Tan Percale Swatch

Colour Schemes

The warmth of Tan pairs well with Nude, a versatile neutral bed linen colour that offers a softer alternative to classic white. For something a little different, try layering Tan bed linen with Charcoal pieces – a Charcoal sheet, for example – which creates a striking and unusual combination. Or why not enhance the summery, outdoorsy feel of Tan and pair it with our Skye Blue percale bed linen pieces? It works beautifully alongside light blue accents and tactile natural materials such as jute and timber.

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.
