Advantages of cotton percale.
There's nothing worse than tossing and turning at night in an uncomfortably warm bed, especially when it's still too cold to forego blankets altogether. And while the cold side of your pillow provides a welcome reprieve, it's just a cold, fleeting drop in the pan. If you find yourself waking up feeling sweaty at night - whether it's hot weather or you're naturally warm when you sleep - it may be time to upgrade to a set of percale sheets.
Percale is a fine, tightly woven fabric known for its matte finish and a cool and crisp feel. It is created using a plain weave (A basic style where the weave changes under and over the warp), which makes it exceptionally light and breathable. As a result, percale bedding is a natural choice for "hot sleepers" and the summer months. Simply put, if you're looking for bedding that combines durability with a comfortable, cool sleeping experience, percale products should be at the top of your list.
Advantages of Sateen
It is almost impossible to enjoy a night's sleep when you are constantly attacked by the cold. Heated blankets and seven layers of socks can alleviate this problem for a while…until they overwhelm you with warmth and you throw them away and sit right back where you started. In any case, if you are regularly bothered by cool temperatures at night, it is time to look at sateen bedding.
Sateen is a luxurious fabric that is incredibly smooth, warm and soft. The sateen is made with satin weave, which makes it durable, glossy and relatively thick. As you might expect, "cold sleepers" and people living in cooler parts of the world love sateen bedding thanks to the phenomenal warmth and softness it has. We highly recommend checking out sateen products if you're looking for bedding that fuses warmth with an attractive softness.
