What are Sateen Sheets?
There are two main weave styles used for sheets: percale and sateen. Percale weave sheets tend to feel much crisper than sateen sheets. And if you think about it, sateen sounds like satin, which is what sateen sheets tend to feel like.![Best Sateen Sheets - Differences between percale and sateen weaves percale vs sateen weave comparison](https://www.mattressclarity.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/MC_PercalevsSateen_Header-1024x642.jpg)
What to Look for in Sateen Sheets
Here are a few key categories to consider when shopping for the best sateen sheets.Feel
As I’ve mentioned, sateen sheets will feel soft, smooth, and similar to satin. Most sateen sheets can be made from cotton, so sometimes they’ll have that crispness associated with cotton. But they won’t have that crisp, pressed shirt feel to them.![The Best Sateen Sheets - feeling The Best Sateen Sheets - feeling](https://www.mattressclarity.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/helix_tencel_feeling.jpg)
Thread Count
If our list is any indicator, thread count varies significantly. However, with sateen weaves, thread count has its place. The higher the thread count, the softer a set of sheets will feel. The softest sateen sheets we have on this list, the Cloverlane sheet set, have the highest thread count, with 600. While there’s no “one size fits all” answer to the question of “what’s the best thread count for sheets,” a general range for the best sateen sheets is 300 to 600.Care
The best sateen sheets have very simple and easy care instructions. All of the sheets on this list are machine washable! This ease of care makes them very accessible to most sheet shoppers.![the best sateen sheets - a picture of a woman putting sheets into the washing machine the best sateen sheets - a picture of a woman putting sheets into the washing machine](https://www.mattressclarity.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/top-sheet-or-no-washing.jpg)
Durability
With good care, the best sateen sheets can last you a good while. Most of the sheets I put on this list all have a one year warranty or more. So they should last you at least that long, if not more. However, sateen sheets tend to pill more than percale sheets. This can limit a set’s lifespan depending on how quickly the pilling happens. RELATED: Best Sheets for the MoneyBreathability
More often than not, sateen sheets trap heat more than percale sheets. Even with a looser weave, the fact that these sheets use thicker threads mean they aren’t as breathable.![the best sateen sheets - a man sleeping in gray sheets the best sateen sheets - a man sleeping in gray sheets](https://www.mattressclarity.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Puffy-Sheets-Side-Sleeping.jpg)
Materials
All but one set of sheets on this list were made with cotton. You’ll often see best sateen sheets made with some type of cotton, but bamboo is also a popular material for this weave style. In fact, these are the only two materials you’ll see in sateen sheets. The weave style makes them feel soft and smooth, but cotton and bamboo will feel much different from one another. Take a look at our bamboo vs cotton article to read all the differences.Sateen Sheets Pros & Cons
Here’s a quick reference to the pros and cons of sateen sheets.Pros | Cons |
They are much softer and smoother than crisp sheets | They can often retain more heat than percale sheets |

FAQs
I’ve gathered some of the most frequently asked questions about sateen sheets to make sure you’ve got all the information you need to find the best sateen sheets!Do sateen sheets keep you cool?
The answer is sometimes! This weave style isn’t as breathable as percale sheets. But if you look for cotton sateen sheets with lower thread counts, or bamboo sateen sheets, both should keep you relatively comfortable throughout the night.
How long do sateen sheets last?
All of the sheets on this list have a minimum warranty of one year. More durable materials like long-staple cotton should last you at least two years. Bamboo sheets are very durable and should last you at least five.
These sheets also have relatively simple and easy care instructions, so with good care, they should last you a while!
Do sateen sheets wrinkle?
Sateen sheets are a great option if you’re not a fan of visually unappealing wrinkles. These sheets are more resistant to wrinkling over percale sheets. However, they tend to pill more often than percale sheets.
Are sateen sheets good quality?
The short answer is yes!
All the sheets on our list are made with high-quality materials. I’ve tested all of them and can attest to that. Sateen sheets are a great option if you don’t love that crisp feel to sheets and are looking for something similar to softer, satin-like sheets.
