SFERRA Giotto sheets epitomize indulgent luxury with their sumptuous sateen weave, rich luster and remarkably silky hand. How the Sheets Will Feel: Sumptuously Silky: Woven in an opulent 590 thread count sateen, these sheets feel exquisitely smooth and silky. Lusciously Soft: The extra-long staple cotton fibers are soft to the touch. Cozy Warmth: Sateen tends to have a warmer, more cocooning feel compared to crisp percale. The Look of the Sheets on Your Bed: Elegant Sheen: Sateen's signature feature is a soft, glowing luster that lends upscale polish to the bedscape. Simple Sophistication: The solid color design with single hemstitch detailing strikes a balance between understated elegance and rich luxury. Fluid Drape: The sateen weave gives the fabric a beautiful, flowing drape that connotes luxury and romance. About the Fabric: Less Breathable: While opulent, the dense sateen weave makes these sheets slightly warmer and less breathable compared to percale. Pleasantly Weighty: At the indulgent 590 thread count, the fabric has a wonderfully weighty, sumptuous drape. Superior Longevity: The extra-long staple cotton fibers ensure impressive durability and long-lasting quality. Fewer Wrinkles: Sateen's properties help these sheets resist wrinkling better than percale options.
