What is percale?

Many associates sleeping in percale with the coveted luxury hotel feeling; smooth, cool, and crisp. But what is percale, and is it suitable for sleeping in throughout the year? Here is everything you need to know about this wonderful quality.

Percale fabric is intricately woven with one thread over and one under, employing a technique known as a one-by-one weave, resulting in a smooth, crisp and resilient structure. To earn the designation of percale, the fabric must boast a high thread count, typically no less than 200 threads per square inch.
