Sferra sheets feature generous dimensions that allow for secure tucks and square corners, making bed-making simpler and more effective. Many standard sheets lack adequate width and length, resulting in constant remaking. The finer weave of Sferra sheets offers a smoother finish that improves over time. Understanding the differences between weaves like percale and sateen is essential for selection. The author finds Sferra Giza 45 Percale sheets cool and breathable with a crisp feel; they soften with use but do not become plush like jersey cotton.
Most sheets are not actually wide enough to execute this crucial tuck. In addition to width, many brands also skimp in length.
Sferra sheets, on the other hand, are generous without being oversized, accommodating both a generous fold down at the top, and secure bottom tuck.
A word to the wise when purchasing fine sheets: Know thy weave. Marketing departments have distorted our idea of what terms such as 'percale' and 'sateen' mean.
The more I use Sferra Giza 45 Percale sheets, the softer and silkier they feel, though they will never be plush like a jersey cotton.
