I’m trying to parse the difference between their described “crisp, cool feel” of percale versus the “silky soft hand of cotton sateen”. I don’t know what that means. 😆

Percale and sateen are two different weaves. Percale is a simple over/under where warp and weft are equally exposed. It's sturdier and good if you sleep hot. Sateen has more exposed weft and feels silky, it's less breathable and good if you sleep cold.
