400 Thread Count Bed Linen
400 thread count Bed Linen is a luxury, but nevertheless one that you will feel the benefit from. But first before going any further lets clarify what thread count actually means. The thread count is just that a count of how many threads make up one square inch of the fabric in question, the threads are counted both from top to bottom and side to side. So if you counted 50 threads from left to right and a further 50 went from top to bottom then the fabric would have a thread count of 100, this is a low count. Standard quality bed linen tends to have a thread count of 180-200, as the thread count increases then so does the quality, feel and softness, but only to a point. Once you get beyond say a thread count of 550 then the quality can actually reduce. The reason for this is that beyond this point the thread count becomes purely a marketing factor. So that one manufacturer can say mine has more than yours. But in reality to achieve thread counts at this level the threads are either very fine (possibly nice and soft but quite thin and not very hard wearing) or multiple threads have been wound together before weaving (which could result in a harsher fabric, but with an artificially high thread count).
So what about our 400 thread count bed linen, well its right at the top of the quality level range with a great combination of comfort and softness combined with a hard wearing long life. They are manufactured using the highest quality long staple 100% Egyptian Cotton. Egyptian cotton is deemed to be the finest cotton available with the softest feel, the yarn is then combed to make it even finer and more lustrous and durable. It is available in a wide range of sizes and in White or Ivory
