Sateen refers to a three or two over one thread weave, which gives it a sumptuously smooth feel and a slight sheen. Cotton sateen fabric is heavier and slightly warmer then percale. Ideal during chilly nights. As a bonus, it is also easy to iron.
Thread count refers to the number of threads woven per inch. In general; the higher the thread count, the more denser and softer to the touch a fabric becomes, provided that high-quality cotton and single-ply thread is used. Since we follow these high standards, our 300 thread count fabrics are already a very good quality and our 500 or 600 TC will be noticeably softer and slightly heavier.
