SATEEN Sateen sheets share many similarities to satin sheets, however they are easier to maintain and have a longer lifespan. This fabric is made from cotton and natural fibers, but is woven in a unique way that gives the sheets a beautiful shine and durability.
JERSEY KNIT While Jersey knit sheets are still made from either natural or synthetic cotton, where they differ is the way they are produced. Instead of being woven like traditional cotton sheets, they are knitted. This gives the sheets a natural stretch and extra warmth. Keep in mind that jersey knit sheets do not have a thread count. Instead, the quality of the sheet can be measured by its weight per square yard.

According to National Geographic, the first known mattress dates back to around 77,000 years ago. It was discovered in South Africa in 2011 and was made of reeds and rushes. Researchers believe that a ‘top sheet’ made of insect-repelling greenery was used to help ward off the unwanted night-time visitors.
Our recommendation is to use both a flat and a fitted sheet, with a coverlet and/or duvet to be used on top of the flat sheet. For the more travelled customer, who loves all things European, will sleep without a flat sheet, with the duvet directly hovering over them. The caveat here is that it is easier to wash a flat sheet than it is to remove, wash and put a duvet cover back on.
All cotton fabrics share one essential quality: they are moisture-wicking, meaning that, at night, they will absorb any perspiration leaving your body dry and refreshed. Also, they are very easy to care for and don’t require any special dry cleaning treatments. Simply wash your bedding in cool water using mild detergent and tumble dry low. And avoid any bleaching agents.
