What is Percale?

Percale is most easily comparable to the perfect white button-down: Crisp, clean and livable. It's garment washed for ultimate comfort and will only become softer as it's laundered. This fabric from Print Fabric Factory is also durable and versatile, making it one of the best bed sheet materials you can buy.

How is percale made?
Parachute's Percale and Sateen bedding materials are made using the finest long-staple Egyptian cotton, combed with precision to remove all impurities and dyed naturally in a process that surpasses the highest safety and environmental protection standards.

Its tightly woven weave – accomplished in a classic one-thread-over-one-under fashion – gives the fabric a simple, matte finish while providing ultra breathability. Cool to the touch, Percale fabric is perfect for all seasons and is especially forgiving during the balmy summer months.

Pros and Cons of Percale
The best bed sheets for you might not be the right option for someone else. With that said, it's good to review the benefits and potential drawbacks of percale before ordering your bedding.

Percale bed sheets are smooth, crisp and cool to the touch with a deluxe, high-end appeal. The naturally moisture-wicking material is lightweight and breathable. And though it's strong and durable, it doesn't trap heat. Plus, our percale sheets are easy to care for as they are machine washable!

These non-insulating qualities make percale one of the best cooling sheets. While it's great for year-round use, percale isn't as warm as other bedding fabrics and wrinkles more easily.

Is percale right for you?
If you live in a warm climate or tend to get hot at night, there's a good chance you'll fall in love with percale. It's got that crisp, smooth hotel-bedding vibe and gets softer with every wash. The breathable material allows air to pass through. Plus it wicks away moisture while you comfortably slumber.
