Q: Why does Target description say "cooling" sateen? Sateen is known for keeping you warmer than other cotton weaves. California Design Den's own website does not describe their sateen this way. This can make for a confusing purchase or possibly a return.
A: Thank you for asking. Our sheets are 100% Pure cotton and are naturally cool - unlike microfibers or other artificial sheets which trap heat. Most customers who have used our sheets have also remarked about it being cool. Thanks.
submitted byTeam California Design Den - 2 years agoBrand expertA: Contrary to what you answered in 2020, your 2024 packaging lists "Cooling" on the side. Here is a link from the Good Housekeeping Institute that tries to demystify "Percale" vs "Sateen" cotton sheets.
submitted byBall of Fire - 11 months agoA: Thank you. However, sateen is a weave that is known for having the opposite property, it is not cooling. A cotton weave that is known for being cooling is percale. Not all weaves are the same and not all cotton is known to keep you cool. Sateen is more suited to winter months. California Design Den's 400 thread count sateen sheet set is called Everyday Soft Sateen. Nowhere on its own website does it describe this set as cooling. Cotton is naturally more cooling than synthetic fibers for sure. But not all cotton weaves are the same at keeping you warm or cool.
submitted bywinter - 5 years agoA: That's not true. Sateen can be very cooling in combination with other factors. I'm going to order these. I'll let you know

Q: Will the sheets be warm or cool to sleep in? I want bedsheets that are cool to sleep in and are soft. what's wth difference between 100% cotton vs 100% cotton sateen?
A: https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/home/a37465998/percale-vs-sateen-sheets/ Tried to add to another response as the manufacturer claimed there was no claim of "cooling" when its packaging says so.
submitted byBall of Fire - 11 months agoA: Cotton by its very nature is cooling ( naturally breathable). The sateen word here explain the "weave" of the sheet fabric. Sateen creates a smoother and a slightly lustrous texture, thus improving the coolness, softness as well as comfort - the"luxurious feel"!
submitted byTeam California Design Den - 2 years agoBrand expertA: Sateen is not cooling. In fact people that sleep hot will use sateen in the winter months only because that weave traps heat more. Percale is a more cooling by far.
