Sateen vs Percale 🛏️

Sateen vs Percale 🛏️

Sateen or percale, that's the question.

Among our most popular collections are the sateen and percale bed linen, both with a 400 thread count and made in Portugal from 100 per cent long-fibre cotton. These materials are known for offering a sophisticated and cosy feel, but each has unique characteristics.

What are their similarities, their differences and, above all, how can you choose the best one for you? Here you'll find the answers to all your questions.


Sateen 400 TC: warmth and softness for cosy nights
Our sateen bed linen is perfect for those who love to snuggle up in a warm and cosy bed. The sateen pieces are made from 100% long-fibre cotton, which gives them an incomparable softness and luxurious texture, with a very subtle silky finish that adds a delicate sheen to your bed linen. As well as being extremely comfortable, satin is also known for its ability to retain heat, making it ideal for colder nights. The delicate open stitch at the hem of the fabric adds a touch of elegance and timelessness to the collection.

Percale 400 TC: freshness and lightness for peaceful nights
For those who are more fans of cool nights or find themselves shunning sheets because of the heat, percale is the most suitable option. Like sateen, percale is made from 100 per cent long-fibre cotton, but its construction results in a light and breathable fabric, ideal for warmer climates or for those who prefer a cool feeling in bed. The 400-thread-count percale has a very gentle touch and a light texture, with a matt finish that adds a minimalist charm to any bedroom. The double running stitch present in the percale pieces adds a sophisticated detail while reinforcing the structure of the fabric, contributing to its durability and resistance.

How do you choose the perfect bed linen for you?
The sateen and percale collections are available in white and in various sizes, making it very easy to incorporate them into any style of decoration. They include an adjustable sheet, top sheet, duvet cover and pillowcases, so you can create a complete and harmonious sleeping environment. The choice between sateen and percale depends mainly on your personal tastes and your needs for a good night's sleep. If what you value most is feeling cosy and having warm nights, sateen is the best choice for you because of its ability to retain heat. If you value cooler, more comfortable nights, especially in summer, percale will be your perfect ally because it's so light and breathable.


Whichever you choose, both collections offer an unbeatable combination of comfort, elegance and durability, guaranteeing restful nights' sleep and a bed that's always inviting.
