If you love your sheets to feel crisp like a fresh pressed shirt, chances are
you love the weave cell that is used to construct them. It is called
the Percale Weave and it is one of two weave styles used to make sheets.
This weave cell will leave your sheets looking matte and feeling
very crisp. What's up world? It's Tony. And for this video, I've got
a list of my six favorite sheets that feature the percale weave.
Remember, you can find written reviews for all of these sheets over
mattressclarity.com. And if you want to get a set for yourself,
I'm here to help. I've got some coupons for you in the description box below.
Let's get started.
Our Editor's pick is said to be the internet's favorite set of sheets,
and I think I agree with that tagline. It's Brooklinen Classic Core Set.
The Brooklinen Classic set is made from 100%
organic cotton that has been OEKO Tex certified. This means
that the cotton has been grown, processed and produced without harmful
chemicals or toxins. These sheets do feature that percale weave, and believe
me when I tell you they feel very crisp. So if that's what you love
about sheets, these are ones to check out. Brooklinen will sell these sheets
in white, black and black and white color and design options.
But the best thing about the color options is that they've got limited design,
color and designs to pick from year round. My favorite thing
about these sheets though, is that they've got long and short labels in the
fitted sheet. So if you're anything like me, you will get that fitted sheet on
the bed the first time. The Brooklinen Classic set has a thread count
of 270. With Percale weave sheets, you're going to see lower thread
counts because that's going to have tons of room for air to flow through your
sheets. Coupled with Cotton's natural breathability, these are going to
be a great option for hot sleepers out there.
If you're anything like me, then when you're burning up, you just don't sleep
that night. Luckily, Casper has a Percale set of sheets that are lightweight
and super breathable. The Casper Percale Sheets are made from 100% organic
cotton and they have a thread count of 300. So air is going to be
able to flow through these sheets really easily. Coupled with Cotton's natural
breathability, these are a great cooling set of sheets.
Casper will sell this set in ten different colors and they'll pick certain
colors to discount throughout the year. So be on the lookout for a great deal.
The fitted sheets can fit mattress up to 18 inches tall when the average
mattress height is about eight to 14 inches. So that fitted sheet is
staying on and those corners are not popping up. You have 30 days to
test them out and if you keep them, you get a one year warranty.
If you're looking for a high quality set of percale sheets, then the Tuft and
Needle Percale Sheets are a good option. They're made from 100% supima
cotton, which has grown to be more durable and a bit softer than traditional
cotton. It's very breathable and it even has some moisture wicking properties.
All this to say it's another win for hot sleepers out there. Tuft & Needle sells
the sheets in a few different neutral shades. You get 100 nights to test them
out, and if you keep them, you get a two year warranty. So these sheets
should last at least that long.
One other type of cotton you'll see on the market is Egyptian cotton.
Different growing conditions allow the cotton grown in Egypt to be much
more durable and a little bit softer. And our favorite set of Egyptian
cotton sheets that use the percale weave are the Parachute percale sheets.
These sheets are going to feel much more lightweight and a little bit softer
than some of the other cotton sheets on this list because of that Egyptian
cotton. It's also going to be very durable material, so they should last you a
long time as well. The fitted sheet can fit mattress up to 16
inches tall. You've got nine neutral shades to pick from,
and if you buy them, you get 69 to test them out. And if you
keep them, you get a three year warranty. So they should last that long with
good care.
If you're a resident of the USA, then chances are you love
a homegrown, homemade product. Well, look no further than
American Blossom Linens sheets. They make the sheets right
here in the US. These sheets are made from 100% organic West Texas
cotton, and it is constructed into that per kilweed with a custom thread
count of 180. This is going to make them super breathable and very cooling.
They are going to feel very crisp, but American Blossom says that they'll get
softer with more use, and every time you wash them. These are an organic
set of sheets, too. American Blossom does not treat its sheets with
chemicals or dyes, meaning you only have two colors to pick from,
white or natural. The best thing about these sheets, though, is that they have
American Blossom's happiness guarantee, meaning you get two whole
years to try these sheets out before you decide to keep them. That is one
of the longest trial periods I have seen for a set of sheets.
If you're looking to splurge, then our favorite luxury percale sheets are
the Boll & Branch Percale Hemmed sheets. They're made from
100% organic cotton that has also been GOTO Tek certified.
This is the gold standard for calling something an organic product.
The cotton has been spun, which will give these sheets a very soft feel,
but they are constructed with a proprietary Bowen
branch cooling percale weave, so these are going to be a great option for hot
sleepers. When you couple that with Cotton's natural breathability,
you've got seven initial shades to pick from if you want a little bit of
color variety. But since these are a luxury pick they're going to
cost a pretty Penny. But with good care. These shades should last you at least
two years.
I've taken the time to gather some of the most frequently asked questions I've
seen about percale sheets. Let's answer them. First question is
percale better than sateen weave? So the sateen is
the other weave style used to construct sheets. If you think about it, it
sounds like satin so that's what those sheets are going to feel like.
Percale sheets will feel much crisper and will often be more breathable than
sateen sheets. So ultimately it just boils down to
personal preference here. There's no one that's better than the other. If you
like a crisp breathable set of sheets, go with the percale
sheets. If you like something that feels much softer and satin like, go with
sateen weave. Second question, Are percale sheets good
for hot sleepers? They are! Percale weave sheets
are constructed with tons of room for airflow so you'll often see
lower thread counts on these sheets too. This combination of
things means it's going to be great for breathability. You're definitely going
to feel air flow through these sheets and you'll stay cool at night.
Final question are 100% cotton percale sheets good?
If you noticed, all of the sheets on this list were made
for cotton so the short answer is yes. But to further
explain cotton has a naturally breathable quality to
it. So coupled with this construction which is more durable,
cotton percale sheets will last you a long time and you'll sleep cool with them
too. There you have it. Our list of the best sheets that
feature the percale weave. Thanks for sticking around and if you made
