Which is the ideal choice for you: Sateen or Percale?

Sometimes, choosing the ideal sheets can feel like a world of possibilities. Among the most popular materials, sateen and percale stand out for their softness, freshness, and durability. Both are made from high-quality cotton, but each offers a different experience for your nights.

Today we'll tell you how they feel, how they work, and which one best suits your sleeping style.

Sateen: enveloping softness with a silky touch

Sateen is characterized by its denser weave and slightly shiny finish reminiscent of silk.

It is perfect if you are looking for:

•    A soft and delicate feel against the skin.

•    An elegant drape and silky texture.

•    Greater warmth and thermal confort.

•    Ideal for those who enjoy a warm and cozy night's sleep.

Its structure makes it a fabric that hugs, envelops, and adds a touch of luxury to the bedroom.

Percale: light freshness for cooler nights

Percale is synonymous with freshness and matte softness. Its fabric is lighter and cleaner looking, perfect for those who prefer to sleep in a cool environment.

Notable for:

•    Cool and light feel.

•    Matte finish and soft yet firm touch.

•    Excellent air circulation.

•    Ideal for warm climates or people who perspire while sleeping.

Percale is cool, breathable, and naturally relaxing.

How do they really differ?

• Feel: sateen = silky / percale = cool.

• Finish: sateen = smooth and shiny / percale = matte and clean.

• Temperature: sateen is warmer / percale is more breathable.

• Aesthetics: sateen is more luxurious and fluid / percale is more minimalist and lightweight.

There is no best option: there is the ideal option for you.
