Is it worth it to shell out hundreds of dollars for sheets with thread counts of 600, 800 or 1,000? Not necessarily. In fact, a very high thread count could mean the manufacturer has used several thin threads twisted together rather than thicker, more durable single-ply threads that produce a lower thread count but can be of better quality.
It is worth it, though, to spend extra for sheets made with high-quality cotton, which can last up to five years. Cheaper sheets with low-grade cotton sometimes last only a few months because they unravel faster with each wash, according to Bedding Outlet.
