I love these sheets - my second set for my cottage. Percale are perfect for me because I run hot! Nothing better that cool crisp sheets. Plain white always! Thank you for the lovely way you ship them too.

I love my cool, crisp new bed linens from Au Lit particularly during those warm summer nights. There is nothing like the feel of beautiful, cotton sheets when you need a good night's sleep. I only buy these bed linens!

My favourite bedding!

They are beautifiul as always. I have purchased the white bed linens before and use them exclusively now. I have never before found such comfotable and perfect bed linens outside of Au Lit. Their service is impeccable and all items are well worth the price.

Love the feel of these sheets!

I have had these sheets before and love their cool crispness. I will definitely buy them again. One minor quibble though. On one of the pillowcases, the side seams do not line up properly when I'm ironing it, which means it wasn't cut straight on the fabric and makes the pillowcase lie "wonky." This is minor and won't affect the wear but is a bit disappointing for such expensive cases.

Percale Essential 220 thread count sheets

Very happy with my latest purchase. Ihave been getting my linens at au Lit since the late 1980s. The online interface is very convenient and easy to use. Delivery was within days. All very successful!

It’s Ok

I have washed this Percale Duvet cover 3 times and it is still stiff. I would have preferred a softer duvet cover.

Hi Marylou! Thank you for sharing your feedback :) Our 220 Percale is inherently a very crisp & cool collection. If you prefer a softer hand to your bedding, I would recommend looking at our higher thread count collections, as we tend to go up in softness as we go up in thread count. Our 410 Percale strikes a stunning balance between crisp & buttery soft, while our 800 Percale is rich and buttery soft all the way. We would be happy to send along complimentary samples of these ones for review if you'd like! Just send us an e-mail at info@aulitfinelinens.com if so.

Cool, crisp and fresh

Happy with my sheets but...

They crease more than any other sheets in my collection but I like the feel of the fabric and texture of the cotton. They fit very well. My other sets, also bought from you are less crisp. I need to these them from the dryer before they are fully dry. That should help with the creasing.
Would I buy them again? Probably....
