What is percale?
Percale is a tight 1×1 cotton weave with a matte finish. Compared to sateen (a 4×1 weave with a silky sheen), percale feels crisper, sleeps cooler, and stays cooler through the night. The percale weave creates microscopic gaps between yarns, which boost airflow and breathability. The look is matte, not shiny. The feel is crisp, not silky. Percale gets softer with every wash without losing its cool, structured drape.
Why our cotton percale duvet covers stay cool
The percale weave creates microscopic gaps between yarns, boosting airflow. Combined with our long-staple organic cotton fibers, our percale duvet covers wick body heat and moisture better than sateen — making them our most popular choice for hot sleepers.

Yes. The 1×1 percale weave creates tiny gaps that boost airflow.
