Actually, we have all gotten too obsessed with thread count. If your thread count is too high the fabric won't breathe and will be very uncomfortable winter and summer. That being said, Egyptian cotton is generally recognized as being superior to any other, due to the length of the cotton fibers. So, yes, 1000 thread count Egyptian cotton is superior to 600 thread county pima or sateen--as is 600 thread count Egyptian cotton.

∙ 11y agoThe best answer to which is better: 300 thread count Egyptian Cotton vs 600 thread count cotton--is really a personal preference. There is really no right or wrong answer to this question.
Thread Counts are the number of threads, horizontally and vertically, in a square inch of fabric. Usually, the more threads per inch, the better "quality" the fabric would be. However, I believe that thread count is a personal preference.
Egyptian cotton vs cotton. Ostensibly, Egyptian Cotton is a better quality of cotton--manufactured using Extra Long Staple fibers (ELS fibers), which would make it a better cotton fiber than "regular" (referred to as Upland cotton), cotton (which isn't necessarily one with ELS fibers).
There are other cotton fiber designations which also use ELS cotton fiber--Pima Cotton is one.

∙ 12y agoThe question is impossible to answer without knowing much more information. Here are the things that can be answered:
1) Unfortunately, being labeled Egyptian is no guarantee of quality or origin.
2) Supima labeled products have to be sourced from a licensed chain of Supima licensees ensuring that the product is made with 100% Extra-Long Staple (ELS) cotton. Supima is all 100% U.S. grown in the west and southwestern U.S. states of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
Even if all things are equal, and both products are made with the same single ply yarn, and both are the same type of fabric (ex. percale or sateen, etc.), and they have been created and finished the same way, it would be hard to say which would be better. If the yarn were a better quality and finer yarn the 600 could be better. If the yarn were a coarser count then the 400 could be better.
