Counting Thread Count

Whenever I encounter bed linens, I see the word thread count, and I am totally clueless when it comes to thread count. So what is THREAD COUNT?

Based on my reading on different sites, thread count is the number of thread, horizontal and vertical per inch of a certain fabric. There are many factors that is included like the kind of thread used or the thickness of the thread used. When it comes to bed linens, the higher the thread count, the better. Why? because when there is more thread on a square inch of a thread, that means that the thread is finer which will result to a smoother fabric.

So when you buy a bed linen that has a thread count of 200 or more, expect a higher amount will reflect on barcode scanner, because as mentioned above, the higher the thread count, the softer, the better. So how many threads your linens have?

His And Her Closet

For years that me and hubby has been together, our closet is always about his clothes, less mine and more him. I am not a clothes or shoes or bags girl. When it comes to myself, I don’t indulge on anything. I am always happy seeing them happy. Always contented on buying things for them. But lately, I have been giving myself a “me” time. Buying clothes for me, buying shoes and buying girly stuffs for me. It’s about time eh? Actually not. I am doing this for my youngest baby, my baby girl. My soon to be apprentice. I wanna be the most fasyon mom she can ever have and so I have been scouting shoes that are nice and with style, like the apple bottom sandals. So yes, our closet will be his and her closet from now on. Or maybe, I should buy another closet for me?

Bed Sizes

My post about my dream bed, makes me think of bed, bedroom and sleep.. LOL.. It makes me wonder what is the biggest bed size available in the market. Here, the biggest one that is as readily available as aquatic weed control is the Queen size bed. That is 60 inches by 80 (or sometimes 78) inches.King size bed (76 x 80 inches) is not readily available here or you have to go through a lot of stores before you can find one. That’s my dream bed size. With a family of four kids, we need the biggest bed possible. California King size bed (72 x 84 inches) is not available here, I think. Although we can always have the bed size we want, the problem would be finding the the mattress and bed cover that would fit.
