You may see the terms "cotton percale" and "percale," but both mean the same thing. Percale refers to a criss-cross style of cotton weave that feels lightweight; that's why percale sheets are ideal for hot sleepers and summertime. Percale is a bit more expensive than some other weaves, but people who love percale will sleep on nothing else. Try it for yourself with the Nestwell Cotton Percale 400-Thread-Count Queen Fitted Sheet ($55) and Nestwell Cotton Percale 400-Thread-Count Queen Flat Sheet ($55).
