'Cotton tends to be the most popular material for bed sheets, boasting both durability and comfort, but there is a distinct variation in quality, so it pays to do your research,' says Wayfair's resident style Advisor, Nadia McCowan Hill.

Fitted medical bed sheets are also an important part of a hospital sheet set because fitted medical bed sheets are designed to fit securely to the mattress and stay in place, even when the bed is adjusted or moved. This is especially important for electric beds, as the fitted medical bed sheets need to accommodate the movement and positioning of the bed without shifting.
Weave affects the way a sheet looks, feels and its overall durability. Plain weaves, such as Percale sheets, have an equal number of vertical and horizontal yarns woven together. Plain weave sheets are known for their longevity and crisp feel. Sateen sheet weaves are woven with more vertical than horizontal yarns. The higher number of vertical threads gives the sheet ultra softness. Twill weaves are yarns that are woven two over and one under to create a diagonal line on one side of the fabric. These linens tend to be soft and tend to hold their shape well. Jacquard and damask are weaves that have intricate patterns.
'While cotton makes a great choice for bed sheets in either summer or winter, flannel and brushed cotton are excellent options if you are looking for something a little bit more toasty, soft and cozy,' says Nadia.
