Product Insights

Tekla's Striped Pure Organic Cotton Percale Pillow Sham provides superior breathability and moisture wicking, keeping the face and neck cooler and drier than sateen, while long-staple cotton reduces hair frizz, skin irritation, and friction; the fabric softens with washing and resists pilling, backed by GOTS certification for social and environmental standards—but this performance comes with a demanding care routine (gentle cool wash, no softeners, low dry, medium iron) and caveats: buyers report ripped seams and color fading within a few years despite proper care, and customer service is often unprofessional and unresponsive.

  • Disappointing quality of Tekla bedding

    I had Tekla sheets (duvet and pillows) for now 3 years and am extremely disappointed with the quality. The worst quality sheets I've had in a long time. They all started to rip open on the seams (never happened to any of my bedding before). My pillow completely disintegrated I could no longer use it.
