I always thought "how nice it would be to be able to afford 700 thread count sheets" well one day there was a great sale. I got my 700 thread count sheets. Ohhhhhh how soft and comfy.......... for about one year!!!! They ripped so easy because the threads have to be so thin to get the 700 threads in an inch. Doesn't help that my husband sleeps like an alligator in a death roll. My very expensive sheets are now very expensive pillow cases. Give anything you want to use a good stress test first.
