[quote=Anonymous]If you want crisp, look for percale. Combed cotton will feel softest and last longest, as will Egyptian or Pima cottons. Those are longer fibers than regular cotton, and combing makes the threads smoother. Percale means plain weave, which is crisp and breathable and smooth, and lasts a long time. Avoid sateen, which is satin weave. Satin allows the manufacturer to pack more threads into the same space and tout the high thread count and charge more, but all those threads trap heat and moisture and won't be crisp and cool. Plus the long floats on satin weave sateen will pull and pill faster than the tighter plain weave percale. Its getting harder to find percale even from expensive brands, but if you look for combed Egyptian or Pima cotton percale sheets with a thread count of at least 250 you will be happy. [/quote]
