Sateen or Percale, that is the question.

Among our most popular collections are our sateen and percale bed linen ranges, all with a 400 thread count and made in Portugal from 100% long-staple cotton.

All are known for offering a sophisticated and cosy feel, but each fabric has its own unique characteristics. What are their similarities, what sets them apart, and how do you choose the best one for you?

400-thread-count sateen: warmth and softness for cosy nights

Our sateen bed linen is perfect for those who love to snuggle up in a warm and inviting bed. Made from 100% long-staple cotton, our sateen pieces offer exceptional softness and a luxurious texture, with a subtle satin finish that adds a discreet sheen to your bed linen.

As well as being extremely comfortable, sateen is also known for its ability to retain warmth, making it ideal for colder nights.

Choose your sateen bed linen from the Sintra collection, with a hem-stitch finish; Évora sateen, with a simple finish; Foz sateen pillowcases, with a picot stitch finish; and Coimbra sateen pillowcases, with a double row cord hem finish.

400-thread-count percale: freshness and lightness for peaceful nights

For those who prefer cooler nights or find themselves escaping from the sheets because of the heat, percale is the ideal choice. Like our sateen, our percale is made from 100% long-staple cotton, but its construction results in a lightweight, breathable fabric, ideal for warmer climates or for those who prefer a cooler bed.

400-thread-count percale has a light, crisp texture and a matte finish that brings minimalist charm to any bedroom.

Choose your percale bed linen from the Porto collection, with double stitch finish; Cascais, with a shell stitch finish; Évora percale, with a simple finish; Foz percale pillowcases, with a picot stitch finish; and Coimbra percale pillowcases, with a double row cord hem finish.

How do you choose the perfect bed linen for you?

The choice between sateen and percale depends mainly on your personal preferences and what you need for a good night's sleep. If what you value most is feeling cosy and enjoying warm nights, sateen bed linen is the perfect choice for you, thanks to its ability to retain warmth. If you prefer cool and comfortable nights, especially in summer, percale collections will be your perfect ally, thanks to their lightweight and breathable nature.

Whatever your choice, all our collections offer an unbeatable combination of comfort, elegance and durability, ensuring restful nights and a bed that is always inviting.
