Thread Count: Do You Get the Real Deal?

It's an investigation that, perhaps, boils down to one question: How much are you willing to spend for a good night's sleep?

In the world of luxury sleeping, the mantra is this, higher thread count, means better quality, and of course, a higher price tag. But when you splurge for 600 or 800 or, even 1000 thread count sheets, do you really get it? That's what tonight's ABC 7 Real Deal Investigation set out to find out.

We hit two of the most popular linen giants on the Gulfshore, Linen N Things and Bed, Bath & Beyond. We spent nearly $1,000 on sheets- from $60 pillow cases with 1000 thread count, to a $5.00 flat sheet advertising 250 thread count.

Then we had our experts count every thread....every single thread. Who knew there was such a science behind bed sheets? Tonight you'll see what we mean when we reveal the results of Thread Count, Do You Get the Real Deal?

Tonight on ABC 7 Gulfshore News at 6pm.

As always, I welcome your thoughts.
