Caring for Bed Sheets: Regular washing is vital. Depending on the material, most bed sheets should be washed in warm or cool water with a gentle detergent and either air-dried or tumble dried on a low setting. Avoid harsh chemicals or high heat, as they can break down fibers.
A bedsheet is a rectangular piece of cloth that is placed on top of a mattress. You may get them in several materials, ranging from cotton to linen to silk and more. Bedsheets are available in two styles: fitted and flat. Each serves a particular purpose on the mattress. A fitted sheet has elastic woven into the seam throughout the whole sheet. It is meant to fit down over the corners of the mattress and tuck underneath it for a snug fit. A fitted sheet helps prevent the sheet from slipping off the mattress while the bed is in use. A flat sheet is then placed immediately on top of the mattress. On most beds, it is tucked under the foot of the bed. In most cases, fitted sheets serve as the top sheets, while flat sheets serve as the bottom sheets.
A fitted sheet is different in that the corners are elasticated so that it is not necessary to tuck the sheet under the mattress as the elastic will serve to keep it in place. It is not possible to use a fitted sheet as a top cover because of the elasticated corners.
