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.
