 When selecting a hospital sheet set, it is important to consider the specific needs of the patient and the requirements of the healthcare facility.  For example, some patients may be sensitive to certain materials and require the use of hypoallergenic fitted medical bed sheets.  Additionally, the size and dimensions of the hospital bed should be considered to ensure that the medical bed sheets fit correctly and securely.

A duvet cover encases and protects a duvet. Like an envelope, it has an opening where the comforter or duvet is inserted. Once placed inside, the opening is closed with buttons or occasionally a zipper. Duvet covers are generally very decorative and are available in a wide selection of colors and styles. The duvet cover takes the place of a top sheet in Europe, and some people in the U.S. also use it this way.
