Best Cotton Sateen Sheets

What Separates the Best Cotton Sateen Bed Sheets

The sateen weave

Sateen's signature smoothness comes from the weave: a four-over-one-under float that puts more thread on the surface. That gives the fabric a soft, drapey hand and a subtle sheen. Browse our complete cotton sateen bed sheets collection to explore every option.

100% natural cotton

Our best cotton sateen sheets use 100% natural cotton in every weight: long-staple cotton in 400 TC, 500 TC and 600 TC, and extra-long staple cotton in 800 TC and 1000 TC. No petroleum-based synthetic fibers, no polyester, no microfiber — just the tactile feel of natural cotton in a sateen weave.

Best Egyptian Cotton Sateen Sheets and Organic — Separate Collections

Is this Egyptian cotton?

No — this is our cotton sateen range. Our best Egyptian cotton sateen sheets are a separate collection, sold on extra-long staple Egyptian cotton and weave rather than a thread count number. They have a different feel and a different construction.

Organic cotton sateen

Our best organic cotton sateen sheets are a Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) Certified Organic Cotton Sateen Sheet Set, with the same smooth sateen weave in certified organic cotton. For our complete range of cotton sheets across every weave and construction, explore the full collection.
