- 200–300 TC: great for breathable, everyday sheets
- 300–400 TC: smooth & durable, perfect for mid-range hotels
- 400–600 TC: silky, premium feel, found in luxury hotels
- 600+ TC: denser, heavier, ultra-luxury experience
Tip:
1. Higher TC generally means smoother and denser fabric, but over 800 TC may not be noticeablybetter due to fiber twist and weaving limits.
2. Cotton quality can affect softness more than TC.
3. Blends (poly-cotton) can achieve high TC without being as heavy or expensive as 100% cotton.
