Another beautiful cotton fabric is sateen. It has a very delicate sheen that gives it its signature 5-star silky look and feel. Sateen bedding tends to be heavier and thicker than percale because of its weave so it’s the ideal bedding option for those looking for an extra warm layer at night. Because of its silky finish, sateen will give your bedroom a major luxury update.

Flannelette Sheets

Tencel Sheets

The greatest grade (and most costly) is 100 percent Egyptian cotton, distinguished by its extra-long staple fibers, resulting in sumptuously soft yet incredibly long-lasting sheets.

Supima®, the trademarked name for American Pima cotton, is a close second to Egyptian cotton. Made with long-staple as well, this cotton is durable, high quality, and still luxuriously soft without as high of a price tag as Egyptian cotton. 

For a luxurious, slinky feel to your bed sheets, cotton sateen is the ideal option. Look for a thread count of at least 300 to get a good-quality set.

Most sheet sets typically include a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and one or two pillowcases. There’s not much need for wondering if you need a flat or fitted sheet for this reason — both are useful and usually come as a package deal. Some other sheet sets, like those Casper offers, also include a duvet cover. 

To give a super-cozy finish, flannel is brushed on both sides, while brushed cotton is only brushed on the face side. For this reason, flannel is often fuzzier and warmer than brushed cotton.
