Thread count is a key indicator of fabric quality. It measures the number of horizontal (weft) and vertical (warp) thread yarns per square inch on the fabric. The more threads woven together, the higher the thread count. Essentially, it’s a measure of how tightly woven a piece of the fabric, and traditionally, bedding with a higher thread count is considered to be of better quality. 

Typically, the more threads per square inch, the finer the cotton yarn used for each weaving would be and the higher density the fabric, leading to a softer and smoother texture. However, thread count isn’t the only quality indicator. Other factors such as the quality of the yarn and workmanship are also important when selecting a bedding product. That is why purchasing products from a reputable store is very important.
