Too many consumers make the mistake of disregarding thread count, thinking that down comforter sets are down comforter sets. Let’s find out what thread count is.

Thread counts refers to the actual number of threads found per inch in the fabric. Therefore, a fabric that has a higher thread count will be smoother and silkier to the touch. Not only a higher thread count will make your fabric softer, but it will also act as a natural barrier for the down. The more threads there is, the tighter the space between the threads are and the less down leakage you will have. The tighter weave of high thread count fabrics also acts as natural “down proofing”, keeping down from leaking out. The most luxurious down comforters sets use fabrics that have thread counts as high as 356!
