King Size Cotton Sateen Fitted Sheet 500TC - Grey, 18in Deep Pocket

Our review of the King Size Cotton Sateen Fitted Sheet focuses on sleepers who want hotel-style softness with a secure deep-pocket fit. The bottom line: this sheet delivers a noticeably smooth, breathable surface thanks to its 500 thread count and long-staple cotton, and the 18in deep pockets with wide elastic keep it firmly in place on tall mattresses. It suits hot sleepers who still want a soft, lustrous feel and anyone replacing microfiber for a natural cotton option.

Key Features

• 500 thread count: provides a dense yet breathable surface that feels smooth and slightly silky, mimicking hotel bedding comfort.
• 18in deep pockets: accommodate thick mattresses and maintain a snug fit without slipping, bunching, or popping off overnight.
• Sateen weave: gives a lustrous finish and a soft hand while remaining breathable for both warm and cool nights.
• Long-staple cotton: reduces pilling and loose fibers so the sheet keeps a clean look wash after wash.
• OEKO-TEX 100 certified: tested fabric provides assurance against harmful substances and a safer sleep surface.
• Mercerized yarns: enhance sheen and color depth while improving resistance to fading and pilling.

Who It's For

This fitted sheet suits people with deep mattresses up to 18in who want an upgrade from synthetics to pure cotton. It is ideal for those who value a soft, hotel-like feel and a polished sheen in a neutral grey that pairs well with many duvet covers and pillowcases.

Shoppers seeking wrinkle-free, low-maintenance bedding or who need stretch beyond an 18in pocket should look elsewhere; cotton can crease if left in the dryer too long, and the fitted design is engineered specifically for mattresses that match the listed dimensions.
