so i know about cooking stuff and what i want and need to register for, but we just want plain light blue sheets... how the heck do you decide on which ones, which threadcounts, etc??? help!
i usually go by thread count....the higher the better.

so how much thread count is the minimum you would go?!

thread count in sheets can range from 80 to 700, although most stores sell sheets that range from 180 to 320. in general, the higher the thread count, the softer the fabric feels, but that doesn't necessarily mean the sheets will last longer (and sheets with a higher thread count are usually more expensive).
according to consumer reports, cotton and cotton-blend sheets with a thread count of 180 to 200 stand up to wear and tear and provide satisfactory comfort.
the 2 sets we registered for are 350 thread count. we looked at a bunch that where 'all organic' & to be honest they didn't feel very comfortable.
