What is percale?

Percale is a tight 1×1 cotton weave with a matte finish — one yarn over, one yarn under, repeated thousands of times. Compared to sateen (a 4×1 weave with a silky sheen), percale feels crisper, sleeps cooler, and stays cooler through the night.

Why our percale bedding stays cool

The percale weave creates microscopic gaps between yarns, boosting airflow. Combined with our long-staple organic cotton fibers, our percale wicks body heat and moisture better than sateen — making it our most popular pick for hot sleepers and warm bedrooms. The look is matte (never shiny). The feel is crisp (never silky). Hotel-quality from day one.

Where our percale is made

Woven in a family-run mill in northern Portugal from long-staple organic cotton. Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certified — every component tested for 100+ harmful substances.

Frequently asked questions about percale bedding

Is percale bedding cool to sleep on?

Yes — percale is the coolest cotton weave. The 1×1 structure boosts airflow, making it the top recommendation for hot sleepers and warm bedrooms.

Is percale bedding soft?

Yes, especially when made from long-staple cotton. Long fibers create fewer joins and a smoother surface that softens with every wash without losing crispness.

What thread count is best for percale?

Between 200-400. Higher thread counts in percale lose breathability without adding meaningful softness. Long-staple cotton matters more than thread count.

Does percale wrinkle?

Yes — the crisp matte finish is part of the aesthetic. It's the hotel-bed look.

Percale vs sateen bedding — which is better?

Percale for hot sleepers and crisp hotel feel. Sateen for cool bedrooms and silky drape. Both 100% organic cotton; same fiber, different weave.
