Obviously, the higher the thread count, the better quality, softness, etc. but as was stated the most expensive.
I won't go below 250 and prefer at least 400 thread count.
The next time you're shopping, take a look (& feel) of Egyptian cotton. It has a much higher thread count, will surely last much longer, yes it is more expensive but will be so much more comfortable for you.
Hope this helps.

I prefer a higher thread count because its softer and less chafing than lower thread counts. Lowest thread count to buy.... id say is 200. Unfortunately a higher thread count is more expensive.

200 is the lowest and can be ok. 300-400 is pretty comfortable. Anything above that, I can't tell a difference. Also beware that the higher the thread count, the easier they will tear or wear out quicker.

starting at 350 thread count and up is best.I would not recommend a 200 thread count,they are thin and you won,t like them,I usaiiy buy 350-400 they are softer and lot better sheets.The higher the count the better the sheet

my lowest is 280 but the higher it goes the better, for my wedding I got a 3000 and its great. high thread count doesn't have to be expensive there are some places where you can get 6 or 7 hundred for a fair price, just shop around. try overstock.com they have OK prices.

I like JCPenney's, it's a David something line; Kohl's, also Homegoods or Ann&Hope Bath outlet (I'm in CT) are good places too. I have used different sheets from different stores and the quality and counts seem to be the same. No problems with any sheets from any of the stores...

THE MORE THREAD COUNT MEANS PRICE. WHAT WILL YOUR BUDGET ALLOW AND HOW LONG DO U WANT THEM TO LAST

I just bought 300 count sheets and they are wonderful! 300 is fine for me!

I refuse to buy anything less than 400 count, and that's slumming it for me.
