If you're in the market for king sheets, make sure they fit your mattress. King sheets should have deep pockets to accommodate larger king-size mattresses and prevent them from slipping. Also consider the sheet's thread count, which refers to the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric.
Sateen weave is a type of cotton weave, which is one thread over and three threads under. This is different from the percale cotton weave – the traditional one thread over and one thread under. These additional threads make sateen slightly warmer on the skin, so it's great for cooler sleepers.
Coverlet
A coverlet is a bedcovering with sides that hang down a few inches past the box spring, but don’t touch the floor. A coverlet can be tucked in or left untucked if edged with decorative trim. Luxury coverlets can be layered directly over a flat sheet or over a blanket. It may sometimes resemble a quilt, but unlike a quilt, which is comprised of several layers, a coverlet is just one layer of fabric woven in such a way that mimics the quilting technique.
