A high quality thread count for bed linens is above 250 threads per square inch. These resist pilling and have the softest feel, but are more costly than lower count sheets. If on a budget, look for a thread count no lower than 175. More info can be found at: http://interiordec.about.com/od/buyingbedsheets/bb/bedsheets.htm

How high a thread count should I get for my bedskirt or does it not even matter?

It all depends on your personal taste and budget. The higher the thread count the higher quality the bedskirt will be, just like sheets. But the higher the thread count the higher the costs. In my personal opinion I'd rather splurge on a sheets with a high thread count rather than a bedskirt with a high thread count. You will feel the softness and high quality in sheets rather than a bedskirt more often.

Is 600TC cotton sheets better than 400TC Egyptian cotton sheets?

We searched on "thread count of sheets" and "linens buying guide" and had to rip past dozens of sites trying to sell sheets before we found your answer. Finally, we came to rest upon this definition: thread count is the number of horizontal and vertical threads in one square inch of fabric. Thread count in sheets can range from 80 to 700, although most stores sell sheets that range from 180 to 320. In general, the higher the thread count, the softer the fabric feels, but that doesn't necessarily mean the sheets will last longer (and sheets with a higher thread count are usually more expensive). One linens department manager says thread counts above 380 are "kind of a farce." Manufacturers twist two threads in a way that lets them double the sheet's thread count. Recently, many linens manufacturers have touted thread count as the best way to choose a sheet. But others point out that the quality of the fibers and finish are more important to the sheet's comfort and durability. In fact, sheets made of linen, flannel, or jersey (those trendy "T-shirt" sheets) have low thread counts due to the type of fabric. A high thread count would eliminate part of the appeal of these sheets. According to Consumer Reports, cotton and cotton-blend sheets with a thread count of 180 to 200 stand up to wear and tear and provide satisfactory comfort.

There are bed sheets with a thread count of 800 to 1,200, and they are pretty expensive and luxurious. These sheets are usually made of fine cottons, especially Egyptian. The Nile Valley has a particularly good cotton, and the right environment to consistently produce it. For the money, a 600 thread count is a pretty good value.
