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.

A thread count of 200 to 400 will feel luxurious and high quality in percale cotton. This fabric is a hugely popular choice for bed sheets and is often found as the bed sheet of choice in many hotels.

Cotton is a staple fabric spun from the fibers of cotton plants. People around the world have been cultivating it for thousands of years. One of the earliest bits of cotton is at least 7,000 years old and was found in Mexico. In Egypt and Pakistan, people were weaving cotton thread into clothing in 3,000 BC. And in the 18th century, the British first found a way to spin cotton into textile with machinery.

Cotton and cotton blends dominate the market, the most common blend being cotton/polyester. Cotton provides absorbency and a soft hand, while polyester adds durability and wrinkle resistance.^[2] Other common fibers used in the manufacturing of bed sheets include linen, silk, Modal and bamboo rayon, lyocell, Microtex or Microfiber, and polypropylene. Polypropylene (olefin) is a hypoallergenic spun-bound material produced at a low cost and typically used in emergency shelters or hospitals as disposable sheeting.

When it comes to choosing the perfect bedsheets for your bed, there are a variety of options to consider, including bamboo, cotton, Tencel, and linen.  Each type of bedsheet has its own unique benefits, but a common concern many people have is choosing bedsheets that won’t pill.  Pilling occurs when small balls of fibers form on the surface of the fabric, resulting in a rough and uncomfortable texture.  To avoid this problem, it is important to consider the material and construction of the bedsheet.
