8. Satin
Also called a mattress topper or underpad, this layer of padding is used above the mattress and beneath a bottom sheet to add comfort.
Sateen sheets, on the other hand, are crafted using a unique weaving technique that gives them a smooth, shiny finish. Sateen sheets are typically made from cotton and have a luxurious sheen, making them a great choice for those who like a silky feel against their skin.
Egyptian cotton comes from a different plant (Gossypium Barbadense) to regular cotton, which is why it has different and superior properties. Egyptian cotton has extra long fibres which produce thread or yarns that are thinner and smaller in diameter yet stronger than other cottons. This means that the threads can be woven into a luxurious durable fabric that no other cotton can match.
In the end, whether you lean towards the precision of a fitted sheet or the timeless charm of a flat one, the emphasis remains on quality. After all, a good night's sleep is often defined by the comfort and luxury of the sheets that envelop us.
