Percale Cotton Fitted Sheets, Super Soft!
A percale cotton fitted sheet is made from the finest and softest quality cotton. A fabric can only be called percale when a certain amount of threads per inch are incorporated into it. A special weaving technique is used for this. Percale cotton and satin cotton are very similar. However, percale cotton is less smooth (less shiny) than satin cotton. This is why some people prefer a percale cotton fitted sheet over a satin cotton fitted sheet.
All our percale fitted sheets are made from 100% cotton. This is to ensure the excellent moisture-regulating properties of the natural fibre! A characteristic of a natural fibre is that it breathes very well (ventilates and insulates) and regulates moisture excellently. With a percale cotton fitted sheet you can be sure that you will sleep dry and therefore peacefully (you sleep restlessly in a damp bed and often wake up).
A percale cotton fitted sheet offers good protection for your mattress. On average, a person loses half to 3/4 of a litre of moisture every night. With a good quality percale cotton fitted sheet or sheet, you prevent perspiration from entering your mattress. Perspiration has a destructive effect on the core of your mattress. With the use of a percale cotton fitted sheet your mattress will last much longer.

What is percale cotton?
Percale cotton is essentially made from cotton, but it is woven using a so-called one-over-one weave. This means the threads are woven more closely together than with regular cotton, giving it a beautiful matte finish. Percale cotton is somewhat prone to creasing, but many people actually feel this suits the look of percale cotton. Percale cotton is also easy to iron, so it fully depends on your personal preference.
Besides the matte look, a percale cotton fitted sheet is a soft fabric with a cool and crisp feel to the touch. Percale cotton is an extremely strong and durable material that gets better with every wash. The fabric shares the excellent qualities of cotton: it is airy and breathable, and it also has high moisture absorption. This makes percale cotton ideal for summer or for people who get warm quickly while sleeping.
Wonderfully soft sleep with a percale cotton fitted sheet
A percale cotton fitted sheet is a pleasant, soft fabric thanks to the weaving method. Percale cotton has a high thread density, expressed as the TC value. This means thread count and refers to how many threads per square inch are used in the fabric. The higher the TC value, the softer the fabric feels. Percale cotton has a TC value of at least 200, which means percale cotton feels wonderfully soft.
In addition to its soft touch, a percale cotton fitted sheet also has a pleasantly cooling effect. This can be especially nice during warm summer nights, but a percale cotton fitted sheet also offers plenty of comfort throughout the rest of the year. With a percale cotton fitted sheet , you can be sure of a soft and comfortable night’s sleep.
The right size for a percale cotton fitted sheet
For a fitted sheet made of percale cotton, or any other material from Weids Wonen & Slapen, to fit properly, it is important to know the exact mattress and bed size before purchasing a fitted sheet. There is nothing more annoying than waking up at night with a big crease in your back because the fitted sheet does not fit your mattress properly and starts to roll up. A quality percale cotton fitted sheet in the right size ensures a wonderfully comfortable and neatly made bed throughout the night
Please note: A percale cotton fitted sheet is also available with a corner depth suitable for box spring beds. In that case, the corner depth is increased from 30 cm to 35 cm, so it also fits well in height on your box spring mattress or bed.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between percale and cotton?
Both materials are made from exactly the same fibre, but because the yarns are woven differently, there is a noticeable and visible difference. Percale cotton can be seen as the more luxurious version of cotton, with percale cotton sleeping smoother, softer and more comfortably than regular cotton. Percale cotton is also 100% cotton and shares all the strong qualities of cotton, including high moisture absorption and excellent ventilation.
Is a percale cotton fitted sheet warm?
A percale cotton fitted sheet is an excellent choice for both cold and warm sleepers. Percale cotton ventilates extremely well, making it a suitable and popular choice even during warm summer nights. The strong ventilating and moisture-absorbing properties of percale cotton help prevent the discomfort of excessive perspiration. Because the material is easy to wash, a percale cotton fitted sheet provides a hygienic solution all year round.
