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.

Materials play a large role in the feel of your sheets, but how the material is woven can change how sturdy, soft, or thick it is. While you may pay close attention to thread count and material, you should also take into account the type of weave.
