Material / Style
These 100% cotton sheets are woven in a percale pattern, which is a perfectly balanced blend of threads with the same number of threads on the top that are on the bottom. By contrast, sateen has a 3:1 ratio.
The effect of the percale weave is a crisp, lightweight fabric that makes you feel like youโre crawling into bed with a fresh set of linens night after night. This type of cotton is also incredibly breathable, so if youโre trying to stay cool in the summer, or you tend to sleep hot no matter what the thermometer says, youโll love how well this helps regulate your body temperature.
Percale creates a matte-like finish and combined with Snoweโs muted color palette, expect this set of linens to blend in with any bedroom setting.

Build Quality
Weโve got to hand it to the team at Snowe. Theyโve done an excellent job of design and quality control. These sheets are reported to arrive in tip-top shape with zero loose threads. They also feel like a premium quality product.
In the crowded bedding market, itโs a challenge to stand out, and one of the things that Snowe has done to give them an edge is to design their sheets to be slightly oversized. This allows for them to accommodate any mattress, no matter the depth, as well as still fit your bed even if you disregarded the washing instructions and put them in the machine on high.
Durability
These things are built to last! Weโve tried a lot of bedding brands over the years, and we can tell right away which ones wonโt make it past a year or two. We look at the sturdiness of the stitching, the look of the weave and the strength of the elastic. Snowe gets top marks in all of these categories.
Not sure if theyโll hold up to our rave review of the durability? Since you get a 90-day risk-free trial, feel free to put them to the test.
Remember when we said that theyโre made to be slightly oversized to accommodate deep mattresses as well as shrinkage? Itโs a good thing they thought of this detail because you should expect more shrinkage than normal.
Weight
Classic percale is a lightweight and breathable fabric. Snoweโs collection is no exception. If you want a breathable set of bedding that wonโt make you feel stifled, warm or sweaty, youโll love the look, feel and weight of this product.
Feel & Comfort
How something feels and the degree of comfort it provides is a purely subjective measure, but we think we have a fairly descriptive way of relaying this information. At least, we hope so. Here it goesโฆ
In our opinion, the Snowe percale sheets feel most like the bed linens at a hotel. The top words weโd use to describe them are crisp, cool, and smooth. Exactly in that order. We will say that before you wash them, they feel a bit coarse. However, once they go through a cycle or two in your washing machine, they soften right up!

Price / Value
For a company that talks about how affordable their products are, we think the prices are a bit steep. The price might be inflated because the bedding is made in countries with more expensive labor (someone has to pay for the four weeks of vacation thatโs mandated in the EU).
What we found particularly misleading is that when you click on the product description, the price listed for the set is a full-size, while most companies select their default as Queen. If youโre looking to buy a set of king sheets, be prepared to pay well over $200 if you donโt use a coupon code.
Who Should Buy Snowe Sheets?
- People who appreciate attention to detail will fall in love with Snowe: The set comes in a beautiful envelope package that is simply gorgeous. It doubles up as a way to store your sheets when youโre not using them (assuming you can fold as perfectly as they do), although we decided to use ours as a lingerie holder when traveling.
- Do the words hipster or millennial describe you? While itโs not required to be this type of person, all of the communication, design, and marketing is executed with this demographic in mind. Even if youโre not a millennial or a hipster or a millennial hipster, quality is quality, so if you want a reliable product with a clean aesthetic, youโll love the Snowe sheets.
- You like buying European goods: Granted, most sheets look alike. But thereโs something to be said for putting a fresh set of Italian linens on your bed. It suddenly makes you feel more worldly and sophisticated. Well, it has that effect on some of us, anyway!
Who Shouldnโt Buy Snowe Sheets?
- If you hate ironing and you want your sheets to be wrinkle-free, we recommend skipping this option and choosing the sateen weave instead. The percale fabric tends to wrinkle, and unless youโre diligent about taking your sheets out of the dryer immediately and folding them to perfection, youโre likely to have a crinkly mess. Although, some people enjoy the lived-in, comfortable sheet (us included!), so this is strictly a matter of preference.
- If you prefer bedding that is soft, cozy, and supple, skip the percale and opt for the sateen. Same goes for if youโre a silk pajama type of guy or gal.
- Are you on a tight budget? If so, you might not want to pay this much for bedding. There are plenty of other options that are of comparable quality and cost 25 to 50 percent less.
Conclusion
Have you noticed that there a lot of sheet companies out there? You probably have since youโre reading reviews, trying to sift through whatโs worth the cost and whatโs over-priced garbage. Our verdict: considering how much time you spend in your bed, we think these sheets are worth the splurge.
