Caring for cotton sateen

Our sumptuous cotton sateen bed linen is made from tightly woven, high thread count, pure cotton fabric. Cotton sateen is made by weaving four threads over and one thread under, creating a fabric that is soft and smooth to the touch. Experience the feeling of a little luxury every night while sleeping in luxurious cotton sateen bedding.

Our cotton sateen caring tips will help keep your bedding looking and feeling beautiful for longer. And the longer your bed linen is kept, cherished, repurposed and saved from landfill, the more sustainable it becomes.
