Smooth sateen weave cotton sheets

Perfect for sleepers who enjoy a luxurious, silky-soft feel, these sheets drape beautifully and add an elegant touch to any bedroom.

A sateen cotton sheet set suits sleepers who like a smooth, silky feel and a bed with a soft sheen. The weave drapes nicely and feels a little heavier and warmer than percale, which adds an elegant touch to a bedroom.

Why smooth sateen weave cotton sheets make a good gift

  • The lustrous surface makes a bed look polished, which suits anyone who enjoys a styled bedroom.
  • Sateen feels smooth and a little warmer, a good fit for sleepers who tend to feel cold.
  • Cotton sateen gives a silky feel and is still easy to wash at home.

What to look for

  • Choose a neutral colour or one that suits their bedroom decor so it goes with other bedding.
  • Confirm mattress size and fitted sheet pocket depth, especially for pillow-top mattresses.
  • Look for 100 percent long-staple cotton; very high thread counts can mean thinner, twisted yarns.

Questions people ask

Do sateen sheets sleep hot?
Sateen is a little warmer than percale because of its denser weave. Cotton sateen still breathes better than synthetic fabrics.
Will the sheen on sateen fade?
The lustre softens gradually with washing. Cool water and low dryer heat help keep the smooth finish.
