We always talk about the quality of your beddings and how it affects your sleep.  While Cotton is still the boss of all bosses in the bedding world, that doesn't mean there aren't other quality and beautiful materials. 

In this series, we have treated Cotton, Silk and Polyester. Today we will be talking about Sateen. 

Sateen is a fabric made using a satin weave structure but made with cotton yarns instead of silk. The sheen and softer feel of sateen is produced through the satin weave structure. The material is luxurious and smooth to the touch. Sateen is presumed to be royalty, romantic, luxurious. It can also add a stylish look to a bedroom's decor. There are advantages and disadvantages to using sateen sheets.

 

Pros: 

-The fibrous weave of sateen sheets exposes more yarn surface on the face of the cloth to give a softer feel. 

-Sateen offers the luxurious feel and soft texture of satin.

-Sateen is a durable, long-lasting material. It can be used many times since sateen is machine washable.


Cons:

- The material highly resembles silk and can cause a person to sweat.

- Wearing satin or silk pajamas against the sateen sheets makes the bed slippery. It is better to wear cotton apparel or other material next to the sateen.
