As in clothing/bedding? It is the amount of threads in a set area. The higher the thread count, the better/softer the fabric is.
Higher thread count means the weave is denser, thus the fabric is softer and more durable. A lower thread count is less durable and will wear more quickly.
Any high thread count will do, but consider gettng a 800 thread count if you can find it.
Thompson sheets offer the highest thread count at 800.
The higher the thread count, the softer the sheets. Typically, sheets can range from 300 to 1600 thread count

The easy answer is 750. Thread count indicates the number of threads counted in one square inch of the fabric. 250 thread count fabric will be woven looser and feel rough to the touch in comparison to 1000 thread count fabric. Another difference is price. The higher the thread count the higher the price. According to Consumer Reports, anything over 400 thread count is a waste of money.
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.
Although thread count isn't the only thing that matters when buying luxury bedding, after all fancy fabrics like silk will never be replaced, it can be an easy rule of thumb to rely on. Generally, the higher the thread count, the more pleasant the fabric will be. Thread count is simply the number of threads in a square inch of fabric. More threads mean the fabric will be less course, but only up to a point. A thread count of 300 is generally considered pretty good, but some manufacturers will attempt to use double layers in order to claim thread counts of 600 or more.

I think the thread count is just 200.
Technically, thread count means the number of threads woven together in a square inch. You count both lengthwise (warp) and widthwise (weft) threads. So 100 lengthwise threads woven with 100 widthwise threads produce a thread count of 200.Â_
