Percale bed linen: advantages and how to choose

Business owners in the hospitality business are constantly faced with increasingly refined demands from customers. All customers seek far more than just a stay; they enjoy having a real experience. Therefore, a comfortable bed, with soft and inviting sheets, is without a doubt a must for an excellent service. Find out here what the advantages of Percale bed linen are and how to select it.

What is percale?

Percale is a material sourced from a weaving technique that’s based on the crossing of 2 sets of threads – usually cotton – arranged horizontally (weft) and vertically (warp). The end product is a long-lasting, soft and elegant fabric.

Percale bed linen is ideal for warmer nights thanks to the material’s coolness and softness. Sheets made with this material have another advantage that is icing on the cake for hotel managers. This advantage is the fact that the linen gets softer and softer with each wash, exactly what a hospitality expert needs.

However, don’t forget to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations to the letter, as that is the only way to keep the softness and quality of the material.

Learn what you must keep in mind when you buy Percale bed linen.

The amount of threads woven per inch has a strong impact on the softness, durability and flexibility of the linen. Meaning: the higher the thread number, the softner the linen.

Note: Always be aware that, to consider a material as being Percale, it needs to have at least 180 threads.

However, when it comes to choosing your linen, study the weaving and thread treatment techniques as well as cotton origin. These aspects also influence the quality of the end result and, as such, thread number isn’t the only factor to keep in mind.
