Why Editors Love Our Bedding
Enjoying the buttery feel of sateen sheets does not have to require paying a steep price.
— Forbes
Hands down the best bet on a budget - soft, durable and under $100.
Even though the sheets are lightweight, we found that they have a heft that makes them feel more expensive.
I have tried many sheets before I found these. They are soft, durable, and no pilling. Well worth the price. I still have the ones I bought three years ago. They just get softer with every washing. Love these sheets.

Cotton Sateen Bedding Made for Smooth, Everyday Comfort
What the Sateen Weave Does to 100 Cotton Sateen Sheets
In a sateen weave, the threads float over the surface in a four-over-one-under pattern. That construction creates a smooth fabric face that reflects light evenly and feels silkier against skin than a percale or plain weave. Our 100 cotton sateen sheets apply that construction to 100% natural cotton — no synthetic blends, no microfiber, no petroleum-based synthetic fibers. The result is a smooth feel that softens further with every wash. The sheen is worth a word. Sateen has a subtle, natural luster — a soft glow that makes a made bed look finished.
Choosing Your Cotton Sateen Sheet Set by Thread Count
Thread count describes weight and feel — find the right one for how you sleep. Every weight in our sateen range is 100% natural cotton and has earned the Good Housekeeping Seal.

Egyptian Cotton and Organic — Separate Collections
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. It is not part of the five weights above. Our organic cotton sateen sheets are a Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) Certified Organic Cotton Sateen Sheet Set, with the same smooth sateen weave.
Sateen Bed Sheets vs. Percale — Two Different Feels
Sateen and percale are the two classic cotton weaves, and neither is better — they feel different. Sateen cotton sheets are smooth, drapey and subtly luminous. Percale is crisp, matte and structured. If your ideal sheet feels fresh and just-made rather than silky, percale is worth exploring. For a full side-by-side look, read our guide on sateen vs percale sheets before deciding.
