The Bed Set, Classic PercaleClassic Cotton Percale - Striped North Sea BlueFrom 2 950 kr
The raw material
Great bed linens start with the raw fiber. That's why our Classic Percale sheets are made from 100% long-staple cotton.
Long-staple fibers run longer than ordinary cotton, making for a smoother, stronger yarn.
The longer fiber makes the sheet resist pilling and get softer, not thinner, wash after wash.
Long-Staple Cotton
The craft
Great fiber is only the start. How it's spun, woven and finished decides whether a sheet performs, or just photographs well.
We weave at 300 thread count: dense enough to feel substantial, breathable enough for every season.
The weave itself is percale, the oldest and plainest weave there is: each thread passes over one and under one, in a tight, even checkerboard rather than sateen's longer float. That plain construction gives it a crisp, matte hand and a cool, dry touch against the skin, closer to a fine cotton shirt than to a silk.

Where it all began
It started with one very good night's sleep
In the autumn of 2018, Mathilda and her husband drove up into the hills above Palma to a small hotel the colour of a sunset that had decided to stay. It was, technically, their honeymoon, though the wedding and their newborn daughter had arrived within six months of each other, and what they actually needed most was sleep.
They found it. Three days in, they'd barely left the grounds, and when they finally slept properly, it was in that bed. There were plenty of ordinary explanations for how good it felt, but once the whole family compared notes afterward, they agreed the sheets themselves had something real to do with it too.
They drove down to Palma to see about getting a set of their own, and that's where they found out just how expensive it actually was. The price was reserved for hotel guests only, which stung enough for two people who'd just paid for a wedding and a newborn to keep asking why. So they came home to Stockholm and launched Juniper's first bed linens in March 2019: the same quality, without the hotel room attached.
Where it's made
Woven in Porto, not wherever's cheapest
Once the cotton is spun into yarn, the bobbins travel on to a family-owned factory in Portugal that has been weaving bed linens since 1948. There, the yarn becomes our 430 thread count sateen and is organically dyed in its final colour.
In 2020, we decided every Tier-1 factory in our supply chain would sit inside the EU, where worker protections are simply stronger. That's what brought our bed linens to Porto specifically, with an unexpected bonus: Portugal, like Sweden, has phased out coal power entirely.
The finishing happens there too, down to the authentic mother-of-pearl buttons sewn onto every duvet cover by hand. Every piece carries a QR code on its Made-In label, tracing its own path from raw fibre to your door.
So why Juniper?
To recap: 100% long-staple cotton, an optimal thread count, and a classic percale weave, sewn in Portugal
Three things set our sheets apart from ordinary ones, all made in our family-owned factory outside Porto.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How is Juniper different?
We use only 100% long-staple cotton, woven into a 300 thread count percale at a family-owned factory in Portugal that has made bed linens since 1948. We sell direct, so you get a hotel-grade sheet without the hotel-supplier markup.
Can I choose a different colour for each piece?
Yes. Sheets, duvet covers and pillowcases all come in the same range of colours, so you can mix and match however you like, whether you buy them as a set or piece by piece.
How do I care for it?
Machine wash warm, tumble dry low. It softens with every wash.
For how long will it last?
With proper care, expect more than five years of daily use. Keeping two sets per bed and rotating them extends the life of each set to around ten years.
What if I'm not happy with my new bed linens?
Every order comes with our try-and-sleep guarantee: make the bed, sleep on it, even wash it, and if you're not happy for any reason, return it within 30 days of your order date for a full refund. We're that confident you'll love your new Juniper bed linens.
Is delivery free, and can I exchange my order?
Yes. Delivery is always free, and so are exchanges and returns, whether you want a different colour, a different size, or simply change your mind.
