This fabric contains 200 threads per square inch woven in a percale weave of pure cotton.
Percale employs a straightforward plain-weave pattern. Imagine it as a friendly criss-cross: one thread goes over, and the next one goes under. This creates a tightly woven fabric that feels crisp and has a matte finish.
Percale sheets typically have a thread count of about 180 or higher. Compared to other weaves like twill or sateen, percale is noticeably tighter. It’s like the well-pressed shirt of the bedding world—firm, smooth, and without any glossy sheen
The magic lies in those thin threads. When woven together, they yield a lightweight, breathable fabric. Picture yourself on a warm summer night, cocooned in percale sheets—the perfect balance of comfort and coolness. No wonder it’s a favourite for those who tend to sleep hot.
Pure cotton gets softer with age, especially after washing. Cotton is a natural fibre derived from the cotton plant. It’s soft, breathable, and comfortable. Being entirely natural, it’s biodegradable and eco-friendly. It’s highly absorbent, allowing it to wick away moisture from your skin. It does, however, require steam ironing if you prefer a wrinkle free bed. Make sure you use steam or spray it with water before ironing as this make the job quick. Dry sheets do not iron well.
