin, satin, etc.), as well as pattern and color. As for the material, I want 100% cotton. Any synthetic fiber would be too hot for me, but when you sweat, the cotton sheets get wet and the blended fabric can breathe and dry better. Egyptian cotton is of a high quality, but I don't care who grew the cotton. By thread count, this is a minefield. The thread count may look slightly larger than it really is as vendors can print whatever they want and anything over 600 will be fake if they twist two threads together to get 1200, but it's not "thinner". than 600, only bulkier twisted cotton. Most people buy reeds by the number of threads, but two different reeds of 300 are not the same, so what can a consumer do? I say avoid anything that requires more than 600 threads. And you don't necessarily need the maximum number of threads. Fewer threads make the sheet lighter and more breathable, and it's more suitable for situations when you need something not too hot in summer. As far as "weaving" goes, I learned a little about the different ways they can weave yarn into a sheet. Percale has a strong, "crisp" cotton handle, while satin is a special weave that feels very "soft" to the touch due to the way it lets the threads through in the weave pattern. I like the sturdy look of percale, but I prefer satin for its softness. My strategy is to avoid unfamiliar brands of disposable sheets, choose a BRAND that sells a wide range of thread counts, and choose the right sheet within that range. I'm glad I found the Threadmill brand - they have a great range of sheets in different thread counts and weaves, as well as beautiful packaging and eco-friendly marketing. And they are not expensive at all. In the end I settled on a 300 thread count satin sheet. It's soft, light (I have a very warm blanket), a pleasant dark green color and inexpensive. It's just as nice and soft as other 600 TC reeds I've had. I highly recommend Threadmill.
