I have bought the sateen sheets for my bed...very expensive. (over 100.00 for set) They only lasted 6 months...I will never buy those again. My fear with bed sheets is that the quality of the fabric does not seem the same and I do not buy cheap sheet though I am starting to think I should...and just buy them more often. I would not trust a sheet for the backing unless its for a guest room where it would not be used or washed often.
