You will feel the softness and high quality in sheets rather than a bedskirt more often.

The easy answer is 750.

The thicker the sheet, the more sturdy and longer lasting. And, the feel is amazing - super soft and luxerious. You know those exclusive hotels that charge $5000 a night? They use 1500 thread count sheets on their beds. Old Answer: There isn't much difference in quality with a thread count over 300. You would next look to the material that the sheet is made out of.

No. Microfiber thread count cannot be compared to the thread count in cotton. A 1500 thread count bed sheet of Microfiber might not be half as heavy in weight or thick enough as a 600 thread count cotton sheet, but it will be far softer than a cotton 600 count. It is similar to comparing apples and oranges. Microfiber has a thread count of it's own and tends to remain thinner, although it gets softer, with higher thread counts. Cotton on the other hand, tends to get thicker and heavier as the thread count goes higher, so a 1500 count sheet in cotton might weigh like a blanket.
