Percale and sateen are both made from cotton, but they feel completely different against the skin. We break down which to choose for the hot season.
Percale
A plain weave, matte texture, and maximum breathability — the best choice for hot climates and summer.
Sateen
Smoother and heavier, with a subtle sheen — comfortable year-round, though lighter 200–300 TC densities win out in summer.
