Sateen Vs. Percale? Choose The Right Sheets For Your Hotel
Sateen Vs. Percale Or Percale Vs. Sateen
Qualities of Percale
Percale is the crisp, durable plain weave fabric typically used for sheets, with a thread count of at least 180. A traditional one-yarn-over and one-yarn-under weave, percale typically features a matte finish and a crisp, cool feel that improves with every wash. Its superior durability means it will not pill over time.
Qualities of Sateen
Sateen is the closest thing you can get to satin—without the high cost and fragile nature of the fabric. The one-yarn-under and three-yarn-over weave exposes more thread surface, giving sateen a silky feel and luxurious sheen.
Naturally wrinkle-resistant, sateen is tightly woven and therefore typically heavier in weight than percale. Sateen’s cotton cloth is made with a satin weave.
