Headed out to buy some new bedding? If so, don’t let thread count be your only indicator of quality. While price, color, and other factors are likely to play a role in the purchase of new sheets, you should also consider the bedding buying guide above.

Be wary of sheets that seem to have excessively high thread count numbers. This can be indicative of false advertising. If you find a 1200 thread count sheet set, for instance, and it’s being sold for $100, then it likely is not the bargain that you think it is. Like everything else in life if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Thread count is far from the only variable that should make its way into your decision-making process. Consider a multitude of variables to find the perfect set of sheets - each and every time.
