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...

Breathable bed linen perfect for smooth cool comfort.

Frequently asked questions

View all

Our Scooms Egyptian cotton sateen and percale duvet covers, sheets and pillowcases are expertly woven, sewn and finished in Portugal by a fourth generation family-owned business. Our lovely family suppliers use the most advanced textile technology to manage the entire production process. Read more in Our Impact.

Percale cotton feels smooth, crisp and cool to the touch, similar to the feeling of freshly laundered hotel bedding. Over time, the percale cotton fabric relaxes and becomes increasingly soft without losing its breathable structure. Our percale duvet covers come in a luxurious 400 thread count Egyptian cotton.

Yes, percale cotton is slightly cooler than sateen cotton because its plain weave allows more air to circulate through the fabric. If you tend to sleep hot or prefer a crisper feel to your bedding, percale cotton is usually the better choice.

Yes, 400 thread count percale bedding made from long-staple cotton, like Egyptian cotton, is considered premium quality. The 400 thread count provides a smoother feel and more durability to duvet covers and sheets than lower thread counts while remaining breathable and crisp.
