Brooklinen Sateen Pillowcases

Sateen, like these pillowcases, features a weave that exposes more thread surface, resulting in a silkier, slightly heavier feel with a subtle sheen. Percale is a simpler, one-over-one-under weave that feels crisp, cool, and matte, similar to a classic button-down shirt.

No, the envelope closure is designed to be sleek and discreet. It simply tucks the open end of the pillowcase inside itself, ensuring your pillow stays fully covered without any extra fabric bulk or uncomfortable hardware.

A 480 thread count strikes a balance between durability and softness. It is high enough to create a smooth, substantial drape that feels luxurious against the skin, but not so high that it compromises the breathability of the cotton.

Because these are crafted from 100% long-staple cotton, they are significantly more resistant to pilling than standard cotton. Long-staple fibers have fewer exposed ends, which keeps the surface smooth and soft even after repeated machine washings.

While sateen is known for a slightly warmer, more insulating feel than percale, these are made from 100% breathable cotton. They are generally comfortable for year-round use, though if you are an extremely hot sleeper, you might prefer the crisper airflow of a percale weave.
