How do you love to sleep?

How does it feel? Before you purchase your next set of sheets discover what really matters to you and how you love to sleep.

What is Percale?

Percale is one of the most popular sheeting choices because of its sleep easy feel. Percale is a tight uniform weave that results in a smooth crisp fabric with a matte look. But be careful, you need to know a little more about percale before buying.

Percale can be woven from various fibers. For the best percale, look for 100% cotton. Even better, seek 100% Egyptian cotton. Egyptian cotton is renowned because it yields one of the longest-staple cottons in the world. The longer the fiber, the better it can be spun into a smoother, stronger yard.

Next Question – How Heavy?

It’s time to think about the weight of the sheet. Do you prefer ultra-light or to be draped in softness? The weight of the sheet can really make all the difference. Percale can be woven to plush chamois-like hand to an almost-not-there feeling.

Hey, what about thread count?

As you have read, thread count is only one part of the equation. A thread count tells you how many threads there are in a square inch of fabric, but it doesn’t tell you the quality of those threads, how they are woven and finished. So, don’t be fooled by common packaging! 

When it’s time for you to purchase new sheets, shop with an expert in bedding and you won’t be disappointed with your purchase.
