Our Organic washed cotton sateen shams have a 1/2″ micro-flange with double stitch detail and an envelope closure to hold your pillow insert snugly in place.

Sham vs. Pillowcase

Shams and Pillowcases are both used to protect pillow inserts, but there are a wide variety of constructions. Typically, shams are more fitted and employ some method of closure to keep the pillow in place, whereas pillowcases loosely encase the pillow and are open on the side.

Fabric

Twenty years ago, we wanted a sateen that did not require ironing. Thats it. What we did not know was that with our special washes in our dye-house, we would create something so soft that would not only get better with use but last. Our Organic washed cotton sateen is not only woven with pure 60s yarn but it is also 100% Egyptian Cotton. Organic washed cotton sateen provides just the right balance of softness and warmth as you slide into sleep.

We hope you enjoy it and sleep as well as we do.

Care Details

Wash

Wash should be separated into light & dark colors. Do not overload machine as this will damage long cotton fibers. We recommend a lukewarm wash cycle with a gentle detergent & a cool rinse.

Bleach may be used on white cotton bed linens only. Avoid using products that contain whitening agents such as chlorine bleach, alpha hydroxy acids and benzoyl peroxide on garment-dyed items. The reactive dyes used for garment-dyeing are not resistant to these whitening agents.

The largest challenge with garment-dyeing is the truth that it is an art, and not a science. We must allow for a shade variation of +/- 10% from dye-lot to dye-lot.

Drying

Tumble dry with low heat.Remove bed linens promptly from the machine to reduce wrinkling. For best results, line dry.

Ironing

We at MATTEO tend to prefer a lived-in look, as such, you don’t find us ironing our sheets too frequently. If you prefer a crisp looking bed, our cotton bed linens should be pressed while slightly damp using the Lightweight Cotton or Medium setting.
