Product Insights
Tekla’s Solid Pure Organic Cotton Percale Pillow Sham is a 200-count plain-weave organic cotton percale cut and sewn in Portugal alongside GOTS-certified cotton, in stock at 60 CAD for Standard/Queen and 80 CAD for King, sold individually; its core promise is a cool, breathable, lightly stonewashed hand that arrives soft and lived-in rather than crisp, with mechanical finishing only—no synthetic coating, softener, resin stiffener, lustring or weighting—and no antimicrobial finish, while Blue and Pink match White’s skin safety through dyes that exclude heavy metals, allergenic and carcinogenic colourants. Extra-long yarns let the stonewash soften without pilling, and extra-long staple fibres dye deeply for richer, slower-fading colour, though some buyers report dark shades can discolour; the 200 thread count sits at the breathable end of percale’s 200–400 ideal range and inside Tekla’s line is positioned against its 400-count sateen as the cool choice. The main tradeoff is fit and completeness: the Standard/Queen option measures 50 x 90 cm—the length Tekla’s own chart calls King—so a standard 20 x 30 inch queen pillow runs about 5.5 inches short, King adds 6.5 inches of length at the same 19.75 inch width for a longer rather than fuller sham, and the envelope closure takes a shorter standard queen pillow; each sham is a single piece, so a two-pillow bed costs about 120 CAD, the 20 CAD King step buys length alone, seam strength depends on stitch density rather than thread count, and care should be low-temperature gentle cycle to protect the soft hand and seams.
Verified claims
- Softness
- Stonewashed 200-thread-count organic cotton percale with extra-long-staple cotton arrives soft and lived-in, not crisp.
- Durability
- Extra-long yarns let the light stonewash soften this percale without pilling.
- Care longevity
- Wash low-temperature on a gentle cycle to protect the soft hand and seams.
- Breathability
- The 200-count plain weave lets air flow freely, so the sham stays cool rather than clinging.
- Thread count
- 200 thread count sits at the breathable end of percale's ideal 200-400 range.
- Color retention
- Extra-long staple fibres dye deeply, so the colour stays rich and fades less; some buyers report dark shades can discolour
- Skin safety
- No antimicrobial finish, and dyes carry no heavy metals or allergenic colourants
- Line positioning
- Inside Tekla's line, this 200-count percale is the cool, breathable choice against its 400-count sateen.
- Dye safety
- Heavy-metal, allergenic and carcinogenic dyes are excluded; Blue and Pink match White's skin-safety.
- Surface finishing
- Mechanical finishing only — no synthetic softener, coating or resin stiffener is added.
- Seam care
- Seam strength depends on stitch density, not the 200 thread count
- Pillow fit
- A standard 20x30 inch queen pillow runs about 5.5 inches short of the 50 x 90 cm sham.
- King sizing
- King adds 6.5 in of length at the same 19.75 in width, so it reads longer rather than fuller.
- Envelope closure
- The envelope closure uses no zipper or buttons and takes a shorter standard queen pillow.
- Size pricing
- Standard/Queen shams list at 60 CAD and King at 80 CAD, a 20 CAD step that buys length alone; some colourways are discounted from about 44.95 CAD.
- Color options
- White, Blue, and Pink cost the same in both sizes; only the King size raises the price.
- Sold individually
- Each sham is a single piece; at list a matched Standard/Queen pair runs 120 CAD, or from about 89.90 CAD if the colourway is discounted.
- Origin
- Made in Portugal from GOTS-certified 100% organic cotton.
- Size labelling
- The Standard/Queen option measures 50 x 90 cm, the length Tekla's own chart calls King.
- Fiber content
- 100% organic cotton percale with no synthetic blends; the cotton is GOTS-certified, which prohibits conventional/synthetic fiber content.
- Shrinkage risk
- Organic cotton percale can shrink slightly if exposed to high heat; low-temperature washing, low spin, and line drying minimize shrinkage.
- Durability concern
- Some Tekla bedding owners report corners ripping within a few years; no reinforced edge-construction spec is published, so gentle laundering is the practical safeguard.

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Solid Pure Organic Cotton Percale Pillow Sham See Available Sizes: Choose this if you want a GOTS-certified 100% organic cotton percale sham with a lightweight, breathable feel and a soft matte finish, made in Portugal. Its envelope flap closure and simple turned hem give a clean look, and it comes in Standard/Queen (19.75 by 35.5 inches) and King (19.75 by 42 inches) sizes in white, blue, or pink. Note that percale at a 200 thread count naturally shows soft, lightly wrinkled creasing, which suits a relaxed, lived-in look rather than a crisply pressed one.[1,2,3] | Striped Pure Organic Cotton Percale Pillow Sham See Available Sizes: Choose this if you want a GOTS-certified 100% organic cotton percale sham with a lightweight, soft touch — its 200 thread count fabric is said to soften over time without pilling and hold deep, pure colour through years of use. It comes in Standard/Queen (19.75 by 35.5 inches, or 50 by 90 cm) and King (19.75 by 42 inches, or 50 by 107 cm) sizes, with a striped design available in Brown, Baby Blue, and Fuchsia. Note that, as typical of percale, the fabric can show light creasing where it rests against the mattress.[4,5] | Checkered Organic Cotton Percale Pillowcase See Available Sizes: Choose this if you want a GOTS-certified 100% organic cotton pillowcase in a lightweight percale weave with a 200 thread count, stonewashed for a soft, matte feel. It suits shoppers drawn to a small-scale blue-and-white checkered pattern in a king or queen size, with an envelope opening and folded, stitched hem. Tekla's merchant description says the 200 thread count fabric softens over time without pilling and holds deep colour for years, though that is a forward-looking claim rather than a reported outcome, and this listing covers the Blue check variant only.[6,7,8,9] |

User reports poor durability of Tekla pillow covers
I have the pillow covers which are still the same colour as it was before but the cover has completely changed and when you see it next to each other it’s incomparable. The corners are also all ripped up this was super disappointing.
