What Is A Fitted Sheet?


Bed Sheet: A bed sheet is the foundation of your bedding ensemble. This is the fabric layer that lies directly on your mattress, coming in close contact with your skin. You'll find two primary types of bed sheets: the fitted sheet, which snugly covers the mattress with its elastic edges, and the flat sheet, which rests atop the fitted sheet.
