Cool, Crisp and Comfortable Cotton
Cotton percale bedding is a luxurious choice known for its crisp, cool, and breathable feel. Woven with a lovely, tight weave, it offers fabulous durability and a smoother-than-smooth texture. Perfect for those seeking a classic, hotel-like experience, cotton percale bedding provides comfort and style for a restful night's sleep.
Cotton percale is a matte fabric made with a simple 'one over, one under' weave which gives it its strength, durability, and crisp and cool feel. To be called percale, the fabric must have a thread count of 180 per square inch or higher.
While cotton percale sheets can wrinkle a little more easily than their sateen sister, their high quality and smooth finish often means fewer wrinkles than some other lighter weight cotton weaves.
You can reduce the creasing by making sure they don't get too wrinkled in the machine and removing them promptly from the dryer. Percale bedding is always worth getting the iron out for as you will get a beautifully crisp finish with a hot iron.
Cotton percale is a popular choice for hotel bedrooms because it offers that signature, crisp feel as well as having fabulous longevity, even with repeated washing.
Cotton percale bedding is made using a classic 'over-and-under' weave to create light, crisp and cool-to-the-touch feel with a matte finish. Cotton sateen bedding on the other hand, is the closest thing you can get to satin. This weave 'floats' the yarn over several rows at a time exposing more thread surface, making sumptuous sheets with a glossy sheen.
