I haven't bought sheets in awhile and I was wondering what is a good thread count would be. Thanks.

I like the 700 count sold here on QVC.

Northern Nights 700TC Wrinkle Defense 100% Cotton Sheet Set

Used to be that ONLY the warp (lenghwise) threads were counted.   I believe nowadays they also count the woof (horizontal) threads to make it "seem" like more.   

Anyway........the higher the count, the smoother (and heavier) the fabric.

If you choose Egyptian cotton (which is the softest & strongest), you can save money by going with a lower thread count (even 300 or 400).

I like around a 400 TC. I don't like the thicker feeling sheets. I like light & airy. I also like 100% Egyptian Cotton or SuPima Cotton. I don't want cotton/poly blend or microfiber sheets. I hate sheets the pill.

Sheets are one thing I normally spend a good amount of money on because being comfortable and cozy in bed while I sleep is really important to me.

A couple of years ago we bought a beach house and had to buy sheets for all the beds there. I didn't want to spend the money I spent on my sheets, but I still wanted decent sheets. I ended up buying some at Target. They were Egyptian cotton sheets by a brand called Fieldcrest. I can't remember the thread count but they were around $70 I think for full size. I have to say, they are some of the best sheets I have ever gotten. I really didn't expect that. I have even had guests comment on how much they loved them and wanted to know where I got them. They are so nice and heavy and very soft. I was really impressed with them.

A good night's sleep is important to me, and I personally prefer 800+.  My DH could sleep on any thread count.  They have samples at the stores that you could feel for yourself to see what works for you.  In addition to the mall and bedding stores, Walmart and Target have swatches hanging up in the sheet aisles and pretty good sheet sets at reasonable prices.

For years, I bought 1200 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets online, and I love them.  They are a strong, soft, heavy sheet.  If you look in the right place, you can find them for around $60-$70.  However, a couple years ago, I switched to modal sheets, and I would never go back.  They make a lot of different types of modal sheets, but this specific brand, sold at BBB, is "Pure Beech" and the style is the Jersey Knit.  I just checked and they are actually on sale.  I'm going to pick up another set.  They usually have samples of the fabric hanging in the aisle next to them, so you can feel how wonderful they are.

Fieldcrest has long made quality bedding, @Irshgrl31201, and that includes their EC blankets.

Great choice!

I love Egyptian Cotton and will go with anything between about 440 and 800tc.   I have to say that my favorites are 800tc Egyptian cotton.  It seems just about right for me.
