Price:
- What is the best
price to pay for satin sheets? Quality satin sheets are going to run
you $120 to $300 for a full king-size set (bottom fitted
sheet, top flat, and 2 pillowcases). Yes, very
expensive. This is one area where you really get what
you pay for. Higher prices mean not only better
quality material, but also finer stitching of seams, etc.
- Bargains are really only available when
someone is closing out a pattern or color. Sometimes a
company will offer an annual sale where they sell their
canceled orders, but selection is very limited.
-
Anything less than $120, particularly
for a full set (top and bottom sheets plus pillowcases), is going to be a cheap department store
quality (read:
knit material). Most likely it will be a knit material, even
if not described that way.

Other
information:
- Most reputable satin sheet stores do
not stock pre-made sheets - they keep the bolts of material
and make sets when orders arrive. This means it may
take 1 to 4 weeks between you placing an order and it
actually shipping. Be wary of ready-to-ship stores,
they are quite possibly offering knit instead of woven
fabrics.
- Satin sheets are available in any size,
and of course you can get satin waterbed sheets.
- Because real satin is expensive, many
stores sell top and fitted sheets separately. Be
careful to order full sets (fitted, flat, plus
pillow-cases). I recommend buying at least 2 sets of
the same color so you always have a matched set, even if you
damage part of one. Since my husband and I have 4
pillows on our bed, we bought lots of extra pillowcases.
- Take care to look for deep pocket cut
fitted sheets if you have a pillow-top bed; woven satin
doesn't stretch much and nothing is worse than a sheet that
keeps pulling off the bed!
