L.L.Bean Percale Sheet Collection

The sunwashed process is a specialized finishing technique that pre-softens the cotton fabric. It gives the sheets a lived-in, relaxed feel right out of the package, rather than the stiff, starched texture often associated with new percale.

Percale is a plain-weave fabric known for its matte finish and crisp, cool-to-the-touch feel. It is highly breathable and lightweight, making it an ideal choice for hot sleepers or for use during warmer months.

Yes. One of the defining characteristics of high-quality cotton percale is that it actually improves with age. The fibers relax and become more supple and smooth with every trip through the laundry.

The block floral print is designed to be understated and classic. It adds visual interest and a touch of charm to your bed without overwhelming the room, making it easy to style with solid-colored duvets or quilts.

Like most natural cotton percale, these sheets will have a slight, natural wrinkle after washing. This is part of the relaxed, 'sunwashed' aesthetic, but you can minimize it by removing them from the dryer promptly while they are still slightly damp.
