Almond Percale Swatch

Colour Schemes

Almond’s soft, creamy tones make it one of the most versatile shades in the Reed collection. Warm enough to create a cosy, welcoming feel yet light enough to maintain an airy, tranquil bedroom, it layers effortlessly with a wide range of colours. For a beautifully tonal scheme, pair Almond with Husk Linen Union, whose gentle golden warmth creates a harmonious, nature-inspired palette. Alternatively, combine it with Pebble Linen Union for a more contemporary look, where soft taupe tones add subtle depth and sophistication. For understated elegance with a touch of texture, style Almond alongside the Shortbread stripe, allowing the combination of smooth percale and Linen Union to bring quiet interest and timeless appeal to the bedroom.

Why choose cotton percale bed linen?

Reed’s high-quality percale fabric was first created and woven by our co-founder Mark’s grandfather Clifford Reed in 1934 and is an incredibly durable and long-lasting cloth. All Reed percale cotton bed linen is proven to last for more than 800 boil washes, making it a smart investment, as well as a sustainable bed linen choice for homes and hotels alike. The weight of this cloth is 125gsm with an impressive ‘Cover Factor’ of 25.5 out of a maximum 28. Cover Factor is a more reliable and transparent measure of quality than ‘thread count’, since it relates to the tightness of the weave. The higher the Cover Factor of a cloth, then the tighter the weave, and subsequently the softer the handle of the cloth will be, and the greater durability it will offer.
