Cotton thread count - Thread count is the measurement used in cotton materials. It refers to the number of threads woven together per square inch of material. The more threads woven together means a higher thread count. The right thread count can make a difference to the smoothness, quality and feel of your sheets.

  In summary, when choosing great quality sheets that won’t pill, consider the material, thread count, layers, and construction of the sheet.  Whether you choose bamboo, cotton, Tencel or linen, investing in great quality sheets can significantly extend the life and comfort of your bedding.

But when was the duvet invented? No one really knows.
