thread count on down comforters?

There's usually two different numbers with a down comforter, a thread count and fill amount. If you want a fluffier one, get one with a large fill amount...but getting a high thread count is a great idea too - I've experienced a problem with two down comforters in the past, after washing they start to thin out and little tears can form and feathers and fibers begin to come out....if you get a higher thread count, it should be more tightly woven and less likely to let as many feathers out. I got mine at Target for about $100, they also should have good sales right now at Target, Walmart, Linens N' Things and Bed Bath and Beyond for down comforters since winter is over and spring is beginning.

Thread count is the material it's made of, the higher the thread count the better the material and the longer it will last. Also the more expensive it is. Some materials you can see through with the low thread counts.

thread per square inch

the higher the number the thicker it is. Some will say the higher the rougher it can be, which can be true. You might have to wash it more for it to be soft.

If you get it too thin you can see through it

it means, basically, the higher the better. So keep looking for the ones that have the high number tho.
