The quality of bed sheets is often conveyed by the thread count—the number of threads per square inch of material. In general, the higher the thread count, the softer the sheet, but the weave and type of thread may affect the hand of the material so that a sheet with a lower thread count may actually be softer than one with a higher count. Yarn quality also plays a part in the look and feel of sheets, as finer yarns tend to create a finer sheet fabric. The ply also plays a role in how heavy the sheet feels. Ply represents how many fibers are twisted together as the sheet is being created. A 2 ply 300 thread count sheet will feel heavier than a single ply 600 thread count sheet.
Bath towels are the most common type and are designed for drying off after showering or bathing. Bath towels are generally larger in size and provide ample coverage and absorbency. Look for bath towels made from high-quality cotton as they are soft, durable, and highly absorbent. Egyptian and Turkish cotton are popular choices for their luxurious feel and superior absorbency.
