I upgraded my bed linens from standard cheapest cotton to satin.

It's such a huge difference I can't quite put it into words. It's completely different. I love it - some people might not though.

It feels cool and smooth. I sleep wearing only boxer briefs, and did previously as well.

One downside is you have to wash and dry them separately - but I already did that anyway because of the load.

Sateen (satin) vs. Percale is just the weave. Some people prefer one over the other.

Check out this wirecutter podcast for WAY more information than you ever probably wanted to know about bedsheets[1]

I did something similar and actually upgraded my boxer briefs as well to a similar material, to bamboo fiber which feels much softer than cotton.
There's nothing quite like waking up to your private parts being gently caressed by panda food.
I've been catching up on my The Daily Stoic, and still the best phrase I've read today has "your private parts being gently massaged", with "panda food"!!!
Yes exactly feels great.
Any particular brand/model? I used to buy some Calvin Klein in Modal textile, but they switched to Cotton which is not as smooth and piles over time. :(

Thanks.

I believe it was Knitlord but Bamboo Cool seems to be another good brand, at least on Amazon.
You people don't sleep naked?
I used to, then my roommate got quite a shock one day, so I don't anymore, lol.
