Both weave types offer advantages. Sateen looks and feels more luxurious but can hold more heat, although the Chateau Home Collection Egyptian Cotton Sheets we tested proved to have great sheen and excellent breathability. Percale has a stiffer feel but the looser weave is better for hot sleepers, so that’s something to keep you in mind as you decide on a set of new Egyptian cotton sheets.

Wash your 100% Egyptian cotton sheets in cold water on a gentle cycle. This will help to reduce the cases from shrinkage. Remove your 800tc cotton sheets immediately from the washing machine to prevent creasing. You may spend more for Egyptian cotton sheets than other types of sheets, but the good news is that with proper care, these sheets can last for years. “If the sewing quality at the edges is good, and they are not washed or dried at a temperature over 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) then these sheets should last a good 10 years or more,” says Clarke. Percale sheets have a 1:1 weave, with the horizontal fibers overlapping a single vertical fiber. A sateen sheet has a 3:1 weave, where the horizontal fibers overlap three fibers. In practical terms, this means that an Egyptian cotton sateen sheet has a tighter weave with a smoother feel and an attractive sheen, while a percale sheet has a more breathable weave with a crisp texture and matte finish—like a button down shirt, according to Clarke. Each Egyptian cotton sheet is finely made and crisp to the touch. Additionally, they have been made with extra-long staple cotton fibres, so the yarns are very fine and strong.

Our stunning 800 Thread Count Luxury Cotton Sateen Fitted Sheets are super soft and extremely comfortable.Although the sateen finish is impressive, it’s only part of the equation for choosing splurge-worthy sheets. The quality of the fibers is important, too. The Cavendish line of sheets doesn’t fall short in this regard; they’re made in Portugal of long-staple Egyptian cotton. For extra confidence in the quality of the cotton, The White Company is a recognized retailer of The Egyptian Cotton Association. When shopping for Egyptian cotton sheets, consider your need for breathability in the sheet material. Some sheets allow for plenty of airflow, making them ‘breathable’ while others tend to trap body heat. Hot sleepers will benefit the most from choosing very breathable Egyptian cotton sheets. That’s one attribute we raved about when testing the Parachute Percale Sheet Set, which has a lightweight construction and percale weave that feels comfortable in all seasons. Style and Design Percale sheets are cool and crisp, according to Clarke. But instead of being stiff, good quality Egyptian cotton sheets with a percale weave will have a soft, lightweight texture. That’s what we found when we tested the Snowe Percale Sheet Set and it’s the reason that we recommend it as the best option for this category. Made from 100% cotton giving a warm snug sleep in the winter and a cool comfortable night in the summer. Snowe’s 500 thread count percale sheets are crafted in Italy from long-staple Egyptian cotton fibers and finished by hand. The 1:1 weave of percale means that there’s more opportunity for air to pass through the sheet. That being said, we did find more body heat to be trapped by these sheets than expected. Hot sleepers might find them to be a bit too stuffy, but it can be a positive attribute if you plan to use these sheets year-round in cold weather climates.
