Percale is a closely woven plain-weave fabric often used for bed covers.

Percale has a thread count of about 200 or higher and is noticeably tighter than the standard type of weave used for bedsheets.

It has medium weight, is firm and smooth with no gloss, and warps and washes very well.

It is made from both carded and combed yarns, and may be woven of various fibers, such as cotton, polyester, or various blends.

Sateen is a fabric made using a satin weave structure but made with spun yarns instead of filament.

The sheen and softer feel of sateen is produced through the satin weave structure.

Warp yarns are floated over weft yarns, for example four over and one under.

(In a weft-faced satin or sateen, the weft yarns are floated over the warp yarns) Standard plain weaves use a one-over, one-under structure.

The long floats produce a surface that is smooth to the touch and reduces light scattering to increase shine.

This weave structure is more susceptible to wear than other weaves.

Flax (Linum usitatissimum), also known as common flax or linseed, is a member of the genus Linum in the family Linaceae.

It is a food and fiber crop cultivated in cooler regions of the world.

The textiles made from flax are known in the Western countries as linen, and traditionally used for bed sheets, underclothes, and table linen.

The oil is known as linseed oil.

In addition to referring to the plant itself, the word "flax" may refer to the unspun fibers of the flax plant.

The plant species is known only as a cultivated plant, and appears to have been domesticated just once from the wild species Linum bienne, called pale flax.

Textile fibers, threads, yarns and fabrics are measured in a multiplicity of units.

A fiber, a single filament of natural material, such as cotton, linen or wool, or artificial material such as nylon, polyester, metal or mineral fiber, or man-made cellulosic fibre like viscose, Modal, Lyocell or other rayon fiber is measured in terms of linear mass density, the weight of a given length of fiber.

Various units are used to refer to the measurement of a fiber, such as: the and (linear mass density of fibers), (fineness of wool fiber), , woolen count, (or Number English (Ne)), (or Number English (Ne)), Number metric (Nm) and (the reciprocal of denier and tex).

Linen is a textile made from the fibers of the flax plant.

Linen is laborious to manufacture, but the fiber is very absorbent and garments made of linen are valued for their exceptional coolness and freshness in hot weather.
