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.

You will feel the softness and high quality in sheets rather than a bedskirt more often.
For a fabric to be considered a luxury sheet, it has to have 800 thread counts. The greater the thread count, the smoother and more luxurious the sheets would be.
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.
There is not realy a diference between 500 and 100 thread sheets. Anything above 400 is due to counting two-ply threads as 2 threads.
Usually sheet sets with a higher thread count last longer but also cost more than sheet sets with a lower thread count.
The higher the thread count, the softer the sheets. Typically, sheets can range from 300 to 1600 thread count
Usually the higher the thread count the better, softer and more expensive the sheets are. Material makes a big difference though, so make sure to feel the sheets if you can before you buy them.

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.
I would try Macy's for nice sheets. They tend to have a lot of bedding sales where you can get the highest thread counts for really low prices. I'd suggest getting at least 500-600 thread count, she will love them!
