I don't agree with this, but I'm upvoting it because I like saying "fleece sheets".
High thread count sheets - are they worth it ?

Uh, I don't think the stores would approve of taking a "test drive" on their sheets in-store. Or maybe you're talking about Wal-Mart?
I must say I found this topic fascinating. If you're ever in doubt, post it, b/c someone else is probably wondering.
I do think high quality sheets are worth it, but like others have said thread count isn't the only factor.
I have 1 set I really like that is I believe 600 tc Egyptian cotton. I'd just recommend making sure whatever you get is 100% (or close) cotton. I've had 1600 TC sateen or whatever, & those were garbage.

ABC's 'The Lookout" show did a clip on this topic. See the link below. I highly recommend.

Yes, they are worth it. I usually get the highest thread count I can find. You get a low thread count sheet and they start to unravel and twist themselves into little knots as you move around in bed and before you know it; it's like sleeping on sand. And don't get fleece sheets unless it's winter time. High thread count for summer, fleece for winter.
OK thanks, now I don't feel so much like a cheapskate. Several beds have 400 count.
