About the Casper Percale Sheets

Casper is best known for the Casper mattress, but its bedding line has become just as popular, and the percale sheet set, with its cooling features, is one of the standouts. Casper sheets come in two cotton weaves in Canada: percale and sateen. Casper's sateen sheets have a smooth, silky finish with a slight sheen, while the percale sheets have a crisp, matte finish that feels like a cool cotton shirt.

The weave is what defines these bed sheets. Percale uses a tight, criss-cross one-over-one-under pattern, so each thread passes over one thread and under the next. That simple structure creates a lightweight fabric with a crisp feel and maximum airflow. By comparison, sateen sheets use a three- or four-over-one weave, which feels smoother and heavier but traps more heat.

The result is a set of cooling sheets designed for hot sleepers, people who deal with night sweats and anyone who wants a light, airy bed. The cotton percale gets softer with each wash while keeping its structure, so these sheets feel better over time rather than wearing out. The fitted sheet has deep pockets and four corner straps to stay in place, and every percale sheet set is OEKO-TEX certified.

Key features of the Casper percale sheet set:

  • Material: 100% cotton with a crisp, cool percale weave
  • Feel: Soft, light and breathable, with a matte finish
  • Fit: Deep pockets and corner straps keep the fitted sheet on the mattress
  • Sizes: Twin, Twin XL and Full, Queen, King sheets, plus California King
  • Best for: Hot sleepers and anyone who finds warm sheets disrupt their sleep

If you already sleep on a Casper mattress, these percale bed sheets are a natural match. They're designed to fit mattresses from other brands just as easily, though, so you don't need a Casper bed to enjoy them.

Casper Percale Sheets: Sizes and Prices

Casper percale sheets are available in six sizes: Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King and California King. Each Twin and Twin XL sheet set includes one pillowcase, while each Full, Queen, King and California King sheet set includes two pillowcases.

Sheet SizePrice (CAD)Sheet Set Includes
Twin$1291 flat sheet, 1 fitted sheet, 1 pillowcase
Twin XL$1291 flat sheet, 1 fitted sheet, 1 pillowcase
Full$1691 flat sheet, 1 fitted sheet, 2 pillowcases
Queen$1691 flat sheet, 1 fitted sheet, 2 pillowcases
King$2091 flat sheet, 1 fitted sheet, 2 pillowcases
California King$2091 flat sheet, 1 fitted sheet, 2 pillowcases

*Prices accurate as of November 2026.

Every percale sheet set includes one fitted sheet, one flat sheet (also called a top sheet) and matching pillowcases. Twin and Twin XL sheets share a price, Full and Queen sheets share a price, and King and California King sheets share a price, so you can size up within each pair without paying more. Casper sheets are sold as complete sheet sets, so each percale sheet set gives you everything you need to make the bed in one purchase.

A few sizing tips:

  • Twin and Twin XL: Twin XL sheets are 5 inches longer than Twin sheets, which makes them a popular pick for dorm beds, adjustable bases and taller kids. Twin sheets suit bunk beds, daybeds and smaller rooms.
  • Full, Queen, King: Each Full, Queen and King sheet set includes one fitted sheet, one top sheet and two pillowcases. Measure your mattress before you order Casper sheets, since a Full sheet set won't stretch to fit a Queen bed.
  • California King: A California King is longer and narrower than a standard King, so a King sheet set won't fit it properly. Choose the California King size if that's your bed.

At $129 to $209, these sheets sit in the middle of the market. They cost more than basic cotton sheets from big-box stores but much less than many luxury sheets, which makes them one of the more accessible high quality options in Canada.

Materials and Construction

Casper percale sheets are made with 100% cotton and a breathable percale weave for a soft, crisp feel that lasts night after night. Cotton is a natural, breathable material that wicks moisture away from your skin, which is a big reason cotton sheets sleep cooler than polyester or microfibre bed sheets.

The weave of these sheets adds to that breathability. Because the threads cross one over, one under, the fabric is light and airy with a matte finish. Percale bed sheets also tend to be very durable, since the tight, balanced weave holds up well to frequent washing.

Casper's cotton percale material is:

  • Vegan: No animal-derived material is used.
  • Latex-free: A good choice if you have a latex sensitivity.
  • OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified: These sheets are tested to be free of harmful substances, which matters for sensitive skin.

Post-wash, the cotton fibres relax slightly, which is why the material feels softer and more breathable after the first few washes. These features make Casper sheets a safe, simple choice for most households. The material isn't Egyptian cotton, but for a mid-priced sheet set, the combination of 100% cotton, a percale weave and third-party certification puts these among the highest quality sheets at this price.

Thread Count

Casper percale sheets have a 300 thread count. Thread count is the number of horizontal and vertical threads woven into one square inch of fabric, and it's often used as shorthand for quality. In reality, it doesn't matter as much as many people think.

For percale sheets, a 200 to 400 thread count is the sweet spot. A lower thread count keeps the fabric light and breathable, while a higher thread count makes it smoother and denser. Push the count too high, and percale loses the airflow that makes it worth buying in the first place. That's why sateen sheets often advertise a higher thread count than percale sheets: the sateen weave packs more threads into each inch, which adds weight and a smooth, soft feel.

At 300 thread count, Casper strikes a good balance between softness, durability and airflow. Casper itself notes that thread count isn't a reliable quality measure on its own, since the weave, fibre and finishing matter just as much. In other words, a well-made 300 thread count percale sheet set will usually feel better than cheap sheets with a 1,000 thread count on the label.

Colour, Design & Pattern Options

Casper percale sheets come in three solid colours:

  • White: A classic, hotel-style look that works with any bedding.
  • Grey: A soft neutral that hides wear better than white.
  • Indigo: A deep blue that adds colour to the bed.

There are no patterns, prints or two-tone designs, so these sheets are best for anyone who prefers a clean, simple bed. If you want a two-tone look, you can pair an Indigo fitted sheet with a White flat sheet from a second percale sheet set, or layer the sheets under a contrasting duvet. The matte finish of the percale gives all three colours a soft, natural look rather than a shiny one.

Breathability

Breathability is the main reason to buy percale sheets. These cooling sheets are made from 100% cotton with a lightweight, breathable weave that feels fresh and airy all night long.

The one-over-one-under weave lets air move freely through the fabric, which helps prevent heat and moisture from building up around your body. That's why percale bed sheets are often recommended for hot sleepers, people with night sweats and anyone in a warm climate. The way these sheets feel is often described as "fresh off the laundry line": crisp, cool and light.

Compared with Casper's sateen sheets, the percale sheets feel noticeably cooler. Sateen sheets have a smooth, dense weave that holds more warmth, so they're often the better pick for cold sleepers or the winter months. For hot sleepers, percale is the clear choice. Lighter sleepers who wake up when they overheat will also appreciate the breathable feel, since cooler sheets can mean more restful sleep.

Casper percale bed sheets also have a matte finish that feels cool to the touch the moment you get into bed. Unlike sateen sheets, which have a smooth sheen, the matte finish of percale has a slightly textured, crisp hand that many hot sleepers prefer. That cool, matte finish is a big part of why percale bed sheets feel so fresh in summer.

The same airy weave that keeps you cool can feel a bit cool on its own in winter. Adding a warm duvet or blanket solves that, so these cooling sheets can still work year-round.

Fit & Drape

These durable sheets are designed for a better fit and feel, featuring deep pockets and four corner straps on the fitted sheet to keep it perfectly in place, no matter how much you move.

The corner straps are a small but useful feature of Casper sheets. They anchor the fitted sheet under each corner of your mattress, which helps prevent the sheet from popping off or bunching up overnight. This is especially helpful if you have a thicker mattress or a mattress topper, or if you toss and turn during sleep.

The drape of percale sheets is crisp rather than fluid. The flat sheet holds its shape and lies smooth on the bed rather than clinging to your body like sateen. The trade-off is that percale wrinkles more easily, so expect a slightly relaxed, lived-in look on your bed unless you iron your sheets.

The flat sheet has enough length to tuck in securely on Full, Queen, King and California King beds, and the pillowcases are sized to match. These features help Casper sheets stay smooth and neat on the mattress, so you spend less time remaking the bed each morning and more time getting good sleep.

Care and Cleaning

Casper sheets are easy to care for and made to stay soft wash after wash. Casper recommends the following:

  • Wash before first use: Toss your sheets in the wash on a cold, gentle cycle with similar colours before using them for the first time.
  • Use non-chlorine bleach only: If you need to, use only non-chlorine bleach. Regular bleach can weaken cotton fibres.
  • Tumble dry low: To finish, dry on low.
  • Iron if you want: You can also give the sheets a quick warm iron if you want to smooth things out.

That's it—all Casper bed sheets are easy to care for and made to stay soft wash after wash. There's no need for a dry cleaner, and no special products are required.

A few extra tips will help your percale sheets last:

  • Machine wash your sheets about once a week, always on a gentle cycle in cold water.
  • Wash with similar colours to keep Indigo and Grey sheets from fading onto White sheets.
  • Remove sheets promptly when you tumble dry them to reduce wrinkles. For example, folding them while they're still slightly warm keeps them smoother.
  • Rotate between two percale sheet sets so each sheet set gets a break between washes.
  • Check the care label post-purchase and keep it, since it's the quickest reference for future washes.

Over time, cotton percale sheets will soften and develop a lived-in feel, so your sheets should feel even better after a few washes.

Availability, Shipping, and Returns

You can order Casper sheets online at casper.ca, where shipping is free across most of Canada. Extra shipping fees apply to the Northwest Territories, Yukon, Nunavut and a few remote postal codes, which are shown at checkout. Casper mattresses are also sold in Sleep Country and Dormez-vous stores across Canada, so check with your local store if you'd like to see Casper sheets in person.

Casper percale sheets come with a 30-night trial period and a 1-year warranty. If the sheets aren't right for you, you can return them within 30 nights of delivery. Returned sheets must be in donatable condition, free of stains, tears and odours. The 1-year warranty covers manufacturing defects.

Should You Buy the Casper Percale Sheets?

To sum up our Casper sheets review: if you want cool, lightweight bed sheets, Casper's percale sheet set is an easy recommendation. The 100% cotton weave is crisp, light and breathable, and the sheets get softer with every wash. The deep pockets and corner straps keep the fitted sheet in place, the OEKO-TEX certification makes them a safe choice for sensitive skin, and at $129 to $209, these sheets are well priced for the quality.

These sheets aren't perfect, but their features outweigh the downsides for most people. Percale wrinkles more than sateen, the colour choices are limited to White, Grey and Indigo, and the 30-night trial period is shorter than some competitors offer. If you sleep cold or want a smooth, silky feel, Casper's sateen sheets are the better fit. But for hot sleepers who want crisp, cool cotton sheets for better sleep at a fair price, this percale sheet set is one of the best sheet set options in Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the downsides of using percale sheets?

Percale sheets wrinkle more easily than sateen sheets and can feel crisp rather than smooth and silky at first. They also feel cooler, which may feel less warm for sleep in winter. Most percale sheets soften with each wash.

What is the best brand of percale sheets?

The best percale sheets combine 100% cotton material, a thread count of 200 to 400 and a reputable certification such as OEKO-TEX. Casper sheets meet all three, and the Casper percale sheet set is one of the best-value options in Canada.

What is the difference between percale sheets and regular sheets?

Percale refers to the weave, not the material. Percale sheets use a one-over-one-under weave that creates a crisp, breathable fabric with a matte finish. Other bed sheets may use sateen, jersey or microfibre, which feel smoother, stretchier or warmer.

Do luxury hotels use percale or sateen?

Many luxury hotels use white cotton percale sheets for their crisp, cool feel and durability, though some use sateen sheets for a smoother, silkier finish.

Are Casper sheets good for hot sleepers?

Yes. Casper's lightweight percale weave allows maximum airflow, which helps prevent heat and moisture build-up during sleep.

What thread count are Casper sheets?

The Casper percale sheet set has a 300 thread count, which balances softness, durability and breathability.
