Choosing Bedding Bliss: Sateen vs. Satin, and Why AIZOME Chooses Sateen Weave

In our quest to provide the ultimate sleep experience, a question we often hear at AIZOME is, "Is it satin?" The answer, steeped in our commitment to holistic well-being and environmental responsibility, is a resounding no. This common inquiry stems from a mix-up between sateen and satin, two luxurious weaves that are worlds apart in texture and ethos. Let’s delve into the nuances of these materials and explore why we at AIZOME are proud proponents of the sateen weave.

Sateen Weave: Silky soft and super breathable

Sateen's unique four-over-one-under weave pattern is more than just a technical detail. It’s a gateway to a world where comfort meets luxury. This pattern exposes more threads on the surface, offering a soft, sumptuous feel that's hard to resist. Our sateen is crafted with high-quality, 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton, ensuring durability and aligning with our values of purity (Sei) and respect (Kei) for nature and our customers. The breathability of natural fibers like cotton makes sateen ideal for various climates, promising a restful and rejuvenating sleep.

Satin Weave: Fragile or Filled with Petrochemcials

Satin, with its three-over-one-under weave, is a symbol of traditional luxury. Known for its glossy sheen, satin can be made from silk or synthetic materials like polyester. While silk satin boasts a luxurious feel, it often demands delicate care. Conversely, synthetics offer durability but compromise on breathability and eco-friendliness. While satin may feel luxurious, it’s also a bit like a high-maintenance friend – requiring extra care and not always the most breathable.

Which Weave is Best for Sensitive Skin?

For those with sensitive skin, the choice of bedding can significantly impact comfort and health. Sateen weave is particularly beneficial as it reduces friction, which can irritate sensitive skin. The smooth surface of sateen provides a gentler touch, promoting a peaceful night’s sleep without skin irritation.

Customer Testimonial

Really Special
I loved these sheets so much that I bought two sets. First impressions were; quality packaging and presentation, silky feel, and visually pleasing to the eye. After washing and hanging to dry there was no shrinking but some wrinkles, which were no big deal because they ironed out like a dream. They fit my Casper mattress perfectly too. The main reason I dished out the $$ for these was because of quality materials and the natural Indigo dye used, which was a bonus for my sensitive skin. - Rene M.
