Highest Thread Count Sheets


As I tour the country I'm constantly reminded that a large portion of the population is under the impression that higher thread count sheets will deliver a deeper richer sleep in the same way that naming your daughter "Tiffany" demonstrates that you have an elevated sense of taste.

Truth be told, anything over 500 thread count does nothing more your sleep than chrome rims do for cornering in a Range Rover. Honestly, you can approach me at the Pro-Dozer Awards in a Versace dress and tell me you sleep on a 1000 thread sheet set on Fridays and a silk 600 thread count sheet in your second country home and I'm not going to invite you to the after party. I can log richer sleep on my grandmother's ratty aphgan than you can on a 1000 mg of Royhpnol on a 1000 thread count sheet with diamond beaded fringe! Hey, sorry for the exclamation point, but I'm not only a pro - I'm a dozer purist.

I have to train so I don't have time for futher details but check out http://www.yvesdelorme.com/english/threadcount/threadcount.html for more details. "As a practical issue, just how many threads can fit into one square inch of fabric...?" And remember. Rich sleep has nothing to do with your bank account. If you're rich in heart you've got a good shot at being rich in deep sleep.
