what threadcount would you consider minimum?

[jennlin]

i want to buy new sheets. i can't decide if 400 is "good enough", which i know it is, but if i'm splurging..what's an extra 20ish bucks for 500, and then another 20ish for 600....etc.

what do you sleep on?

[georgeharrison]

I am no help because I actually prefer the feel of the cheaper ones. I think mine are all around like 300.

[kwpnjumper55]

I like 500+

[madDawg228]

I think 500 feels best.

400 is the minimum I will get unless they are flannel sheets.

[picksthemusic]

Flannel.

That being said, if you're in the mood to splurge, go for 800.

500 is my minimum

Are you buying online? 'Cause I like to go in the store and feel them. I used to always be nice ones, but the ones I have now are cheap and they are just fine. I think 300+ is fine.

I agree with this. Some of the higher thread count sheets don't feel comfortable. I like going into the store and feeling the sheets.

From my phone yo!

500, but my new are 600. and i love them.

[jennlin]

yeah, i plan on buying online..but i dunno what/where to buy. i just want plain white.

Mine are all 600 or 800. I really like my new ones from Macy's.

I hated my 600ct from Costco.

My Mom told me a while ago the lower the thread count the stronger the sheets are. I bought some 600 and they didn't even last a month, and DH had worn through them with his heels in his sleep.. grrr. Anyway now I bought some 300 or 400 (i can't remember) and those are holding up way better. I got them in Costco this time around.

I have no idea, but I went through several sets of cheap ones because they got scratchy and pill-y, so now I'm hooked on the charter club/hotel collection ones at Macy's (someone gave us one set for our wedding and then I broke down recently and bought a second set because the cheap ones sucked).

ETA: it didn't matter what the thread count was and I would even try to pick out 'nice' ones with the right fabric etc at Ross and no matter what, they all sucked after a couple months
