What is cotton percale?
Jump to: navigation, searchPercale is a closely woven plain-weave fabric often used for bed linens. The term describes the weave of the fabric, not its content, so percale can be a 50/50 blend of cotton and polyester, 100% cotton, or a blend of other fabrics in any ratio. [1] A percale weave has a thread count of about 200 or higher, and is noticeably tighter than the standard type of weave used for bed-sheets. It has medium weight, is firm and smooth with no gloss, and warps and washes very well. It is made from both carded and combed yarns. Percale fabrics are made in both solid colors and printed patterns. The finish of the fabric is independent of its weave, so it can be either printed or unprinted. Percale was originally imported from India in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries [2], then manufactured in France. [3] The word may originate from the Persian pargālah, 'rag', [4], although the Oxford English Dictionary (Dec. 2005) has traced it only as far as 18th-century French.

Are percale cotton sheets cooler to sleep on than cotton sateen sheets?
yes Typically, yes. Take the thread count into consideration though. A higher thread count (say 500+) means a tighter weave, and therefore, less air can pass through the fabric. This will be smooth to the touch, but warmer. A lower thread count will have more "breathing room" and will keep you cooler. 300 still feels nice to the touch, but will not be as warm.
