What 1000 Thread Count Sheets Actually Feel Like
At 1000 thread count, the sateen weave has a thick, heavy hand. These bed sheets 1000 thread count are thick and weighty, smooth on the surface and deliberate in drape. The surface carries a luminous subtle sheen that catches light evenly across a made bed, and the weight settles over you rather than floating. 1000 TC opens up over washes, so it keeps getting softer rather than being at its softest on night one. Indulgent Luxury is for the sleeper who wants the bed deliberately weighted, deliberately smooth and deliberately indulgent.
1000 Thread Count Cotton Sheets — What They're Made Of
Our 1000 thread count cotton sheets are woven from 100% natural extra-long staple cotton in a sateen weave. No polyester, no microfiber, no petroleum-based synthetic fibers. Cotton softens with washing, and 1000 TC opens up over washes.

1000 TC Indulgent Luxury next to 800 TC Lavish Luxury
Both are substantial sateen sheets. 800 TC Lavish Luxury is substantial, smooth and dense with a gentle sheen. 1000 TC Indulgent Luxury is thick and weighty, with a luminous sheen. The right choice depends on how much weight you want on the bed.
Choosing a weight
If you prefer a sheet with less weight, our 400 TC Everyday Ease has a balanced everyday weight and our 500 TC Weekend Soft is lightweight and not thick. Each is a separate collection with its own feel.
1000 Thread Count Sheets King and Queen — Sizes and Construction
1000 TC Indulgent Luxury is available in Queen, King, Cal King and Split King only — not Twin, Twin XL or Full. Our 1000 thread count sheets king bring the thick, weighty hand to the king fitted size of 78" W x 80" L. Our 1000 thread count sheets queen are cut for the queen fitted size of 60" W x 80" L. Every size ships with deep-pocket fitted sheets — 16" on Queen, King and Cal King; 15" on Split King — with elastic all around.
Is This Egyptian Cotton or Percale? Separate Collections
Searches for Egyptian cotton or percale land here, and those are different products. Our Indulgent Luxury 1000 TC is cotton sateen. Our Egyptian Cotton collection is a separate product line — extra-long staple Egyptian cotton in sateen and percale weaves, sold by weave rather than thread count. Our percale collection is also separate: a crisp, matte, lightweight weave with a different hand feel to sateen.
