Grams and thread count are two different things. Flannel sheets are usually identified by grams per square meter or ounces per square yard (American terms) of weight. Thread counts usually identify cotton or cotton blend percale or muslin type sheets. 190-gram sheets are approximately equal to 6.7 ounce (American terms) sheets. The higher the weight-grams or ounces for flannel sheets the more durable and generally softer the flannel. Higher thread counts mean the same for percale/muslin type sheets. Hope this helps!

The size of the needle. The higher the number the thinner the needle. A 30 or 32 is very comfortable for me.

I'm not really sure if they are truly 1500 thread count, but they are extremely soft! So wahtever threadcount they are, I like it!

I routinely measure 0.04 grams, works for me but I have no way to compare. The calibration seems right on.

I returned the item upon receiving it because it was very thin and I thought it wasn't worth the price. I have sheets that are thicker and better quality. I don't remember the thread count, but because I was planning on using sheets underneath my son's duvet, I wasn't too concerned with that. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

20 gauge is thicker diameter metal than 22 gauge and therefore better. I would venture to say that 20 gauge is pretty much average (standard) in the sink business. If you go with 18 gauge, you will be getting a better product at probably higher cost.

Very simply, after man mistakes there's only ONE way to shop for sheets nowadays, and it's NOT by following threadcount. I don't know if threadcount means something else nowadays, because you can by 1600 threadcount and it's like tissue paper. The ONE way to buy sheets is to go by the amazon reviews. And that's not a plug for amazon, it's just the only way that I've found my choices to be successful.

I never got the right thread size! Did you maybe give me two of the same sizes? The diameter is fine, I don't understand why nothing fites right. Metric? By the way, it is a full size mattress.

The higher thread count just makes it softer, not hotter. I think that you will be fine.

It is a thinner thread making you embroidery a less dense. If you are working on clothing I would you this thread.

Im not sure what the thread count is. However, I am sure that they are a metric thread. The cost is such a cheep price, If it were me, just give it a try. God bless and good luck.

Dream aire outlast 350 thread count has worked for me. Order something with extra deep pockets , hope you find something you like.

Don't know the difference, and nothing said on the packaging. Sorry I can't be of help. I must say though that the pockets are about an inch too deep for my mattress which makes the sheets not fit tightly enough for my taste. And yes, I've tried those whatchamacallits that you snap onto the corners to tighten them. They always come off and my dog eats them. No go. Good luck.

Hello, that is the correct thread count. They are microfiber and they are quite soft.

Focus on thread count. This is the key factor with bed sheets in determining not only the thickness but the overall quality. The higher the thread count, the better. Personally, I prefer egyptian cotton over the standard cotton that we are used to in fabrics. It helps keep your body cooler when you sleep and is noticeably softer to the touch. With this particular item, it turned out to be 100% polyester and they are clearly not 1500 thread count. I wouldn't buy these sheets again if for no other reason than they were falsely advertised. Nonetheless, the sheets have already started showing noticeable signs poor quality. Focus on thread count.

i have other 1500 thread count sheets, and these sheets seem to have the same texture and feel. I cannot say that they are the same count for sure. they are definitely much better than a 200 count sheet is .

Good question! I bought this and overall I enjoy it. The thread is not great quality. It does tend to snag on some fabrics. I am not sure the makeup of the thread, but for the price - you would not expect top quality cotton. It is a fine started pack and once you are done with those spools, you can replace with cotton of your choice. It is a handy storage system.
