Percale sheets (pronounced “per-kail”) are made with cotton. These have a plain weave — one yarn over, one yarn under — that creates a matte, crisp finish. These sheets get softer with each wash and are best for hot sleepers and warm weather. They aren’t wrinkle-resistant, so it’s best to remove them from the dryer immediately following the end of the cycle. 

Now that you have a better understanding of the different materials, as well as weave and knit styles, used to make sheets, let’s talk about how to decide what type of sheet is best for you. 

These sheets are normally flat and need to be tucked around the corners of the mattress to keep them in place during sleeping.
