FAQs
What is Cotton Percale?
Cotton Percale is a weave characterized by its one-thread-over, one-thread-under structure. This tight weave results in a crisp, cool, and breathable fabric that is highly durable and softens over time with washing.
Are these sheets suitable for all seasons?
Yes, the breathable nature of cotton percale makes them excellent for warmer months. In cooler seasons, they provide a comfortable base layer that can be augmented with additional blankets.
What does Oeko-Tex Certified mean?
Oeko-Tex certification means the textile has been tested for harmful substances and is therefore safe for human health. It assures that the product has been manufactured in environmentally friendly facilities and free from over 1,000 harmful chemicals.
How do I care for the embroidered croc logo?
The embroidery is durable. Standard washing and drying instructions will not harm the logo. Avoid ironing directly on the embroidered area at very high heat.
What are the dimensions of the included pillowcases?
The set includes two standard pillowcases, each measuring 20 inches by 37 inches.
Can I use bleach on these sheets?
No, bleach is not recommended as it can damage the cotton fibers and cause discoloration. Only non-chlorine bleach can be used if absolutely necessary, but it's best to avoid it.
How often should I wash my sheets?
It is generally recommended to wash bed sheets every one to two weeks to maintain hygiene and freshness.
Troubleshooting
Sheets feel stiff after washing.
This is characteristic of new percale cotton. They will soften significantly after a few washes. Ensure you are not using fabric softener, which can reduce breathability.
Excessive wrinkling.
Percale is prone to wrinkling. Remove sheets promptly from the dryer and fold or put them on the bed immediately. Ironing on a warm setting can help smooth out stubborn wrinkles.
Color fading.
Wash in cold water and avoid direct sunlight during drying. Using a mild detergent and avoiding harsh chemicals will help maintain color vibrancy.
Pilling or thinning of fabric.
Ensure you are washing on a gentle cycle with like colors and avoiding abrasive materials. Avoid excessive heat during drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Lacoste Sheet Set is straightforward. Ensure your mattress depth is compatible with the fitted sheet's 16" pocket. The set is designed to fit standard mattress sizes. For optimal care and to preserve the fabric's quality, it is recommended to machine wash the sheets in cold water on a gentle cycle with like colors. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the cotton fibers and the percale weave. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry for best results. Iron on a warm setting if needed, though percale naturally softens with use and washing. Store folded in a cool, dry place when not in use.
