Feel of Material
The 50/50 cotton/polyester blend percale sheets combine the refreshing crispness of percale with the practical benefits of a blended fabric. They are well-suited for those seeking a balance between the classic feel of cotton percale and the maintenance ease, and durability of polyester.
How the Sheets Will Feel
-
Soft: These cotton blend sheets are soft, smooth, and gentle on the skin with the polyester lending additional smoothness.
-
Crisp: The percale weave is known for its crispness. In this blend, it remains crisp, but maybe slightly less so than 100% cotton percale.
-
Smooth: The combination of cotton softness and the inherent smoothness of polyester results in a pleasantly smooth finish.
-
Supple: The sheets drape nicely over the body, merging the best qualities of both cotton and polyester.
The Look of the Sheets on Your Bed
-
Matte with a hint of sheen: While percale typically has a matte finish, the polyester in the blend can impart a very slight sheen or glow.
About the Fabric
-
Cool to moderately warm to the touch: The cotton component offers a cool initial feel, but polyester can moderate this, making the sheets feel a bit warmer than pure cotton percale.
-
Breathable: While the cotton in the blend allows for breathability, the polyester can slightly reduce this quality, making the sheets a tad less breathable than all-cotton percale.
-
Medium weight: The blend gives these sheets a more substantial feel than pure cotton percale, lending them a middle-ground weight.
-
Durable: Polyester's resilience, when combined with cotton, produces a sheet set that resists wear and can outlast pure cotton counterparts.
-
Wrinkle-resistant: A notable advantage of this blend in a percale weave is its resistance to wrinkles, thanks to the polyester component.
