Dreaming of soft, cool, and restorative nights? Cotton percale is one of the most popular materials for high-end bed linen. At Alba Matelas, we know that the quality of your sheets directly influences the quality of your sleep. Discover why cotton percale is the ideal choice.

What is cotton percale?

Cotton percale is a tight, smooth fabric made from long-staple combed cotton with a thread count of at least 80 threads/cm². This precise weave provides:

• A soft and light texture

• Great resistance over time

• A natural feeling of freshness

Unlike cotton sateen, percale has a matte appearance and stays cool even on the hottest nights. To discover all our sheet materials, visit our Alba Sheets and Bed Linen page soon.
