Thread count refers to the number of threads (both horizontal and vertical) in one square inch of material. Generally speaking, the greater the number, the smoother, more durable the sheet. At one point thread count played a large part in what type of sheets sleepers bought, but it’s becoming more important to focus on the overall quality instead.
For a luxurious, slinky feel to your bed sheets, cotton sateen is the ideal option. Look for a thread count of at least 300 to get a good-quality set.
Your t-shirts are made out of it, cotton candy is named after it, and it’s the most common material used to make bed sheets. It’s breathable, forgiving when removing stains (adios blood stains), and stays cool. Cotton sheets also soften up with time and washes while maintaining their durability.
It should be noted: Not all coverlets are Matelassé. Matelassé is a specific type of fabric and its finishing, not the actual article of bedding. Matelassé is derived from a French word referring to the way a fabric is finished. It is a textile that has texture woven into it so it looks quilted. Matelassé can be made into both coverlets and pillow shams.
Standard Mattress: 7 to 12 inches high
Deep Mattress: 13 to 17 inches high

You may therefore want to choose a neutral colour palette for your bedding that will match any bedroom style. Colours which clash or are overly busy can irritate and cause vision fatigue.
