It doesn't say anything about thread count as far as I know... it only says that they're cotton/poly. The most they would be is 200 thread, I think, and more likely 180 (which is standard for cheaper sheets). I think I've been at 100% cotton for at least the last 10 years and wouldn't ever go back! And I just wouldn't buy anything less than like 270-thread sateen, unless all my sheets had been burned in a freak accident and I had to start from square one with no money. It's not like all my stuff is super-expensive... we've gotten a lot from, like, Sam's Club, Overstock.com, BB&B store brand on sale, that kind of thing... but it IS all cotton and cuddly.
