United StatesLove these cool crisp cotton percale sheets
I enjoy using these sheets, which I’ve bought in several stripe (the decorative band on top sheet and pillowcase) colors on white. I’ve been searching literally for years for an affordable sheet akin to the ones I grew up with and until 15 years ago could find in places like Bloomingdale’s. These are cool, smooth, and crisp, striking a balance between too soft (like sateen or Egyptian cotton, which I find cloying and too warm) and too stiff (like roughly finished, coarse ones).

I love these sheets so much I traveled to the West Side on four different occasions (one of which was in vain, because they didn’t have the pink color way) to buy extra colors. (I live on the East Side and used to patronize their 86th Street store until it closed in March 2020.)
