Actually Quote by Nate Berkus
“Thread count is actually a lie. Just because a thread count is 1,500 on a set of sheets doesn't mean that they're well-made sheets. Truly, the quality of the cotton and the quality of the way something is woven is much more important than thread count.”
About This Quote
Thread count alone is an unreliable indicator of sheet quality; material quality and weave construction matter more.
In simple terms: Thread count is misleading; cotton quality and weave matter.
