If I knew what “alpha cotton” is, I could offer a more knowledgeable comment. However, 800tc at this price is quite good. After getting married and becoming educated in linens, I’ll never go back to cotton/poly blends or thread counts under 500. There is a difference and the extra cost of higher thread counts and 100% cotton is worth it.
To those inquiring, we should have answers later this morning regarding the “Alpha” cotton blend and also the type of weave of today’s offer.
Thank your patience and we appreciate your interest/questions.
I bit on one of these 1000TC all cotton sheet sets once (for like $40), and that is all I needed to do. If the deal looks too good to be true it probably is. In the same way that specs on electronics can be deceiving , this whole thread count thing is the same way. At least if you buy them in the store, you can feel the weight and the texture. I don’t even see a brand associated with this deal. So if you are confident that those 800 threads are more than 1 micron thick- then go ahead and jump on this- otherwise I would wait.
STRIPES! When are sheet manufacturers going to learn that sheets need some kind of pattern so I don’t have to spend 5 minutes figuring out which way they actually fit on the bed???
