Do "sateen" sheets catch on dry skin patches like microfiber ones do?

I don't believe they do. But I don't have any experience with microfiber sheets.

No I haven't had that kind if discomfort with them . They are soft but there is a crispness to them.

hi, my sheets are very smooth. I do not own any microfiber sheets, nor do I ever plan to purchase any. I love my cotton sheets. I think you will be very happy with the pinzon sheet, I love them. hope this helps.

Even at this point, with very few washings, I have not had a problem with any resistance against dry skin patches.

Hi Medi, I'm out of town right now so I can't go to my own bed and experiment with the sheet. All I can say is that it seemed pretty standard to me . . . do you regularly have trouble with standard fitted sheets? If so, you might have the same problem with these. Write back if you want me to experiment a bit when I'm home again (Sunday, Jan. 5) and get back to you with more info.

After a few nights of using it, I've noticed none on my white sheets. I'm a side/stomach sleeper as well.

They have a microfiber feel. They are soft and very comfortable. But as far as like a thick sateen feeling, no. More of a soft microfiber feeling, which for Chicago winters is perfect! I am a sheet snob and for the price, I have no regrets.

No. The definition of Microfiber is synthethic fiber. These sheets are wonderful though, don't let that scare you off. Go to Wikipedia for a good explanation of microfiber. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microfiber

Microfiber inserts are the only thing I'm aware of that you absolutely should not put next to your baby's skin. These are velour and so super soft, you'll actually want to put them next to baby's skin! If you're looking for a stay-dry option for night time, you can also cut and finish a strip of flannel slightly bigger than the insert to put between the baby's bum and the insert for a stay-dry feel (also recommended for use with prefolds). Doubled up with a prefold, these work well for night time!

Yes, but It's a hassle to zip up & put back on after drying. I know this from having my other mattress. So I purchased hypoallergenic cover and over that a water protector so the actual fabric will never get stained, dirty, soiled etc... Hey, I have kids. Hope that helps.

I originally tried them on my sons full bed with regular sheets and had them over the mattress pad and it was fine the 1st night because I did not have deep pocket sheets but the sheet kept popping off and looked messy because you could see the mattress. I just went to target the next day and got deep pocket sheets and they work perfect!

When new I have found these to stick very well. Like any other adhesive patch an accumulation of skin oil, and dead skin cells will make them work poorly. Wiping your skin with isopropyl alcohol will slow that down. You can "renew" the surface by rinsing them in warm water. Be very careful not to pull on the wire in any way as they dislodge very easily, and will not go back in.

No, they are more of a microfiber, velvety feel...but they are soft. And warm...not a cold sheet feel!

NO! They are cheaply made, and I am constantly having to put the fitted sheets back on the corners. They come off almost every night.

Yes, it holds its shape well. Sometimes with microfiber it's suggested not to use dryer sheets because with that coating it may not absorb as well. I put it in the regular wash with everything else and haven't had problems yet. I do a vinegar soak every couple of months with other microfiber items to strip them of buildup.

If recently applied (like within 24 hours) it might. I'd just be careful if they're light colored sheets. I apply the tanner in the morning (8am) and after I let it dry, I cover up with dark clothes. By bedtime it's usually ok (I haven't had issues with it transferring), but with light colored sheets that you don't want ruined I'd put down a towel or something just to be safe :) hope that helps!

Yes... however the drawback is that they will feel and stay wet against their skin, so I try and change them right away. The "stay-dry" ones work well for longer periods. Sometimes I use one of those with one of these underneath for extra absorbency. Hope that helps.

I think so. It dries so it doesn't "soak" into your skin. It might make sensitive skin react though. I would recommend treating a small spot on a t-shirt, letting it dry, and see if your family reacts. Note that it will take a LOT of product to do an entire sheet.

Depends on what you're trying to stick them onto. I've used them for scrapbooking projects and on skin. Both work well! If using on skin, apply to clean dry skin.

yes for my bed the most part they do. You may slip and slide a bit but they usually stay very well! The sheet like falling off but the fitted stays well and I am a toss and turner so yes I have to say yes.
