Is percale better than sateen for hot sleepers?

Percale is a plain weave with a crisp, matte, breathable feel, which most hot sleepers prefer. Sateen is smoother and heavier and tends to sleep warmer.

Does this set include a duvet cover?

It is listed as a two-piece set, so check the piece list for your size before buying. A duvet cover is not part of the two pieces.

Will the sheets soften over time?

Yes. Cotton percale typically softens with repeated washing, though it stays crisp rather than becoming silky.

What thread count is it?

270 thread count cotton percale, a normal weight for this weave.

Is $279.84 a good price?

Only one store lists it new at $279.84 as of November 5, 2026, so there is no competing new price to compare against. Watch for Brooklinen's own seasonal sales if you can wait.

What sizes and colors are available?

Twin, Twin XL, Queen and King, in white and blue, with solid, stripe and print patterns.

Our take on the Brooklinen Classic Percale Dreamweave Starter Bundle

A two-piece starter set of Brooklinen's Classic Percale bedding in 270 thread count cotton, sold in Twin through King sizes and in white, blue, solid, stripe and print styles. Percale is the crisp, matte, cool-to-the-touch weave, so this is aimed at hot sleepers and anyone who likes hotel-style sheets rather than a silky sateen feel. The best new price is $279.84 at Brooklinen as of November 5, 2026, and only one store lists it new, so there is little cross-store competition to shop on price.
