One of the standout features of percale cotton sheets is their breathability. The tightly woven structure allows air to circulate freely, regulating body temperature and preventing overheating, a characteristic that is highly valued by sleepers. They also have a slightly matte finish, in contrast to the lustrous sheen of sateen weaves, giving them a more understated elegance.
Cons: The downside lies in cotton’s poor ability to resist wrinkling and shrinking unless fabric pre-shrinking was done. Durability in the long-term is another disadvantage as cotton fibers tend to fray after 5-7 years of use. More importantly, ethical issues with cotton production make other people turn to sustainable alternatives like TENCEL™ and bamboo.
