Cotton Sateen Fitted Sheet

Cotton sateen is a 100% natural and breathable textile. The sateen weave of the cotton, with a structure of one thread underneath and three above, gives it a luxurious and soft touch. The sateen weave gives the sheets a soft sheen when new. After washing, this soft sheen will slightly diminish and the textile will become even softer, making it extremely comfortable to sleep under. The breathability of the cotton makes it a perfect choice for warm sleepers, while it can also keep you nice and warm on cold nights.

Our cotton sateen fitted sheets can be easily washed in a washing machine on a gentle cycle at 40°C. We recommend using a mild detergent and washing colors separately. When tumble drying your sheets, use a moderate temperature. To reduce wrinkles it is best to take out your sheets straight away after the drying cycle.

Cotton sateen is made from natural cotton and will always have a small amount of shrinkage. To make sure that your sheets will perfectly fit after washing we made our sheets a few centimeters bigger.

The thread count is a measure to indicate the number of threads that are woven into one square inch of textile. It is calculated by adding the number of threads lengthwise (warp) and widthwise (weft). A high thread count indicates that the sheets are made with finer, thinner yarns. The higher the thread count the smoother and denser (and heavier) the fabric will be.

However, sometimes the thread count can be a tricky number. For thread counts above 500 for cotton sateen it can mean that the manufacturer used a “ply”. This is a technique of twisting multiple single threads into one yarn. A two-ply, for example, would mean two threads twisted into one yarn. A sheet with a 250 thread count made with two-ply yarns can thus be advertised as a 500 Thread Count. This is something that is often used as a marketing technique, for which you should be careful. In general, single-ply yarn is more soft and flexible.

Our fitted sheets are made to perfectly cover any mattress up to 32cm. We included a vertical elastic in all corners that stretches and shrinks based on the height of your mattress (up to 32cm) to ensure the perfect fit. It stays on the edge and keeps the sheets straight.

Is your mattress a few centimeters higher? Every corner is provided with a diagonal corner elastic to make sure that your fitted sheet will stay in place, even for extra high mattresses!

The all-around elastic goes around the whole circumference of the fitted sheet and, once placed on a mattress, helps it stay in place. It “grips” the mattress from underneath and stops it from moving when you toss and turn.

Our fitted sheets feature a strong diagonal elastic band on each corner that stay under your mattress. This ensures that your fitted sheets stay in place all night long, without ever getting loose.
