If you’ve ever shopped for sheets, you’ve probably heard this one:
“Higher thread count = higher quality.”
It’s the go-to line for marketing bedding that looks luxurious on the label—but doesn’t always feel that way on your bed. In fact, when it comes to truly luxurious, long-lasting sheets, thread count is only one small part of the story.
Here’s what you really need to know.
The Truth About Thread Count
Thread count refers to the number of horizontal and vertical threads woven into one square inch of fabric. And yes, up to a certain point, higher thread count can mean softer, more durable sheets. But that sweet spot usually tops out around 300–500.
So why do you see sheets labeled 800, 1,000, even 1,200+?
Because manufacturers often use multi-ply yarns—twisting two or more thinner threads together to artificially inflate the thread count. The result? Fabric that may sound premium but often feels heavy, traps heat, and wears out faster.
At DreamFit, we don’t play that numbers game. We focus on what actually matters.
What Really Makes a Sheet Luxurious?
Premium Fibers
The feel, breathability, and longevity of your sheets starts at the source. We use only long-staple and extra-long staple fibers, like 100% Egyptian Cotton, for natural softness and strength that lasts through 200+ washes.
Craftsmanship
We twist our yarns up to 4x more than the industry standard, which creates a smoother, stronger weave—resistant to pilling, tearing, and thinning over time.
Patented Fit Technology
Luxury isn’t just about how it feels—it’s about how it fits. Our patented FirstFit® corner bands and Guaranteed to Fit & Stay On™ promise ensure your sheets stay perfectly in place, even on adjustable beds.
Breathability & Durability
Real luxury performs. Our sheets are designed to keep you cool, wick moisture, and maintain their softness and structure wash after wash—so you sleep better, longer, and deeper.
So, Does Thread Count Matter at All?
Sure—but only when it’s part of a bigger picture. At DreamFit, we design sheets that feel indulgent, fit perfectly, and last beautifully. Because sleep isn’t about the number on the package. It’s about how you feel when you wake up.
