Before laundering, we measured the sheets and recorded the dimensions.

Then, we laundered the sheets again to determine how well the stain came out.

Your Questions, Answered

How much are sateen sheets?

Sateen sheets can cost anywhere from around $50 up to $300.

What’s the difference between sateen sheets and percale sheets?

Person adjusting the fitted sheet from the Lands' End 400 Thread Count Premium Supima Cotton No Iron Sateen Bed Sheet Set on a bed

The main difference betweensateen sheets and percale sheetsis the way the fibers are weaved.

Percale is a so-called plain weave, Spets says.

Percale sheetswill offer more breathability, but the tight weave of sateen sheets will provide more warmth and coziness.

Additionally, sateen sheets dont wrinkle as easily as percale sheets.

Percale sheets are often lighter, crisper to the touch, and tend to need ironing, Robbins says.

Compared to percale, sateen sheets are heavier, naturally wrinkle-resistant, and lay well.
