Explanation:
Linen or linens is used to refer to cloth (usually in a sheet type form) used for the bedroom, kitchen or dining room or others such household uses. It does not mean linen, as in the cloth made from flax, but instead refers to the use of the cloth, which is usually cotton.

Percale refers to a type and density of weave which gives a smooth and silky finish adding to the comfort of its use, especially in bed sheets.
