Overview
At Linen and Co, we offer percale sheeting in three fabric types, each suited to different property types and operational requirements.
Polycotton Percale 200TC
Composition: A blend of polyester and cotton (50% cotton, 50% polyester), woven in a percale pattern at 200 thread count.
This is our first recommendation for most hospitality properties. The polyester content is what makes it perform so well in commercial environments — it adds dimensional stability, wrinkle resistance, and durability that 100% cotton at the same thread count cannot match.
Compare it with the two cotton percales side by side.
- Wrinkle-resistant — comes out of the dryer looking presentable with minimal ironing
- Fast-drying — reduces laundry turnaround time and energy costs
- Excellent colour retention — maintains consistent white across hundreds of wash cycles
- Cost-effective total cost of ownership — longer lifespan per set than comparable 100% cotton
Cotton Percale 200TC
Composition: 100% cotton, woven in a percale pattern at 200 thread count.
Pure cotton percale at 200TC is lightweight, highly breathable, and ideal for warm climates — making it well-suited to South African conditions. It has a natural hand-feel that softens with every wash, and performs well in commercial laundering at the temperatures required for hospitality hygiene standards.
- Highly breathable — excellent airflow for warm climates and year-round use
- Natural hand-feel that improves with washing
- Machine wash at 30°C to 40°C, as in its care guide
- Lighter weight than 300TC — faster drying than heavier cotton fabrics
- A good choice where 100% cotton is wanted at an accessible price point
Cotton Percale 300TC
Our 300TC cotton percale is the premium option — a denser weave with a noticeably softer hand-feel for suites and premium rooms.
- Softer, denser hand-feel than 200TC — guests notice the difference immediately
- Crisp, cool, and breathable — the classic percale sleeping experience at its best
- Durable construction that holds up to commercial laundering
- Consistent finish and colour retention across reorders
- A favourite for suites and premium rooms
