r/Bedding on Reddit: My thoughts on Sferra Finna and Giza 45 Percale
March 26, 2024 -
I shopped around for luxury brand sheets last year and I had a lot of hesitation and went back and forth on buying them, so I thought I'd share my experience for those thinking of purchasing these expensive sheets.
I ended up purchasing both Sferra Finna and Sferra Giza 45 percale. The Sferra Finna were disappointing. While they are very comfortable, I did not find them much more comfortable than my Egyptian cotton sets from L.L Bean (although I've had some major quality control issues with LL Bean that make me wary of ever buying them again). I definitely do not think they are worth 3x the price.
However, after being skeptical of other reviews, I have to say that the Giza 45 sheets are on a different level and by far the most comfortable sheets I've ever had. They are silky smooth while still being very breathable. They are so comfortable, any other sheets I sleep with, including the Finnas, are noticeably less comfortable. I ended up buying another set, because they're just that good.
For those who can afford the $1000+ price tag, I definitely recommend the Giza 45s. However, I still think that my Egyptian cotton sheets from LL Bean are very comfortable and for those looking for something less expensive I would recommend them over the Sferra Finna's just because of the price alone.

Thanks for sharing your experience! I’m a bit more positive on the finna than you but it’s super useful to hear the experiences of people who do spring for the really high end stuff. Did you get fabric swatches before buying the sferra sheets?

Is It Worth It? The Lowdown on Luxe Sheets by Sferra - Remodelista
July 10, 2025 - A word to the wise when purchasing fine sheets: Know thy weave. Similar to their use of thread count, marketing departments have distorted our idea of what terms such as “percale” and “sateen” mean. For example, I read one comment in which a reviewer found Sferra Giza 45 Percale sheets to be too stiff.

Sferra Giza 45
I read an article in the new Yorker that said Egyptian cotton is just like regular cotton because it has been so badly bred and farmed anymore (for at least the last 15 years). This would explain why it seems there isn't much difference in quality. So it is sort of false advertising. I bought a random towel at a Home Goods store called Feather Touch and it to this day is an anomaly of a cotton fabric and I suspect this is made from real long staple cotton. I cannot find a thing like it anywhere and the brand seems to be defunct. It is like a silky microfiber. I bought it in 2016 or 2017 which might be due to supplies of actual long staple cotton still being available. Leave it to humans to ruin something amazing from nature. More on reddit.com

June 18, 2022Percale vs. Sateen Sheets?
We have silk pillowcases and the blood came right out in the wash. Would either weave last longer than another? At the moment, I'm looking at the Sferra Giza 45 sheets. The sateen is more expensive, but in either case I'm looking at $1500+ so I don't want to make the wrong. More on styleforum.net

March 26, 2024St Geneve Giza 45 Sateen sheets vs others sheets?
I haven’t tried the St Geneve Giza, but I have the st Geneve avorio pillowcases and they’re lovely (but they are silk). I love the Sferra Giza sateen. We also have the Finna, which is nice, but I prefer the Giza sateen. I haven’t had the chance to try the Matouk gatsby, but I’ve heard good things. I don’t know anything about frette, sorry!! u/SorcererLeotard is usually brilliant on all things bedding… 😁 More on reddit.com

February 10, 2025 - But though the Frette Doppio Ajour and Sferra Giotto sets cost about six times as much as our upgrade sheet pick, they don’t feel five times better. The Giza 45, however, is absolutely 10 times better.

Could only afford the pillow cases but they are by far the silkiest and smoothest cotton I’ve ever touched not just slept on.
I’m curious to try the full set of Giza 45 luxe sheets which is over 10k for a set

Only you can decide if it’s worth it. I have some bedding from an Italian mill that was custom made but it’s linen and there’s no doubt they are good but I still prefer the made to order Linen sheets I have from an Irish mill as the weave is far superior but the cost was higher. If you like the 45s then go for it.

Percale vs. Sateen Sheets? | Styleforum
June 25, 2020 - We got some Giza 45 sheets last year and we had this exact "discussion" between my wife and I. As you mentioned, percale is weaved less tightly and is cooler. The texture / look is also a bit different, percale is initially rougher to the touch and more plain while sateen is shinier and "softer".
