percale vs sateen
When shopping for bedding, you’ll likely come across two popular cotton weaves: Percale and Sateen. While they may look similar at first, each has distinct qualities that affect the feel and breathability of your bed.
Here’s a closer look at Percale vs Sateen to help you choose the right option for your sleep style.
Cotton Percale is like a breath of fresh air on a sunny morning. Known for its crisp and cool feel, percale is crafted using a simple, criss cross weave of one-thread-over, one-thread-under. This tight weave pattern makes percale extremely durable, ready to withstand those Sunday-morning-pile-ons by the kids (or the dog) and breakfast-in-bed without worrying about your bedding.
A winner amongst warm sleepers, percale is lightweight, breathable and temperature regulating meaning it can keep you cool in Summer and warm in Winter. Featuring a smooth, matte finish, percale becomes softer and more comfortable with every wash, ensuring that you can enjoy a cosy and smooth sleep surface for years to come.
If you prefer a cool and crisp sensation against your skin, Cotton Percale is the ultimate choice to create a serene sleep environment.
If you crave a touch of elegance and indulgence in your sleep environment, then Sateen is here to sweep you off your feet. Made using a thicker fibre and loose weave structure, Sateen is usually characterised by a four-threads-over, one-thread-under pattern. This unique structure creates a beautifully silky-smooth sheen that is reminiscent of a luxurious hotel getaway.
Not only does sateen feel incredibly soft against your skin, but it also has a slightly heavier weight compared to percale, making it ideal for those who prefer a warm and cosy sleep experience. The fabric is also inherently more wrinkle-resistant, requiring less ironing to achieve that ‘hotel-ready’ look in your bedroom.
If you live in a cooler climate and like to be tucked in cosy during the night, sateen will provide you with ultimate bedtime indulgence.
