144TC

144 thread count bedding offers the perfect balance of comfort, durability and value. At The Towel Shop, our 144 TC cotton and polycotton sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases and valance sheets are breathable, easy to care for and ideal for homes, hotels, care settings and student accommodation. It’s the practical, cost-effective choice for everyday and bulk use.

What Does 144 Thread Count Mean?

Thread count measures how many horizontal and vertical threads are woven into one square inch of fabric.
A 144 thread count fabric has 144 threads per square inch, giving a light-to-medium weave that is:

• Durable enough for frequent washing

• Soft and comfortable for everyday use

• Breathable and quick-drying

Unlike very high thread counts (400TC+), 144 TC bedding is easier to maintain and far more affordable, which is why it’s widely used in homes and institutions across the UK.

Cotton vs Polycotton – Which 144 TC Fabric Should You Choose?

We offer both 100% cotton and polycotton in our 144 thread count range.

100% Cotton 144 TC

• Naturally breathable and soft

• Helps regulate body temperature

• Great for year-round comfort in homes and guest rooms

Polycotton 144 TC

• Blend of polyester and cotton

• More wrinkle-resistant and quicker to dry

• Ideal for hotels, care homes, hostels and student accommodation

If you prioritise natural comfort, go for cotton.
If you need maximum durability and easy care, polycotton is the smarter choice.

144 TC vs 180 TC vs 200 TC – How Does It Compare?

Understanding how 144 thread count sits among other popular options will help you buy confidently:

• 144 TC – Light, breathable, durable and budget-friendly. Ideal for everyday and institutional use.

• 180 TC – Slightly denser and smoother, still practical and robust.

• 200 TC – Crisper, more refined “hotel-style” feel.

• 400 TC and above – Premium, dense and silky, but more expensive and often slower to dry.

If you’re kitting out multiple rooms or buying in bulk, 144 TC is often the most cost-effective sweet spot.

Care Instructions for 144 Thread Count Bedding

To keep your bedding fresh, soft and long-lasting:

• Wash at 40°C with a mild detergent

• Avoid harsh bleach, which can weaken fibres

• Tumble dry on low heat or line dry when possible

• Iron on a medium setting if you prefer a smoother finish

With proper care, 144 TC bedding stands up well to frequent laundering in both home and commercial settings.
