I was actually kind of wary about these, when sateen is mentioned I always worry it is going to be too silky for my liking. Not these. These are literally the best sheets I have ever owned. They are soft and smooth but not too silky. They wash and dry like a dream, although I have the white it does specifically say to not bleach so I have not and the white is still nice and vibrant so far. They don't dry super wrinkly, I don't care much about that but if you do, these are great. My mattress is a pain for sheets to stay on, deep pockets are a must and the thick stretchy band has held these in place better than any other. I'd 100% recommend these.
