percale
Tight-woven cotton cloth
Percale is a closely woven cotton fabric with a smooth, crisp finish, used primarily for bed sheets.
Percale sheets have a matte appearance and cool feel, distinguished from sateen by their tighter weave and lack of sheen: The hotel uses 300-thread-count percale for all its linens.
