Satin sheets come in solid colors and patterns. Solid-colored satin sheets come in almost every color of the rainbow. Common patterns include satin stripes, polka dots or floral. Satin sheets are available in the same sizes as traditional sheets, although those with rare size beds may find sheet selection minimal as when purchasing traditional cotton sheets for an unusual size bed.
Satin sheets give a spa-like feeling to your bed. They are cool to the touch and make your bed a nest of luxury. Satin pillowcases benefit your skin; they aid in wrinkle prevention (a lot less pillow crease), and for acne sufferers, bacteria buildup is minimal. Using satin sheets always works for back and other body acne as well.
Satin sheets are typically expensive. Care for your sheets as an essential item in the home; follow the directions on the tag for optimal care and maintenance. Real satin sheets require dry cleaning, but linen blend silk sheets may be laundered according to the tag directions. Store satin sheets in a clean, dark place and avoid losing the color. Note that satin sheets with deep colors should never be stored in sunlight.
Mixing up the textures on your bed is one way of creating a rich, sophisticated bedroom. Weave a satin sheet together with wool pillows, a suede throw and a heavy cotton duvet. Add lacy pillows with leather trim for an elegant finish. Leave enough satin sheet and pillowcases visible to show off your well-textured bed.
