We get it — thread count sounds fancy.
But is it real? Or just another marketing buzzword like “luxury blend” or “hotel feel”? 😅
At Katin Life, we don’t play that game. So let’s break it down:
Is thread count a scam? The short answer: sometimes.
🧐 What is Thread Count, Really?
Thread count is the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric — both lengthwise (warp) and widthwise (weft).
So 300 TC means 150 vertical + 150 horizontal threads. Makes sense, right?
But here’s the trick:
Some brands use multi-ply yarns (2-ply, 3-ply) and count each strand to artificially inflate numbers.
So a 300 TC sheet with 3-ply yarn magically becomes “900 TC” on the label… but feels like tissue paper.
💣 The Dirty Secret of the Bedding Industry
That “1200 TC” sheet set you saw for RM89 on Shopee?
It’s probably made of short-staple cotton (or even polyester), twisted together to look dense — but feels scratchy and traps heat.
Thread count becomes a scam when it’s not paired with quality cotton and weaving techniques that matter.
✅ What Makes Katin Life Different
We don’t just throw numbers at you. Our 900 thread count fabric is:
✅ Made with 100% long-staple Egyptian cotton (no poly blends, no tricks)
✅ Single-ply yarn — soft, breathable, and naturally silky
✅ Woven using a sateen weave for that glossy, hotel-grade feel
✅ Tested and trusted by over a thousand happy customers in Malaysia
It’s the kind of sheet you slide into and go: “Oh damn, I get it now.”
🛏️ So… Does Thread Count Matter?
Yes — but only when it’s done right.
A legit 900 TC Egyptian cotton sheet like ours? Smooth, cool, dense, and luxe.
A fake “1200 TC” blend? Stiff, synthetic, and a nightmare to sleep on.
In short:
Don’t fall for the number. Fall for the feel.
