Is percale better than sateen for hot sleepers?

Percale is a plain, matte weave that breathes well and feels crisp and cool. Sateen is smoother and heavier, which suits people who sleep cold or want a silky feel.

Will it fit a mattress with a topper?

The pocket is listed as fitting up to about 17 inches deep, which covers most pillow-top and topper setups. Measure your mattress plus topper before buying.

Does it come with pillowcases?

No. This is a single fitted sheet only, so pillowcases and a flat sheet are bought separately.

How should I wash it?

Machine wash in warm water with like colors and tumble dry low. Skip fabric softener, which coats cotton fibers and reduces the crisp feel and absorbency.

Does it soften over time?

Yes. Cotton percale typically softens over the first several washes while keeping its crisp texture.

Is white hard to keep clean?

White shows stains, but it can be washed hot and oxygen-bleached, which most colored sheets cannot take.

Our take on the Color Sense 100% Cotton Percale Single Fitted Bedsheet Cool & Crisp Twin White

A single twin fitted sheet in 100% cotton with a percale weave, sold on its own rather than as a set. Percale is the crisp, matte, breathable weave people associate with hotel bedding, and it holds up to repeated washing better than sateen in most owners' experience. The deep pocket fits mattresses up to about 17 inches, which covers most pillow-tops. It suits anyone replacing one worn sheet or building a white bedding wardrobe, though shoppers wanting a full set or a soft, silky hand should look at sateen or a sheet set instead.
