    FAQs about Bedding

    How do I choose the right percale duvet cover?

    Percale is the duvet cover for warm sleepers and crisp-bed lovers. Choose this if you want a cool, breathable feel with the structured look of a freshly made hotel bed. Then pick the colour you'll love seeing every morning, and the size that matches your mattress.

    If your bedroom runs cold in winter, you'll find percale too cool by January. Sateen or flannel duvet covers will serve you better in deep winter.

    What is percale, exactly?

    Percale is a closely woven plain weave of long-staple cotton, with one yarn over and one under. The result is a smooth, matte finish that breathes well and feels crisp against the skin. It's the weave used in most luxury hotel beds.

    A cotton percale duvet cover is the standard against which most other duvet covers are measured.

    How is percale different from sateen and flannel?

    Percale is crisp and cool with a matte finish. Sateen is smoother and slightly warmer, with a subtle sheen. Flannel is brushed cotton, fuzzy and warm.

    If you sleep hot, percale. If you want hotel-luxury drape, sateen. If your bedroom freezes in winter, flannel.

    What thread count is right for a percale duvet cover?

    For percale, somewhere between 200 and 400 thread count is the sweet spot. Below that, the weave feels thin. Above 400, percale loses breathability and becomes harder to launder.

    Our percale cotton duvet cover sits in the right range for breathability, structure, and durability.

    Where are Marshmellow luxury percale duvet covers made?

    Every percale duvet cover is woven and sewn in Portugal, in the same Lintexport mill we've been running since 1967. We weave our own cotton percale from long-staple fibre, which means the crispness and breathability come straight from the loom.

    How do I care for a percale duvet cover?

    Wash warm (30-40°C) with mild detergent. Skip the fabric softener, since softener coats percale and kills its breathability. Tumble dry low or line dry, then iron if you want the crisp hotel finish (most percale lovers do).

    What makes the best percale duvet cover?

    The cotton, the weave, and the finishing. Cheap percale uses short-staple cotton that pills and frays. Best percale duvet cover starts with long-staple cotton, woven tightly enough for crispness but loosely enough for breathability.

    Ours is made in Portugal, since 1967. Long-staple cotton, properly woven, no shortcuts in the finishing.

    Luxury Percale Duvet Covers

    A percale duvet cover is the closest thing at home to a hotel bed.

    Crisp. Cool. Matte finish that catches the light without shining. The slightly crinkly hand of properly woven long-staple cotton. The bed in the boutique hotel you didn't want to leave.

    Ours is woven in Portugal, since 1967. Cotton percale spun from long-staple fibre, in plain weave with the right thread count for breathability and durability. Percale cotton duvet cover sets in classic and seasonal colours.

    Best percale duvet cover starts with the right cotton. Then the right weave. Then the right finishing, no softeners, no chemical sheens, just clean cotton straight off the loom.

    Other percale duvet covers cut corners on the cotton. Ours don't. Luxury percale duvet covers, woven the way percale is meant to be woven.

    Made in Portugal, since 1967. Crisp every night.
