Have you ever tried a set of sheets made of 100% cotton jersey knit?

We tried them for the first time a couple of months ago, and were pleasantly surprised by the feel and performance of them.

As the weather turns cooler it is a shock to get into a cold bed.  The coolness of regular sheets is welcomed in the summer, but not when autumn starts to visit again.

And it was still too warm to put the flannel sheets on yet, so we tried the jersey ones.

I have to admit, they are a bit stretchy, but they are just the right weight for this time of the year - not too cool, and not too hot.

They feel comfortable against the skin, not rough, but not smooth like regular sheets either.

Comfortable, breathable, cotton jersey sheets - treat yourself to their unique feeling.

We have all heard about the thread count on bed sheets, but do we really know what it means?

The thread count refers to the number of threads running vertically and horizontally in a square inch of the sheet fabric.

This number can run anywhere between 80-700, with most sheets being between the 180-320 range.

Of course, the higher the thread count, the more expensive the sheet.

But before you decide to spend the high dollar on the high count, you also need to know the ply of the thread.

There are 1 ply and 2 ply threads that figure into the count.

One ply threads are as they state, one thread only, where the two ply are two threads twisted together to make one thread.

So when you are about to purchase a 600 thread count sheet, are you getting 600 single ply threads per square inch, or 300 2-ply threads per square inch.

If you are looking for the softest, lightest sheet, then the single ply threads will offer a finer, more delicate fabric.

The 2 ply threads offer a stronger, more durable, yet heavier sheet.

One other factor to consider when purchasing a sheet, is how the cotton that it is made of has been processed.

If the cotton has been carded and combed, then it will have a silky feeling as in the finest percale sheets.

If the cotton has a napped finish, then you will get the benefit of warmth, as in flannel sheets.

There are also processes for jersey and sateen sheets that affect the cotton and it’s feel and performance.

The best thing to do when purchasing a sheet is to actually feel the fabric. Will the rest of yourself be happy with the feel and weave of the sheet.

If they feel good, and look good with your decor, then that is all that matters in the end.

I know it is still summer, but since we only have a couple of these sheet sets left, I wanted to get them listed.

They are sets of Tommy Hilfiger bed sheets - and they are made of soft cotton flannel in pretty solid colors.

You can find these sheets at this link to my store.

Please let me know if you have any questions - Thanks!
