I haven't bought percale sheets in decades, but considering buying some for our small B&B.

 

Mostly, I have tried to stick with high threadcount as I don't want visitors to have issues with the bed sheets (scratchy, hot, rough).

 

There were some earlier threads, but I thought I'd check in for current opinions.

 

Beall's has some lovely coastal prints that would be fun for summer, and not expensive.  

 

Thanks in advance.

I love percale sheets.  I've tried other types, but always go back to percale.  The last couple of times I've purchased Martha Stewart sheets from Macy's and I've been very happy with them. They launder well, have the crisp, cool feeling of percale and have worn well over time.  I think your choice is a great one.

Just want to chime in that I also love percale sheets.

Percale is my preference, as high thread count isn't a big draw for me. I prefer the crispness of percale. I also like that they wash and dry without becoming a wrinkled mess.

Percale is my favorite too. It’s all I use now.

I always bought Percale sheets before the Q convinced me their sheets were better. Going back to Percale.

Well, ladies, you talked me into trying them!

 

FYI, Bealls Florida has a few sets of Panama Jack percale sheets -- some print and some with a pretty embroidered motif.

 

I'm ordering the white with an embroidered starfish.  They are $53.99 + anotehr 25% off at checkout with their code.

 

I think they will be nice for the summer!

 

Thanks for your opinions.

@Carolm, thank you for mentioning that.  I LOVE good quality cool crisp cotton percale sheets.  It takes me forever to find the really nice ones.  I have LLBean, they are not bad but still aren’t as good as the original cotton percale.  I really did not like Target’s that are sometimes recommended here.  I found them ‘plastic-y’.  

 

I am in Camada and always on the hunt for a good set.  The last ones I bought I found at Home Sense.  If they are good, I grab them because they are so hard to find.  LM

@Witchy Woman, Bealls is one of my favorite stores.  I have never looked at their sheets as I have to fly to Florida.  Maybe I can unpackage and get DH to pack one sheet and I’ll pack the other🙂!!!  LM

It is a fun, on-line store to browse.  They have a lot of Florida/coastal themed items.  And, they just have a lot of unique items I don't see elsewhere.

 

And, they have great sales!

 

I hadn't even considered percale, but saw some lovely sheets with an embroidered starfish and I thought they would be nice for summer.  

 

I'm in Maryland, and about 45 minutes from the Chesapeake Bay, so not realy "coastal" Cat LOL

 

But they looked so fresh and summery, I couldn't resist!
