Percale (Turkish: perkal) is a closely woven plain-weave fabric with a matte, smooth face, used mostly in cotton sheets and duvet covers. It is a structure name, not a fiber, and sources give no common thread count threshold.
Ranforce is a trade name, widely used in Turkey, for a matte plain-weave fabric, mostly cotton, used in duvet cover sets and sheets. It has no standard definition; thread count and fiber content vary by seller.
Terry cloth is an absorbent woven fabric with uncut loops (pile) on its surface, woven from a ground warp, a pile warp and a weft. It is widely used for towels, bathrobes and beachwear.
