Higher thread count = higher quality, much softer, more smooth, etc.

Thread count in any fabric tells how many threads are in a piece of fabric per square inch. The higher the thread count the higher quality the fabric; which of course means it will stand up longer to every day use and washings. A higher thread count also offers a stronger resistant to staining and tearing. Anything that boasts Egyptian cotton is going to be a higher thread count and of better quality; Egyptian cotton is re guarded as the best cotton on the market.
www.amazon.com sells Egyptian cotton sheets and comforters, any order more than $25 qualifies for free shipping, and they are currently on sale..I just ordered a set.
When shopping for sheets I recommend 240-360; you'll find that they're reasonably priced and good quality.

High thread counts are smoother. High thread counts on down comforters will keep the down inside better.

The higher the thread count, the smoother the fabric.

The feel and comfort of it. The higher the thread the better the quality and the better the feel of it

Literally more pieces of thread per square inch, which makes the fabric feel softer to the touch.
400 count egyptian cotton sheets are AMAZING.

The higher count won't pilt(the little fabric balls, that are uncomfortable to sleep on) Stay above 250!
