Hong Kong Bed Sheet Sizing

Before talking about bed sheet recommendations, of course, it’s important to know what the best bed sheet size for you and your mattress!

The higher the thread count of the sheets, the better?  

When buying bed linen in Hong Kong, if you ask the advisors what kind sheets they recommended, the advisor will usually recommend the sheets with a high thread count like 400 thread count , because the higher the number of threads in the sheets, the finer the needle sand will be, which also means that the sheets will be more comfortable. In general, a one-inch needle yarn with about 200 thread counts is quite good.

However, when you want to buy a high thread count bed sheet, it is important to pay attention to whether the sheet is measured in “inches”. Some brands calculate in other units; hence the number of thread count may be greatly increased to more than 500, which does not accurately reflect the quality of the sheets.

If the sheet is considered purely by the number of yarns, the higher the value, the more this set of sheets would be recommended to your bedroom.
