Does higher thread count = better quality?
The short answer is not necessarily! A thread count over 500, for example, can be too heavy and unbreathable. It’s a myth that higher thread count means better quality.
Higher may equal thicker, but the composition (single-ply or multi-ply) and quality of the actual thread matters more than the number of threads.
