Why we love percale bedding

Our percale bedding is woven in a classic one-over-one-under pattern, creating a smooth, lightweight Egyptian cotton fabric with a lovely fresh and crisp hotel-bed feel. Durable and designed to last, percale sheets, duvet covers and pillowcases become softer with every wash. Percale is perfect for hotter nights and warm sleepers.

Our 100% Egyptian cotton bedding comes with the authentic Egyptian cotton trademark so you can be sure that it really is pure Egyptian cotton.

The long-staple Egyptian cotton combined with the simple, smooth percale weave results in crisp, cool and beautifully breathable bedding.

Unlike other cotton bed linens, Egyptian cotton becomes more comfortable with every sleep and every wash. Hello sweet dreams...

Frequently asked questions

View all

We recommend choosing bed sheets made from natural materials if you sweat at night. 100% cotton sheets or 100% linen sheets will help keep you cool at night as they are both temperature regulating and sweat wicking. See our guide to The best bedding for night sweats.

Scooms fitted sheets come with a handy feet label so you can easily tell which way your sheet goes on the bed. No more confusing twisting and turning when you make the bed. Read our guide to Flat sheets vs fitted sheets.

A depth of 30cm to 40cm should fit most modern mattresses and toppers securely without slipping off. We make our Scooms Egyptian cotton fitted sheets in two depths: standard up to 30cm and deep up to 40cm. Check our bedding size guide to see what size you need or find out more in our Deep fitted sheet guide.

If you look after your Egyptian cotton fitted sheet carefully, it should last for 5–7 years or longer. The long-staple fibres of Egyptian cotton resist thinning and fraying over time. See our care tips: How often should you change bed sheets?

Yes, we think thread count is one of the important factors to consider when buying a cotton fitted sheet along with the quality of the cotton threads used and the finishing process. We think a thread count of 400-600 is ideal for a fitted sheet - soft enough for comfort, but durable enough to resist wear from nightly use. The Scooms Egyptian cotton fitted sheet comes in 600 thread count. Read more about Thread count.
