King Size Cotton Sheets Set 500 TC Sateen - Cooling Deep Pockets

In this review the California Design Den King size sheets are evaluated for anyone who wants a soft, breathable bedding set that fits deep mattresses. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a 500 thread count sateen weave and extra long staple cotton that produces a silky, cooling hand while still feeling substantial. After several washes the fabric remains soft and the fitted sheet stays securely in place thanks to the all-around elastic, making this set a strong option for sensitive skin and warm sleepers alike.

Key Features

• Silky soft cotton: The extra long staple cotton and 500 thread count sateen weave deliver a smooth, lustrous surface that improves with washing.
• Cooling performance: The lightweight construction and breathable cotton make the set comfortable across seasons, especially for those who run warm at night.
• Deep pocket fitted sheet: The fitted sheet measures 78 in W x 80 in L with a 16 in deep pocket and all-around elastic to secure deep mattresses and topper combinations.
• Complete king set: Includes one fitted sheet, one flat sheet (112 in W x 102 in L) and two king pillowcases (21 in W x 40 in L) for a full bed linen refresh.
• Easy care: Machine washable and designed to soften over time with recommendations for warm wash and short dry cycle to maintain durability and reduce wrinkles.
• Certified and ethical: STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX certification indicates the fabric is tested for harmful substances and ethically manufactured.

Who It's For

This set is best for people who value a soft, hotel-like sateen finish and those with sensitive skin who prefer pure cotton. It suits warm sleepers and households that want a lightweight but substantial sheet that breathes and stays comfortable year-round.

Shoppers with very tight budgets who prioritize ultra-low cost may look elsewhere, and those seeking a heavy percale crispness or stretch-knit jersey feel should consider different weaves; this set focuses on sateen sheen and softness rather than a crisp percale texture.
