Is sateen better than percale for hot sleepers?

No. Percale is the cooler, crisper weave. Sateen is smoother and heavier, so it suits people who sleep cool or keep the bedroom air-conditioned.

What sizes does the Luxe Core set come in?

Twin, Twin XL, Full/Double, Queen and King. Each set includes a flat sheet, fitted sheet and pillowcases, with the count of pillowcases varying by size.

Will the fitted sheet fit a thick mattress?

Owners commonly report the deep pockets handle thick mattresses and toppers without popping off, though very tall setups can still be tight.

How does it compare with Brooklinen's Classic percale?

The Luxe Core is softer and smoother with a slight sheen; the Classic percale is crisper, cooler and more breathable. Choose based on whether you want smoothness or coolness.

Does it need special care?

Machine wash cold and tumble dry low. Prompt removal from the dryer limits wrinkles, which sateen shows more than percale.

Is it worth it over cheaper cotton sheets?

If you want a smooth sateen feel and deep-pocket fit in a complete set, owners say it is a clear step up from basic cotton. Hot sleepers and wrinkle-averse buyers should look elsewhere.
