Benefits of Sateen Sheets and Bedding

The material, made from cotton or other natural fibers, is used for everything from the shells of down comforters and pillows to buttery soft sheets you can’t wait to slip between. Learn what sateen is, its many benefits, and how to care for this favorite fabric in our helpful guide. 

Sateen is a type of woven fabric made with a one-yarn-under, three- or four-yarns-over pattern that creates its distinctive characteristics: a smooth, silky hand and slight sheen. This unique weave makes for a sturdier, warmer fabric than percale, with a luxurious weight.
