Linens Limited 100% Egyptian Cotton 200 Thread Count Fitted Sheet, White, Super King

Product Information

Percale sheets are best suited to people who prefer crisp, lightweight bedding. They also offer above-average breathability. Blended Percale: In most cases, blended percale refers to a blend of cotton and polyester. This material is not as strong or durable as pure cotton percale, but it is affordable and feels quite soft.

We recently tested a 1,400 thread count cotton/polyester sheet set that uses one of these techniques and (not surprisingly) it wasn't a top performer. Polyester does have its own selling points – it’s stronger, more wrinkle-resistant and less expensive than cotton – but it certainly doesn’t feel as luxurious as a natural fiber. The Saatva Percale Sheets should feel quite comfortable for anyone who enjoys the crisp, breathable feel of pure cotton. A 200 thread count and percale weave enhance the fiber’s natural qualities to create light, breathable bedding that sleeps cool during hotter times of the year and feels smooth against the skin. While percale is quite breathable and well suited to warm weather, the fabric is a bit too thin and lightweight to insulate you from the cold. You may want to consider a heavier sheet set for the winter months. While percale sheets are popular with many sleepers, some find this type of bedding a bit too coarse at first. The Snowe Percale Sheet Set feels exceptionally soft while retaining the classic crisp appearance of percale sheets. The sheets are particularly well-suited to people seeking sheets that are both breathable and easy on the skin. At a minimum, look for sheets with an advertised thread count of 200. Anything lower than likely won’t feel as soft, and may result in a less comfortable sleeping experience.Sateen is smooth and silky-soft when new. Over time, sateen will become softer and drapier. Since the thread count is higher, sateen is usually heavier than percale and also not as breathable.

This factor is purely aesthetic, but still important to many consumers. Percale sheets are available in a wide range of designs, including neutral and earth tones, bright shades, and multi-colored patterns. Depending on the brand, you may need to pay more for certain colors and patterns, such as “limited edition” styles. Silk: Measured in momme. Momme is a measure of weight that looks for the number of pounds in a piece of silk that is 45 inches by 100 yards. Look for silk sheets around the 17-22 momme range. Once again, if it is longevity and ease of use you are after, a premium quality polycotton percale fabric is the best choice. Other advantages of using polycotton is price, they are often much cheaper to buy that the equivalent cotton fabrics and there is also a bigger choice of brighter and more child friendly colours to brighten up the bedroom. Our full range of polycotton bedding has over 25 modern colours to choose from and a greater choice of nonstandard UK sizes, as well as the larger emperor bedding options. Benefits of Polycotton Percale Bedding All percale sheets are woven with the weft threads floating over the warp threads in a tight, one-by-one pattern. Unless this technique is used, then the sheets should not be considered percale. Keep in mind that some brands prefer the more traditional “plain weave” label, which is synonymous with percale. Egyptian cotton is produced in the upper region of the Nile delta in Egypt, the lush fertile grounds give the ideal conditions to produce a high quality cotton bud and procures some of the longest staple yarns which are then spun in high tech mills to produce this superior quality percale bedding fabric. A percale fabric is considered the best quality as it is stronger and a more even weave which reduces any potential snapping and shrinkage of the yarns. With this type of weave, you can use finer and softer yarns to produce the best quality bedding. We spend so much time in bed, having the best quality and comfort while you sleep is more important than you think, in deep sleep the sheets will keep you dry and cool and feeling calm and rested.The carbon footprint of a ParcelShop delivery has only 10%* of the CO2 emissions of a parcel delivered to your door.
