Pros & Cons of Sateen Sheets

Explore the pros and cons of using sateen sheets on your bed.

Sateen has the rich look and feel of satin, but is made of cotton. It can add a stylish look to a bedroom's decor. There are advantages and disadvantages to using sateen sheets.

Soft

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.

Long-Lasting

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

Irritable

It is better to use sateen sheets in cooler temperatures. The material highly resembles silk and can cause a person to sweat, causing irritation.

Slippery

Wearing satin or silk pajamas against the sateen sheets makes the bed slippery, especially when trying to turn over or adjust your position in the bed. It is better to wear cotton apparel or other material next to the sateen.
