Your goodnight guide

The sheets you’d usually find in your basic bed linen sheet…

Fitted Sheet – A sheet with elastic edges tailored to fit a particular mattress without slipping off. This serves as the bottom-most sheet.

Flat Sheet – A rectangular sheet of cloth placed over the fitted sheet; also called the top sheet.

Comforter – A fiber-filled quilted bed covering that goes over the top of a mattress but does not cover pillows or hang all the way to the floor.

Duvet or Comforter Cover – A large, protective, and decorative casing for a comforter, usually with ties, snaps, or buttons to close it. It protects your comforter from dirt, and saves you trips to the Laundromat.
