However, when buying sheets do not be fooled by thread count. Thread count is the number of threads in one inch vertically and horizontally. Ply is the number of strands in one thread. A 1200 TC single ply will probably be thinner than a 800 TC double ply sheet. These are single ply sheets.
You might want to think of TC and ply (roughly) this way. Using 1/4 inch thread the TC would be 4 in length and 4 in width or a sheet with a TC of 8. The sheet would be 1/4 inch thick.
Using a 1/8 inch thread you would have 8 threads each and the sheet would have a TC or 16. The sheet would be 1/8 inch thick. It would also be 1/2 as thick as the sheet with a lower thread count. So the lower TC sheet would be much thicker than the sheet with a higher thread count.
Single ply sheets with high thread counts result in thin sheets with excellent drape that are cool in hot summer months.
Double ply sheets result in thicker sheets with excellent wear and durability and are warm in winter months.
These my friend are nice single ply sheets, they are not thick, should be cool to sleep on and have good drape.
If your looking for thicker sheets you might be well served to look at a 800 TC double ply sheet. They are available here on Amazon. If you read my other reviews, you will find them.
These are nice sheets. They are not thick sheets.I am very pleased with the sheets that I received. They are comfortable and just what I wanted. Couldn't believe the price for the value! They really are deep pocket and fit our thick mattress. No more having to reconstruct the bed every morning!
Buy 1200-Thread-Count Egyptian Cotton 1200TC Sheet Set, California King, Ivory Solid 1200 TC Now
I would recommend ordering from Egyptian Linens due to their 100% guarantee!I ordered two sheet sets, one was fantastic....the other unsatisfactory.
Do not hesitate to order from Egyptian Linens, you will be pleased.
Great prices and customer service!My first set of these sheets were just what I was looking for, heavy, well made 100% Cotton sheets, perfect for warmer and humid climates, as we have in Georgia.
They become softer as they are used and washed, shrinking is not an issue or bunching up at the seams, in addition they will fit the new thicker mattress'.
I should stress that these are not microfiber sheets, I honestly can't see how anyone can like microfiber, I ordered a set of J S Sanders sheets advertised as 100% cotton but upon receiving them I discovered that they must be some type of synthetic material as they were non-absorbent, also you can see right through them, I just checked the listing again and I'm surprised to see them are getting a decent rating. I sent the sheets back and the seller (The Comfort Zone) promptly sent my refund, actually the seller was very good about the entire issue.
I am about to order another set of sheets from this company, The Egyptian Cotton Factory Outlet , my first set was ordered in July 2011 and I was surprised to see that they are still available, will update this review upon receiving this next set.fit my 14" deep mattress size. Thin sheets but I like them. Not the thickness but I still like them.
