At Los Encajeros we are famous for our crispy percale cotton and our soft and sumptuous sateen cotton sheets. The first thing you need to know is both are woven from 100% cotton. Both fabrics have the same composition. The difference between them is on their structure.
Percale sheets are plain in weave and characterized by a matte finish and crisp hand. Percale sheets are a bedroom must-have, especially during the hot summer months. Our high-end cotton percale linens are light and invigorating yet incredibly soft. Percale fabric is lighter in weight and more breathable making it perfect for summertime or warmer climates.
These classic sheets are lightweight and durable with a crisp finish. You may think because percale sheets have a tighter weave that they are also warmer. However, due to the less thick yard used, percale sheets will give you a cooler sleep experience. These breathable sheets will keep you cool all night long and will give style and class to your bed.
Sateen sheets are woven to create a silky smooth surface with a luminous sheen and is known for its luster and drape. Sateen is usually a little thicker and more tightly woven. It has a soft, inviting touch, perfect to snuggle into bed with during the cold winter months.
Sateen cotton sheets are very demanded for luxury hotels due to their shinny appearance.
If you like softness, sateen is the way to go. Sateen sheets have a heavier, smoother finish that boasts a silky feel and a slight sheen. This finish is luxurious and almost no ironing required.
From Los Encajeros we want to tell you both percale and sateen fabrics are dreamy qualities. We work with high quality fabrics and both will make you feel on a cloud. Your choice of sheets depends on personal preference for a honeyed touch and a luminous shine or a crisp hand on a matte surface.
