Why luxury hotels choose percale cotton
Percale is a weaving technique widely used for high-quality cotton with a high thread count. A percale weave is characterised by its matte appearance, durable quality and comfortable feel.
Discover why hotels choose percale bed linen made from Egyptian cotton and why it is becoming increasingly popular at home too. Also find out which bed linen suits you best.

Matte & crisp touch
The first thing you notice about percale is its matte appearance. A percale weave gives a refined, calm look reminiscent of a neatly made hotel bed.
As a result, the bed linen feels fresh, light and pleasantly crisp. That characteristic crisp touch is exactly what many people recognise from a stay in a luxury hotel.

Perfect for hot sleepers
Thanks to the fine weave, air can circulate easily, so heat is carried away more quickly. This keeps percale feeling fresh, even on warm nights.
For hot sleepers or bedrooms that warm up quickly, percale is therefore often the ideal choice.

Exceptional hotel quality
Luxury hotels choose percale not only for its comfort, but also for its long-term quality.
Percale becomes softer with every wash and stays beautiful for years. This means it withstands long-term use without compromising on comfort or appearance.

Percale & Egyptian cotton
Not all percale is the same: its quality is largely determined by the cotton fibre.
DOUXE chooses only 100% Egyptian cotton for its extra-long fibres. This creates a stronger thread and a longer lifespan. Exactly the comfort and quality that five-star hotels offer.
