Most pure polyester sheets are rough, while polyester blends tend to be much softer and provide a higher level of comfort. These sheets are easy to wash, wrinkle-resistant, and often quite affordable. If you’re looking for sheets you don’t need to steam or iron, polyester will be your best friend.
A popular choice for bed sheets is Jersey sheets, which are made from stretchy, soft fabric that's comfortable and easy to care for. Jersey sheets are a great choice for those looking for a soft, stretchy feel.
When choosing these types of sheets, however, be aware that the type of cotton matters, as some outperform others.
It doesn't have the luxury top-quality feel that other fabrics have. It is also not as breathable as a natural fibre like cotton and linen, so not a great choice if you suffer from night sweats or if you are a hot sleeper.
The experts at Bed Bath & Beyond say: 'Sateen is exceptionally soft and silky but is not as durable as other bed sheet types.'
