For a truly restorative and sumptuously soft sleep, the quality of your bedding is paramount. Bonsoirs washed percale bed linen is perfect for peaceful slumber, enveloping you in a soft and breathable fabric.
What exactly is washed percale?
This bed linen is woven from 100% cotton. But how does it differ from classic percale? It's a cotton percale that undergoes an additional washing stage to enhance its softness even further. This makes it a natural material, free from harmful substances that could irritate the skin or pollute the environment.
For an optimal finish, washed percale features a tight weave of 80 threads/cm², giving it a durability that will ensure your bed linen lasts for years. This material also lends your bed an effortlessly relaxed yet high-end appearance. Thus, you don't need to iron your washed percale sheets for them to make an impression! This lightweight material is ideal for warm spring and summer nights, as it is both light and breathable.
It also dries very quickly, making maintenance even easier.
How to care for your washed percale sheets?
To ensure your washed percale sheets retain their softness and colour, here are a few rules to follow. Always wash them with sheets of the same shade and material. Avoid putting clothes with zips or fasteners in the washing machine, as these could damage the fabric. Harsh powder detergents tend to dull washed percale sheets.
It's better to choose a mild, liquid detergent and add a capful of fabric softener. The ideal washing temperature is 40°C with moderate spin (no more than 800 rpm). How often should you wash your washed percale sheets? Once a week is a good rhythm. To dry them, hang them outdoors. To speed up the process, you can put them in the tumble dryer, but at a moderate temperature, and then allow them to air dry completely. As for ironing, it's unnecessary for washed percale sheets, one of their charms being their slightly crinkled appearance.
This saves you time and keeps your sheets looking impeccable for longer.
Why choose washed percale sheets?
Washed percale is a high-end material that ensures thermal regulation throughout the warm season. With its easy care, it is the perfect ally for an effortlessly elegant bed that offers optimal comfort.
And to move away from traditional solid colours, why not opt for patterns for an extra decorative touch? Small flowers, stripes, or even solid motifs will bring a revitalising air to the bedroom! With its impeccable finishes and high-quality natural material, crafted in Portugal, your washed percale bed linen will immediately give you the impression of sleeping in hotel-grade bedding.
For optimal comfort and a luxurious look, be sure to choose a sheet set that matches the dimensions of your mattress and pillows.
