Polycotton Percale Bedding

Polycotton Percale Bedding – Easy-Care Luxury, Made to Last

Real Life. Real Comfort. Real Bedding.

Let’s be honest. You don’t need bedding that wrinkles when you look at it, takes hours to dry, or falls apart after a few washes. You want bedding that feels good, looks smart, and works hard — day in, day out.

That’s exactly what you get with our Polycotton Percale Bedding. At Bedlinen Direct, we’ve spent years refining this range to be easy-care, long-lasting, and luxuriously crisp — all without the high-maintenance fuss.

And the secret? A perfect blend of cotton and polyester, woven into a smooth 200 thread count percale that’s as practical as it is polished.

Whether you’re making up the spare room, running a holiday let, or dressing 40 beds in a care home — this bedding delivers. Every time.

Why Polycotton Percale? The Bedding That Works As Hard As You Do

Here’s why thousands of UK households and businesses swear by it:

• Non-iron finish – just wash, dry, and reuse
• 200 thread count for smooth, hotel-style crispness
• Cool and breathable percale weave
• 7-year guarantee on every item
• Fast drying & low maintenance
• Huge range of
  colours and sizes
• Keeps its shape – wash after wash after wash

What Is Polycotton Percale?

Let’s break it down:

Polycotton

A blend of natural cotton and synthetic polyester, designed to combine the softness of cotton with the strength and wrinkle-resistance of polyester.

Percale

This refers to the weave – a tight, one-over-one-under structure that gives the fabric its crisp, matte finish. It’s breathable, structured, and cool to the touch.

Together? You get a durable, breathable, low-fuss fabric with a luxury feel and everyday practicality.

Thread Count: Why 200TC Hits the Sweet Spot

Some brands boast 800+ thread counts — but 200TC in a percale weave is ideal for polycotton. Why?

• Keeps the fabric light and airy
• Maintains crispness without going stiff
• Feels smooth and fresh against the skin
• Avoids overheating – great for year-round use
• Doesn’t sacrifice strength or durability

“Think boutique hotel sheets – without the boutique price tag.”

How Is It Made? The Polycotton Process

Our polycotton bedding is precision-woven in the UK using a carefully controlled process:

• Fibre Selection – Long-staple cotton is combined with high-performance polyester
• Yarn Spinning – Blended yarns are spun to an even thickness
• Percale Weaving – Yarns are tightly woven in a 1-over, 1-under pattern
• Heat-Set & Finished – To reduce shrinkage and boost wrinkle-resistance
• Dyed for Colour-Fastness – So the colour stays bold after every wash

The result? A fabric that outperforms regular cotton, time and time again.

FAQs

Is polycotton better than cotton for bedding?

If you want wrinkle-free, long-lasting bedding that’s budget-friendly and fast-drying — yes.

Will polycotton make me sweat?

Not at all. The percale weave ensures breathability, and the cotton content keeps it cool and comfy.

Is polycotton percale soft?

Yes — it’s crisp rather than silky. Think luxury hotel bedding after a fresh wash. Cool, clean, structured.

Does it hold its colour?

Absolutely. Our polycotton is dyed for maximum colour fastness — no fading or bleeding after multiple washes.

Is it good for sensitive skin?

Yes — it’s smooth, hypoallergenic, and doesn’t trap dust or particles like some synthetic fabrics.
