Redlemon: Sateen and Jersy aren't the best for durability. Try for Egyptian cotton sheets, they have longer fibres.
Terms to Understanding Cotton Sheets
Egyptian Cotton
Long staple variety from Egypt with fiber length of around 1 3/8" known for it's luxurious softness. At one time Egyptian cotton sheets were sold primarily in the more expensive stores but today you can find them in most linen departments. The longer the fiber, the more luxurious and durable the grade of cotton.
Pima cotton
Known for it's strength and durability this cotton was developed in the southwestern U.S by a careful breeding of Egyptian cottons which fiber length averages 1 ½".
SuPima
This is a certification mark used by members of the SuPima Association of America and certifies that the fabric is 100% Southwestern cotton grown by members of the association.
Thread Count
Thread count is the number of threads per square inch of fabric and determines the softness and durability of the item.
Sateen
This has a stitch of four over, one under, placing the most threads on the surface, making it lustrous and smooth, although not as durable as other weaves.
Pinpoint
This is a stitch of two over and one under. It is very durable but not as soft as other weaves.
Percale
This term is used to indicate that the sheets have a thread count of 180 or higher.

Don't assume that higher thread counts mean better quality Durability, strength, and pleasant touch depend as much on the quality of cotton, weave, and finish as on thread count. For example, costly cotton sateens may have thread counts of 310 or up, but their weave makes them much less durable and, because the cloth is thinner, less absorbent than lower-thread-count, plain-woven percales. Even among percales, which today come in thread counts rising from the traditional 180 to 310 and more, my favorite has a thread count of only 200. It has better body, crispness, durability, and absorbency than thinner, higher-thread-count versions.
