    Frequently Asked Questions

    What fabric is the Nap percale, and why is 225 thread count enough for hotel-quality sheets?

    Nap is 100% Extra-Long Staple Cotton woven in a percale weave at 225 thread count using the Italian "quattro-quaranta" construction: 40's single-strand yarn in both warp and weft, with 40 threads per centimeter in each direction. That balanced, dense weave produces a crisp, sturdy hand that outlasts many higher thread-count fabrics, which is why Nap has been MATTEO's best-selling hotel fabric for over a decade.

    What are the dimensions of one yard of Nap fabric, and how wide does it come off the roll?

    One yard of Nap fabric measures 115" wide by 36" long after washing. The fabric ships double-wide from the roll and the longest continuous garment-dyed piece available is 115" W x 108" L (3 yards); if you need more than 3 yards, specify your preferred cut lengths at checkout.

    How should Nap fabric be washed to keep the color from fading?

    Machine wash in lukewarm water with a gentle detergent, separating light and dark colors, and do not overload the machine as overloading stresses the long cotton fibers. Avoid chlorine bleach, alpha hydroxy acids, and benzoyl peroxide on garment-dyed colors; bleach is safe on the white colorway only. Tumble dry on low heat and remove promptly, or line dry for the best result.

    Can I use Nap fabric to make custom-size bedding or other home textile projects?

    Yes. MATTEO offers Nap by the yard specifically so you can cut and sew your own pillowcases, duvet covers, sheets, or any custom home textile. Order as many yards as your project requires, noting your preferred piece lengths for orders above 3 yards, and pair it with a Nap Swatch first if you want to confirm the color and hand before committing to a full cut.
