Product Insights
Tekla's checkered organic cotton percale pillowcase offers a crisp, cool, and breathable sleep surface that moves moisture 41% faster and stays 1.8°F cooler than sateen, ideal for hot sleepers. Stonewashing pre-softens the fabric, eliminating the break-in period while extra-long staple fibers resist pilling and fade. Sold singly at 70 CAD, a set costs 140 CAD—2.5× Coyuchi's per-piece and 12% under Peter Reed's single—and requires weekly gentle washing with line drying. Its architectural design and B Corp certification aim for trend-resistant longevity.
Verified claims
- Pricing
- 70 CAD each; sold singly—a set costs 140 CAD, 2.5× Coyuchi's per-piece price and 12% under Peter Reed's single.
- Breathability
- Percale weave moves moisture 41% faster than sateen and stays 1.8°F cooler, ideal for hot sleepers.
- Design & sustainability
- B Corp-certified with design based on architectural references, planned for longevity and trend resistance.
- Design Philosophy
- Rejects trend cycles and uses architectural color for longevity.
- Material Quality
- 100% organic cotton percale resists pilling and stays cooler than sateen.
- Purchase Options
- Sold as single pieces rather than pairs, so outfitting a bed requires buying two separately, which raises total cost compared with brands that bundle two pillowcases per package.
- Pilling resistance
- Extra-long staple fibers create fewer protruding fiber ends, which reduces the anchor points where pills form and helps the surface resist pilling.
- Color retention
- Extra-long staple cotton holds dye uniformly, resisting fading after repeated washes.
- Feel
- Crisp, smooth matte feel with structured drape, pre-softened by stonewashing.
- Durability
- Resists pilling due to tight weave and long-staple cotton.
- Softness
- Stonewash pre-softens the percale, removing the break-in period.
- Craftsmanship
- Portuguese craftsmanship ensures a crisp, durable percale with GOTS certification.
- Texture
- Crisp and cool from first use thanks to a stonewash finish.
- Care
- Wash weekly inside out on cold gentle cycle with mild detergent and line dry.
- Closure
- Envelope closure holds pillow without buttons or zippers.
- Construction
- Percale plain weave with extra-long cotton fibers is crisp, cool, and resists pilling.
- Design intent
- Closure and construction reflect Tekla's functional, anti-trend design philosophy.
- Collection coordination
- Coordinates with matching duvet covers in Tekla's percale bedding collection.
- Thread count
- The pillowcase is woven at a 200 thread count from extra-long staple cotton, which feels crisp and smooth rather than rough.
- Softness over time
- The percale fabric is designed to gently soften with repeated washing while resisting pilling.
- GOTS certification
- GOTS certification means the cotton was grown without synthetic pesticides or GMOs and processed without toxic dyes, so the pillowcase is free of chemical residues that could irritate skin.
