COTTON PERCALE OR SATIN?
If you are wondering the difference between Cotton, Percale and Satin here is the answer:
COTTON SATIN : It is distinguished by its weave in which the warp prevails over the weft, creating a smooth and shiny surface on one side and a softer one on the other. This characteristic gives the satin a silky and luxurious feel. Satin is often preferred for its elegance and its ability to give a feeling of freshness, although it can be less breathable than percale.
COTTON : This is the basic material from which both sateen and percale are made. Simple cotton offers a balance of softness, breathability, and durability. Cotton sheets are often less expensive than sateen and percale, but can be a good choice for those looking for a versatile and comfortable product.
PERCALE: is a type of cotton in which the warp and weft are woven evenly, creating a tighter weave than plain cotton. This characteristic gives percale greater breathability, making it an ideal choice for sheets, especially in the summer. Percale is known for its freshness, its resistance and its ability to not be excessively slippery.
In summary:
Satin: Elegant, luxurious, silky, may be less breathable.
Percale: Fresh, breathable, durable, not excessively slippery.
Cotton: Versatile, comfortable, balanced between price and quality.
