How sheets feel depends far more on fabric and weave than on thread count.
Quick guide
- Cotton percale: crisp and cool, good for hot sleepers
- Cotton sateen: smooth, slightly warmer
- Linen: breathable, textured, softens with washing
- Flannel: warm for winter
- Jersey: soft and stretchy like a T-shirt
