I'm not one to iron sheets. If I had all cotton sheets and the wrinkles bothered me, I would have to send them out to a laundry service for washings and ironing.
There are sateen and percale in several price points. Percale is not more expensive- just a different weave. You must have only had a choice between brands of different price points.
I only see percale in catalogs, and it is more expensive than the sateen sheets I buy with a 20% off coupon at BB&B. I used to buy sheets at TJ Maxx or Homegoods, but I don’t recall seeing percale. I finally got rid of a set of thick muslin sheets I bought over a decade ago at one of those stores. At one point in my life I owned a house with 4 beds. I was always looking for sheet deals!
You can still find percale at Vermont Countty Store and LL Bean. I think The Company Store also carries them.
Honestly, the sateen sheets I buy at BB&B are good enough for us. If the quality deteriorates, I’ll find another source. But I’m good for now.

I just ordered vintage cotton percale on ebay. They are unopened, still in the package. I still remember the old brand names so I think/hope I know what I'm buying. Was going to do LL Bean but decided to try this first.
Percale or even a nice 60/40 cotton poly blend. My favorite sheets are Pinzon Velvet Flannel from Amazon that I got a decade ago, I can have them on my bed year round but usually default to percale in the summer months.
HATE sateen or microfiber or jersey or normal flannel. Bleah.
I use wolf's hair sheets mostly for pennance. It's not so much to do with sleeping on the wolf-hair sheets as it is the catching and shearing of the wolves. Wolves don't go for that much. And then there's the weaving once I heal up.
I actually have no idea what kind of sheets are on my bed and I've no complaints from visitors so I guess I'm good. I couldn't sleep one night and thought I'd count the threads to see what my thread count was but that put me to sleep. I never knew there were so many choices in sheets.

Well, I would never use wolf hair sheets, because I am highly allergic to wolves. I prefer to do penance sleeping on legos. I am not allergic to them, but I definitely do penance. I sneak my bed legos from my grandkids, and they never miss them. I strew the legos around on my 100% cotton, 600 thread count, smooth percale sheets.
Then I toss and turn all night. There are many ways to do penance. It is easier to catch legos than wolves.
