Feel
When I initially unboxed the Saatva Organic Sateen Sheets, they felt a bit stiff— but overall soft. It’s always good measure to wash sheets before use to get a true judgment of their feel. So I popped these into the washing machine, and noticed a major improvement to their softness after that.
The sateen weave is what makes them feel buttery soft and luxurious. This type of weave is made by using one-yarn-over, three-yarn-under weave structure. The result? A thicker, silky-soft feel.
Once I put them on my bed, they felt cool to the touch and stayed temperature-neutral throughout the night— meaning I was never too hot or too cold.
Materials and Construction: What’s It Made of?
The Saatva Organic Sateen Sheets are made with 100% organic, long-staple cotton. They’re high-quality and are GOTS certified, which means they pass rigorous textile testing standards for ethical, organic sourcing.
In a set, you’ll get one flat sheet, one fitted sheet, and two pillowcases.
The sheets have a 300 thread count, which refers to the number of threads woven into a square inch of fabric. A thread count that low indicates these sheets will be lightweight and breathable. Higher thread counts have the tendency to trap body heat more easily.
Lastly, these sheets also come with deep pockets that’ll fit a thick mattress up to 16”.
Mattress Nerd Sheets Scores
At Mattress Nerd, we test products over a range of criteria like quality, comfort, coolness, and company policies—all on a scale of one to five, with five being the best!
Temperature Control: 4.5/5
Overall, these sheets are soft, cool and comfortable. They’re made with 300 thread count 100% organic cotton, which is great for not trapping body heat. The higher the thread count, the warmer the fabric becomes. Anything between 200 and 400 thread count will work for hot sleepers, making the Saatva Sateen Sheets temperature-neutral.
When I was testing them, I noticed they were soft to the touch and kept me cool.

Customizability: 4/5
When it comes to options, the Saatva Sateen Sheets come in three color and nine size options. The color options are white, ivory, and grey, while the sizes range from twin all the way up to king upper-flex. I wish Saatva offered more colors, but the three colors featured are classic and will go with a majority of room styles and color palettes.
Comfort: 5/5
The sateen weave is the key to comfort with these sheets. Like I explained in the materials and construction section, this type of weave, versus percale weave, makes the fabric silky and sheen. They feel like luxurious, fancy hotel sheets. Perfect score for the perfect feel!
Quality of Fabric: 5/5
I’m very impressed with the quality of these sheets. Saatva is known for their luxury products, and their sheets are no exception. They’re made with 100% organic, long-staple cotton. They have a 300 thread count, which is perfect for keeping things cool and soft at the same time.
The sateen weave of the long organic cotton fibers are silky-soft, yet durable, and will get more broken in with each wash.
I also appreciate the deep pockets, which will fit thick mattresses or bed’s with toppers on up to 16” high.
Lastly, these sheets are GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified and made with Fair Trade Cotton.
Care: 5/5
To wash your Saatva Sateen Sheets, machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach. You can then tumble dry them on low. Saatva says they intentionally made their bedding larger than needed to accommodate for natural shrinkage after the initial wash.
Customer Experience: 4/5
Saatva offers free shipping within the contiguous United States, as well as a 45-night sleep trial, and a 1-year limited warranty.
A limited warranty means only manufacturing defeats will be covered, not typical wear and tear.
