The sateen sheeting is pristine, coordinates with the SFERRA GIZA 45® jacquard and percale and is also finished with the understated hemstitch. Woven to 700 threads per square inch.*

I have always purchase the highest quality Egyptian Cotton bed linens. Let me tell you, NOTHING compares to my Giza 45 sheets. They are so soft and light. Unbelieveable!

I just got a set of the Giza sateen sheets and they are so light and soft. Makes me not want to get out of bed in the morning! I did find they only need to be in the dryer about third of the time compared to a regular set of sheets, since they are so thin they dry quick! I travel a lot for work and not sure how I will be able to sleep on hotel sheets after this?
