Thread count is the number of horizontal and vertical threads woven in one square inch of fabric. As a general rule of thumb, the higher the thread count, the softer the fabric feels. High quality sheets have at least 180 threads per square inch.Higher thread counts tend to cost more.

The higher the thread count, the longer lasting and more luxerious the sheet. Thread count is how many threads you will find in an inch of fabric - the more thread, the thicker the sheet. 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. Pima cotton may be one of the softest and most durable.

Is microfiber in bed linen the same as 600 thread cotton?

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.
