Yeah, you heard right. Here's a little background information on the new 1000 thread count sheets available on the market today. Basically we have to look at how the item is made. Most sheet sets are constructed out of cotton. Cotton is fundamentally a fabric that is woven into form. Each square inch of cotton has a certain number of threads that are used in the weaving process. Today, weaving has become quite high-tech and some manufacturers have produced thread that is so fine that 1000 of them can be fit into a square inch of fabric.
So how does it feel to sleep on 1000 count sheets? A person may get a better night's sleep on a lower number of threads than on 1000 thread count sheets. In order to reach the high number, the yarns have to be woven together making the bed set heavier and thicker and this is not always the most comfortable.
