Percale vs Sateen Organic Cotton Sheets

Percale and sateen describe weave structures, so two organic-cotton sheet sets can feel quite different even when the fiber is similar.

Percale

Percale is generally associated with a crisp, matte hand and straightforward weave.

Sateen

Sateen is generally smoother and more lustrous because of its weave structure.

Connect the choice to the full bed

If you use a waterproof protector underneath, the sheet weave is still only one part of how warm, smooth or crisp the bed feels.
