Question 1

What sizes do percale pillowcases come in?

Accepted Answer

Standard (sized to fit Standard and Queen pillows, 20" × 30") and King (20" × 36"). Sold in pairs. Each product page lists exact dimensions.

Question 2

What does percale weave feel like?

Accepted Answer

Percale is a one-over, one-under weave with a crisp, cool, lightly textured hand — like a freshly pressed shirt. Air moves through the weave easily, which is why percale sleeps cooler than denser weaves like sateen. The matte finish develops a soft-washed feel after a few wash cycles.

Question 3

Are these percale pieces organic cotton?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Quince percale uses GOTS-certified organic cotton — grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers and audited at every stage from farm to finished textile. The certification chain means the cotton on your bed has fewer residual chemicals than conventional cotton.

Question 4

Should I choose percale or sateen?

Accepted Answer

Percale sleeps cooler and breathes more; sateen feels softer and silkier and traps a little more warmth. Hot sleepers usually prefer percale; cold sleepers and shoppers who prioritize a silky drape usually prefer sateen. Percale runs crisp; sateen runs smooth. Both wash and wear well over time.

Question 5

How should I wash percale bedding?

Accepted Answer

Machine wash cold or warm on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Skip fabric softener — it coats the cotton fibers and reduces breathability. Tumble dry on low. Long-staple cotton percale softens with use; the crisp hand-feel gives way to a soft-washed feel after a few cycles.

Question 6

What does OEKO-TEX certified mean for percale bedding?

Accepted Answer

OEKO-TEX Standard 100 is a third-party certification confirming the textile has been tested for harmful substances — including residual chemicals from dyes, finishes, and processing — and meets limits well below standard regulatory thresholds. It is the most widely recognized chemical-safety certification for bedding.
