Satin bed sheets &
Luxury linens
Sateen bed sheets are mainly made from 100% cotton and
have a luxurious, smooth and soft feel to them.
Satin bed sheets are similar to Sateen Sheets in softness, but
instead of the being made from 100% Cotton, satin is made from
satin polyesters.
Cotton bed sheets, can be made from different types of
cotton; Egyptian, Pima or Supima. Combed cotton is a standard
grade of Cotton that has all the short fibers removed resulting
in a stronger and softer cotton. Cotton can also be mixed with
polyester making them stronger and easier to care for..
The newer pillow top mattresses require you to have deep
pocket sheets, and some need extra deep pocketsheets with 18"
pockets so keep that in mind when you order new bed sheets.
Cotton bed sheets & linen fabric quality
Bed sheets come in different fabrics and grades. One way to
determine the grade or quality of the sheet is to find how many
threads per square inch there are. The higher the thread count
the smoother and stronger the sheet. Of course using a little
common sense, you realize that flannel sheets have courser
threads so they are different and will not achieve the higher
thread counts of cotton sheets
Bed sheet thread counts start about 175 and go to over 1000,
and as the tread count goes, so goes the price. My sheets
are 275 and I sleep good, but maybe I'll pamper myself next
time and go for a 500 thread count.
