Understanding Sateen Weave

Sateen is a type of weave used to make fabrics. It is a weave constructed by interlacing the weft and warp yarns in a four-over-one- under pattern. This leads to a fabric that is airy, soft and has sheen to it on both the sides making it cozy and apt for all seasons and climates. Sateen sheets are inherently more wrinkle-resistant.

 Sateen is different from Satin, which is soft and shiny on one side and dull on the other.

We offer various thread counts for our Sateen Sheets to cater to the needs of every sleep preference as the comfort level will depend on the weight and Thread count of the sheets.

Understanding Percale Weave


Percale is a type of weave that is typically used to make sheets, pillowcases, duvet sets, and more. It is a weave constructed by tightly interlacing weft and warp yarns in a one-over-one-under pattern. This pattern creates sheets that feel crisp and cool, lightweight, and are airy and breathable making them an excellent choice for those who want to sleep cool at night.

The tight weave means percale sheets are also super-durable and get softer with each wash. Percale sheets made with 100% organic cotton results in higher quality and softness.

Percale sheets are number one choice for luxury hotels.

Depending on your personal preferences on whether you prioritize the feel of your bedsheets or breathability, you may see one sheet/ weave type as better than the other.
