Understanding Percale Weave

Percale is a type of weave that is typically used to make sheets, pillowcases, duvet sets, and more.

This pattern creates sheets that feel crisp and cool, lightweight, and are airy and breathable making them an excellent choice for those who want to sleep cool at night.

The tight weave means percale sheets are also super-durable and get softer with each wash. Percale sheets made with 100% organic cotton results in higher quality and softness.
