The 8 Best Percale Sheets, Tested and Reviewed

"Not too long ago, I wrote a review of all of the Quince bedding I own and I want to stress that I bought every single piece I reviewed. The brand did not send them to me in the hopes that I would have nice things to say," Associate Shopping Editor Jessica Cherner insists. "The percale sheets were actually my first purchase and, as expected, I love them. I think percale is usually a safe choice if you aren't sure what to get because they are the most like hotel sheets: they're a bit thick and very crisp, but they're not heavy. You won't feel like you're sleeping under a weighted blanket," she adds. While these aren't particularly cooling, they won't make you feel hot. "What I love most about these sheets, though, is the price. As you'll find from most of the other items on this list, luxury sheets are not cheap, but these are under $100 for an entire set! That's Quince's whole thing: The brand sells luxuriously crafted goods with high-quality materials at a fraction of what similar brands are."

Any loyal House Beautiful fan know that we are big fans of Saatva. In fact, our Deputy Digital Editor Katelyn Lunders would even go so far as to say that the famed Rx mattress has fixed her back pain, and Creative Director Nicolas Neubeck said that the brand's Classic mattress quite literally saved him from a sleep divorce. So, it should come as no surprise that the Saatva sheets are perfect, high-quality complement to the mattresses. They're made from long-staple cotton that gets softer with each wash, so if you like that super-smooth, breathable feeling while you sleep, you basically need these sheets. "I have spent years and thousands of dollars searching for the exact perfect sheets. Turns out you can't beat classic cotton with a percale weave," one reviewer said. "These Saatva sheets are just lovely. At long last, I have found the perfect sheets. They're velvety soft after a few washings, but also crisp and have the perfect mattress fit, no pilling, and nearly wrinkle free. I am extraordinary pleased with this product and so relieved that my search is over."

If you're looking to add a set of percale sheets to your linen closet, but you don't want to spend a whole lot, these are the sheets for you. At just $45 for a queen set that includes a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and two pillowcases, this is a good basic set that will meet all of your percale-specific needs. This one also comes in 13 colors, which means there is some hue to pair well with your pre-existing palette. One happy reviewer said, "These are nearly perfect! I stayed in an Airbnb and this was the brand they used and I loved them. I love the cotton. It's very soft and seems to be high quality. And I love the crisp sound they have. Overall, I'm impressed and will be buying more from this brand."

The word "crinkled" may be throwing you off, but it's not scratchy or rough on the skin. Rather, the "crinkle" refers to the texture, which looks like linen but feels like classic percale. These ones are relaxed, naturally breathable, and super soft. If you've heard about these and are curious as to what makes them so soft, we'll clue you in: They're finished with gentle 100 percent plant-based softener. One reviewer said, "These are my favorite sheets. They're cool, soft, and comfortable"

It should hardly come as a shock that one of the internet's most beloved bedding brands has an incredible set of percale sheets. They're made with 100 percent organic cotton and feature that breathable quality percale weaves are famous for, but they're still plenty crisp. One reviewer said, "These are the best of all the sheets. They're crisp, cooling, and the fitted sheet stays in place. I love them and tell all my friends how great they are compared to others! Worth the money." Well, it doesn't get more promising than that.

Parachute has been selling high-quality sheets since its inception in 2014, and it is showing no signs of slowing down. Though the brand carries everything from flannel to linen options, the best-selling ones are the percale, which isn't surprising because percale is a great find for someone who may not know what they like. It's basically fail-proof. The Parachute percale sheets are made in Portugal from 100 percent premium long-staple Egyptian cotton, making them soft, breathable, and lightweight. One reviewer said, "This is my second purchase of these sheets. I purchased several sets about a year ago for our vacation home. They wash well and are soft to sleep on. I love them."
