Organic Cotton Sateen Fitted Sheet
Frequently Asked Questions
What fabric is the MATTEO Organic Cotton Sateen Fitted Sheet made from?
The fitted sheet is 100% Egyptian cotton in a sateen weave at 300 thread count, woven with pure 60s yarn in both warp and weft. MATTEO's Organic Washed Sateen goes through a special garment-wash process at our dye-house that produces a smooth, silky hand feel without ironing. The fabric gets softer with each wash, not stiffer.
What mattress depth does the MATTEO sateen fitted sheet fit?
The 16-inch pockets fit mattresses up to 20 inches deep comfortably. Each pocket is finished with a flat felled seam tacked at the top corner to reinforce the areas that take the most wear. The elastic band spans the full perimeter of the sheet and is encased in a high-density stitch so it holds its grip through years of washing.
What sizes does the Organic Cotton Sateen Fitted Sheet come in?
The fitted sheet is available in Twin (39 x 75 x 16 in.), Twin XL (39 x 80 x 16 in.), Full (54 x 75 x 16 in.), Queen (60 x 80 x 16 in.), King (78 x 80 x 16 in.), and Cal King (72 x 84 x 16 in.). The Cal King is cut specifically for California King mattresses, which are narrower and longer than a standard King.
Is the sateen weave at 300 thread count soft enough without ironing?
Yes. MATTEO developed this fabric specifically to eliminate the need for ironing, which is why it went through a proprietary garment-wash process from the start. The sateen face has a natural smooth finish that relaxes further with use. If you want a crisper look, press while slightly damp on the Lightweight Cotton or Medium setting, but most customers find it unnecessary.
How should I wash and care for a garment-washed cotton fitted sheet?
Wash in lukewarm water with a gentle detergent and a cool rinse, keeping light and dark colors separated. Do not overload the machine, as excess agitation can stress the long-staple cotton fibers. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly to reduce wrinkling; line drying gives the best results. Avoid chlorine bleach, alpha hydroxy acids, and benzoyl peroxide on garment-dyed colors, as the reactive dyes are not resistant to whitening agents. Learn more about MATTEO's garment-dyeing process.
Is a 300 thread count cotton sateen sheet considered high quality for luxury bedding?
Thread count measures weave density, not fabric quality on its own. What matters equally is the yarn grade, fiber length, and finishing process. MATTEO's Organic Washed Sateen uses Egyptian cotton with 60s yarn, which produces a finer, smoother thread at 300 TC than many sheets marketed at twice the count with inferior fiber. Higher thread counts often result in a dense, less breathable fabric; 300 TC in a quality sateen weave stays soft and breathable while holding up through long-term use.
Is the MATTEO Organic Cotton Sateen Fitted Sheet good for people with sensitive skin?
The sheet is made with 100% Egyptian cotton and colored using reactive dyes through a garment-wash process at MATTEO's dye-house, with no synthetic fiber content. The garment-washing removes residual finishing chemicals that new fabric typically carries, so the sheet is gentler against skin from the first use. Avoid whitening agents like chlorine bleach on dyed versions to preserve both color and fabric integrity.
