About Percale:
A high-quality weave, percale has a noticeably tighter weave that allows for a higher thread count which makes the sheets softer to the touch. Medium in weight, the fabric is matte with no additional sheen or shine but the texture is very smooth and able to resist warping and washes exceptionally well.
Care: Wash in cold water on the gentle cycle. Tumble dry low. Iron on warm as needed.

I ordered these sheets because I knew they would look wonderful with my Marimekko duvet cover. And they do. The only type of sheets that I will buy are percale, I love a smooth feel, and these are described as percale. But they feel very rough to me, much coarser than the duvet cover, and make moving around difficult. They are also huge and every morning I have to pull and re-tuck the bottom sheet. I have a thick mattress, but no topper on it, so maybe they would fit better with a topper.
