When it comes to bedding, fabric matters. At Kiyko Home, we chose 100% cotton percale for its timeless feel and breathable quality—but what exactly is percale?

What Is Percale?

Percale refers to the weave of the fabric, not the fiber itself. It’s a simple, tight, one-over-one-under weave that creates a smooth, matte finish. Think of percale as crisp, cool, and lightweight.

Percale vs. Sateen

One of the most common questions is: What’s the difference between percale and sateen?

• Percale: breathable, crisp, matte finish, ideal for hot sleepers.

• Sateen: silkier, heavier, with a slight sheen—better for those who like warmth and drape.

At Kiyko, we love percale for its breathability and longevity. It’s designed to get softer with every wash without losing structure, and has that signature crisp feel.

The Perfect Thread Count

Percale shines between 200–400 thread count, where the weave remains breathable yet durable. Our sheets are crafted at 310 thread count, which we believe is the sweet spot for softness, crispness, comfort and luxury.

Why We Chose Percale

We wanted bedding that felt timeless, youthful, and easy to live with. Percale delivers all of that... effortless comfort, cool nights, and the kind of bedding you’ll reach for year after year.
