Would it be better or worse if it was the Boogieman?

I find odd enjoyment in the fact that this only works in text... Unless there are a lot of people who mispronounce "bougie" :)

Actually prefer something in a lower thread count. Higher thread count tends to feel warmer and I sleep hot. Also the texture on the skin
martineb72
Micro fibers seems to get the same feel of high thread count but at a lower thread and better ventilation.

Have you tried the bamboo? They're the coolest I've experienced
I have, you are right they sleep cooler

Acurate but it needs someone like McConnell or mr burns as a face

I also wish to know about this physical deformation causing hell.

Minute in the green room unless the sheets were 400+ thread count
meskarune
I have allodynia and legit cannot stand any lower quality fabric on my skin, it physically itches, burns or just feels awful.
If traveling was part of my job and I could get away with it, I'd have the same in a contract

My wife chuckled, so it's pretty funny!

So Daniel Levy is under his bed?
SubiBryant
My idiot friend doesn't get it, help me explain it to her please.

I wouldn't hang out with such a dumb friend. It could rub off.
Thanks guys. I'll tell my friend.

"Bougie" means spark plug in Dutch (while probably being a French word in origin). They have different threads. I didn't get it either... :)

Being bougie is creating an air of wealth or upper class status on someone/something, literally and as a joke/insult.

It's a truncation of Bourgeois (and/or Bourgeoisie). Yay french words!

Bougie is slang for borgouise, I think

I've known about bougie for years but this is the first time I've seen it written... Fascinating!
https://www.furniture.com/mattress/guide/glossary/thread-count
Typically the higher the thread count the more expensive and supposedly softer and silkier.
RadioSilenceDW
Ill be honest I thought 2077 came up with the whole bougie thing.
ddbrown30
That's like kids thinking dance moves originated in Fortnite.
How do you know that they didnt? That the fortnite devs laundered all their money in a time machine and gave the stars the dance ideas
Mas7er
You can't even tell above 600 thread. Wake up sheeple!
LordOfBorkness
The higher thread stuff will feel that way for more wash cycles
TheDrunkenWrench
As they wear in they get SO soft in the higher thread counts. The lowers just tear.
Frederf
A lot of the higher counts are inflated by being double or triple bundles.
Ryebread91
So it's like a bunch of cables made into a sheet?
JoshuaHarazin
Also, the ultra-high thread counts found in microfiber sheets are nearly meaningless. They're just adding short threads, barely "woven" in.
ImNotMoodyImJustDramatic
That’s true depending on the type of thread.
stukajr
It's supposed to be 400 count, Egyptian cotton - anything above is the thread too thin to get the higher count.
DALLASLAVOWNER
not by touch but higher count tends to last a bit longer, especially if you use a laundromat dryer
icefire555
My partner said that to me but with tip and filtered water. They where shocked when I called them out every time they snuck me tap water.
A lot of tap water is nasty tasting
BatmansUnderPantsAreSoSoft
You can but you need to make sure you're buying quality cotton. Long staple, supima, Egyptian cotton.
theshinobi23
I actually prefer 150. Has a nice solid smoothness, and holds the cold from before I get in bed a lot longer. Also stays warm longer when I
Have to get up to go pee in the middle of the night.
Quality of the cotton comes into play over the count of thread. 200 count is my game, otherwise it's satin sheets for the special night.

Maybe a peasant like you can’t but someone with a refined epidermis such as myself can
MisterLemons
Your mother has a refined epidermis
thinkybrainpains
percale long thread please
YouCanCallMeCal
You absolutely can and it is more about the breathability of the fiber than thread count. Fight me
ChaoticGoodTransGirl
I have no idea how even tell the thread count of anything, but as a neurodivergent person i imagine someone out there absolutely can. If i
had a nickle for every time i was told i shouldn't be able to feel or hear something, or that those lights can't possibly be too bright, or
any number of sensory things i shouldn't experience, allistic people would think I'm one of the good autistic people(we only matter when we
we're rich/profitable) instead of just weird.
SociallyAwkwardCanadianMoose
Yeah, texture is a huge deal for me. Wrong texture and I am not wearing or sleeping in it!
I thought a bougie was a kind of pet bird.

No, it's what air force pilots call hostile aircraft.

No you're thinking of boogie board. Bougie is a very light brown colour
