Hrmmmm. Then why are people always going on about 400 or 600 count sheets?
Now i'm confused.

The thread count is how many threads per (iirc) square inch there is on the sheet. Ergo, if there are MORE threads packed into a tinier surface area, physics dictates it's going to be stiffer. But because it's more expensive (due to the higher thread count), people tend to overlook the fact that they're scratchy/not plushy because, hey, would YOU admit you can't stand the sheets you just paid three digits for?? They last longer, but that's about the only advantage, to the higher thread count.

Jersey knit is cheapest, has the lowest thread count, and yeah, wears out the fastest, but is way more comfortable than $1K-handspun-by-Egyptian-orphans-2000-thread-count sheets you have to make an appointment just to buy......

It's true, jersey sheets are very nice (though the ones i had shrank oddly), but everything i read online said higher thread count sheets were softer. I've never actually did a side-by-side comparison, so i have no clue, and besides - brand-new in the package sheets all feel kinda stiff, since they've got sizing and stuff on them. You really can't tell until they've been washed.

I got the impression they were silkier? Like rather than your fingers going bump bump bump over fewer thick threads there's more thinner ones so it's smoother.

Hrmmmm, maybe?

Heh. I don't imagine i'll ever know!

I like stiffer sheets. I enjoy the feeling of weight without excess warmth.
