Once you go high thread you can never go back. I found my luxury linens on line at.... I found they have the best prices on line for the high quality linens companies they carry. They have from 400 to 1020 thread count! Didn’t know they could go that high. Got to get me some of those!! Thank you for the info on the care of my linens, I am going to get some of that lavender detergent.

It's true that inexpensive linens will tend to ball up and wear thin much quicker than quality linens, however this is also due to the type of cotton fibers and manufacturing/finishing process that allow or prevent the fiber from balling up rather than just thread count. Some very exceptional quality sheets are in the 200, 300, & 400 thread counts, and I would not want these to be grouped into the low-thread count category. “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.”
