Casper Canada's bed sheets vary in thread count. Our Percale Bed Sheets have a 300 thread count, our Sateen Bed Sheets have a 450 thread count, and our SuperSoft TENCEL™ Bed Sheets have a 400 thread count.
Thread count refers to the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric, but it’s not a straightforward measure of quality, especially across different materials. Factors like yarn thickness, weave, fibre type, and finishing process all play a big role.
For example, both our cotton Sateen Bed Sheets and TENCEL™ cooling bed sheets feature a sateen weave, but their ideal thread counts are different. Cotton relies on a higher thread count to achieve its silky-smooth feel. Meanwhile, TENCEL™ Lyocell is naturally soft, breathable, and moisture-wicking, even at lower thread counts. In fact, packing too many threads into TENCEL™ bed sheets can actually reduce their airflow and performance.
In short: thread count isn’t always apples to apples. Fibre quality and finishing matter more.
