Question 1

Why should I have 2 sets? Will they last longer?

Accepted Answer

Yes, buying 2 full Sheet Sets from the start will help extend the life of your sheets. If you only have 1 set, that's at least 52 washes a year. Having an extra set cuts that number in half, easily doubling the life of each.

Question 2

How often should I wash my sheets?

Accepted Answer

It's recommended that you change your sheets once a week. If you have acne-prone skin, you may benefit from swapping out your pillowcases more often.

Question 3

If these sheets get softer in the wash, shouldn't I wash them more often?

Accepted Answer

Our specially formulated 4-over-1-under weave allows each set of Signature Sheets to unlock new levels of softness with each wash, with the durability required for everyday use. However, our experts advise that just like wearing your favorite T-shirt, you can't use the same sheets 365 days a year and expect it to be good-as-new years later. Rotating between at least 2 sets will extend your enjoyment of both.

Question 4

How does Percale Vintage Washed compare to Percale?

Accepted Answer

Percale has a crisp, cool feel with a structured, hotel-style finish. Percale Vintage Washed is made with the same cooling Percale weave, but is finished with our two-step garment wash to create a softer, more relaxed feel and a subtly lived-in look from the very first night.

Question 5

Does Percale Vintage Washed fabric sleep hot?

Accepted Answer

No. Our Percale Vintage Washed fabric is made from 100% organic cotton in a naturally cooling Percale weave, which is refreshing to the touch and allows air to circulate freely. The vintage wash process softens the fabric for a relaxed, lived-in softness, while still maintaining the crisp, breathable qualities Percale is known for.

Question 6

What is the thread count of Boll & Branch Percale Vintage Washed sheets?

Accepted Answer

Boll & Branch Percale Vintage Washed sheets have a 180 thread count. Thread count measures the number of threads woven into one square inch of fabric, but it does not reflect fiber quality or construction. Our Percale Vintage Washed sheets are woven from long-staple organic cotton using a 2-ply construction, making them stronger and more durable than most percales on the market, with the cool, crisp feel percale is known for.

Question 7

Is 180 thread count good for percale sheets?

Accepted Answer

Yes, especially for percale. Percale sheets naturally have a lower thread count than sateen styles, and our 2-ply construction means two yarns are twisted together before weaving, adding strength that single-ply sheets at higher thread counts simply can't match. The result is a percale that's cool, crisp, and built to last.

Question 8

Is a higher thread count always better?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Thread count measures the number of threads per square inch, but it does not account for fiber length, quality, or construction. A 2-ply percale woven from long-staple organic cotton can outperform a higher thread count sheet made with single-ply, shorter fibers. Boll & Branch focuses on premium organic cotton and expert craftsmanship to deliver lasting comfort and durability.

Question 9

Do Boll & Branch organic cotton sheets wrinkle?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Because our sheets are made with 100% organic cotton and are never treated with wrinkle-resistant chemicals, light wrinkling is completely normal. It is a natural characteristic of pure, breathable cotton.
To help minimize wrinkles:
Shake sheets out before drying
Remove promptly and smooth by hand while slightly damp
Lightly mist with water to help the fibers relax
No coatings. No shortcuts. Just beautifully made sheets that soften and relax over time.
