Thread Count: A Touchy Subject
Many factors affect quality of fabric and bedding. Thread count is determined by the number of vertical and horizontal threads per square inch of a weave. Though sometimes a closer, more durable weave means more comfort from a higher thread count, quality of the weave isn't always determined by the thread count.

The range of materials that make up a fabric are important in determining personal comfort. Fabrics made with 250 4-ply threads would be a higher thread count with thicker threads than a 250-single ply material. Both are perfectly cozy depending on your preference in coolness or warmth and crispness of a sheet.

How comfortable a fabric feels to you should be your focus when choosing bedding. Gaiam offers a variety of thread counts and eco-friendly materials to choose from.
