Percale is a plain-weave cotton fabric known for its matte finish and cool hand-feel. Look for 200–300 thread-count sheets labeled long-staple or Pima for added durability. Pre-wash new sheets to remove sizing and soften the fabric.
Available in twin, full, queen, king, and California-king sizes with fitted, flat, and pillowcase sets.
Deep-pocket fitted sheets accommodate mattresses up to 18 inches; confirm depth before ordering.
OEKO-TEX or GOTS certification indicates low chemical use during production.
Measure mattress height and review care instructions before purchase.
