Luxurious percale cotton is like falling asleep in the crisp bedding of a chic five-star hotel, only at home. Its soft, silky surface remains as elegant and neat as on the first night, even after hundreds of washes.

What's the secret? It's in the special cross-weave of the finest cotton fibers, which is called percale. Thanks to it, the cotton fabric is very dense, with a smooth, pleasant to the touch, delicate surface. And mercerization - a key fabric processing step - ensures color saturation, a subtle velvety sheen, and softness even after several years of daily use.

Read on to understand the difference between percale and other cotton fabrics and to learn about its six main features.

Luxury

Percale weave natural cotton bedding is so aesthetic, delicate, and pleasant to the touch that every time you relax in its soft embrace, you'll be mentally transported to luxurious apartments with enchanting ocean views.

Tenderness

Your delicate skin will fall in love with percale from the very first touch. Its incredible softness and subtle velvety sheen are achieved through mercerization – a brief treatment of the material with a special concentrated solution followed by rinsing with hot and cold water.

Durability

In addition to a soft surface, mercerization makes the fabric strong, fade-resistant, and also increases its ability to quickly absorb and wick away moisture. That's why percale bedding lasts for many years, retaining its rich color and the same neat appearance as on the first day.

Versatility

Falling asleep in percale bedding is equally pleasant at any time of year – natural cotton retains warmth in winter and provides a feeling of pleasant coolness in summer. And thanks to its rich yet delicate palette, which includes many pastel shades, bedding made from this fabric can easily complement the cozy interior of any bedroom.

Easy care

Natural percale cotton bedding is very easy to care for at home. The main thing is to remember one simple rule – do not use bleaches and fabric softeners, which can damage the structure of natural fabric and cause yellowing. The rest is taken care of by processes such as sanforization – thermal treatment of cotton fabric that prevents shrinkage after washing, and mercerization, which ensures color richness even after several years of daily use.
