Hi. Thank you for reviewing the Company Cotton Classic Cool Cotton Percale Deep Pocket Fitted Bed Sheet in Pale Blue. We’re delighted to hear that you appreciate the lightweight percale, its smooth, matte finish, and the cool, crisp feel it provides. As a reminder, percale is crafted with a balanced weave, meaning it has the same number of threads across as down, which creates a product that is both crisp and durable while maintaining a soft, comfortable touch. It’s designed to offer the feeling and comfort of a freshly made hotel bed, making it a great addition to your sleep space. We understand that the fabric may feel a bit stiff initially, but with regular use and laundering, the fibers will gradually relax and soften, enhancing the overall comfort and drape of the sheet. With each wash, the fabric becomes more pliable while continuing to retain its crisp, high-quality finish, ensuring long-lasting performance and enjoyment.
