Are high thread count fine linens worth the expenditure? I’d have to say yes. It’s the simple philosophy of pay now or pay later. The better the quality of linens and bedding you purchase the less it will cost you over time.
Over time low-thread count (inexpensive linens) will ball up and the material will wear thin which will make for a very unpleasant sleep experience. When I was younger I used to think owning luxury linens was all about snobbery and that all linens were created equal. In my mind Kmart linens were just as good as Anne De Solene or Sferra linens. As I began to travel more and stayed at hotels such as the Waldorf, The Breakers in Palm Beach and the Sofitel in Paris I quickly learned that there is a huge difference between fine linens and “regular” sheets; it is true you get what you pay for.
I now only purchase the best linens I can afford – does this mean spending thousands a la Jessica Simpson linen shopping style? No. It means spending a few hundred dollars and shopping at seasonal luxury linens sales. So what if my lovely four poster bed is sporting last seasons linen couture? It’s my little secret ( and you know how to keep a secret right? 
).
Since I now own only luxury linens I take extra good care of my investments. Here’s my secret to luxury linen care.
