A bottom sheet, or fitted sheet, is the sheet with the elastic edge that fits over your mattress—hence the name bottom or fitted sheet. As today's mattresses have grown much thicker, it's important to check the measurements before buying a fitted sheet to make sure it will stretch all the way over your mattress.


Bed Sheets: The Foundation of Comfort
Made in the same weave as sateen, but usually in a synthetic material like polyester as opposed to cotton, satin bed sheets are perfect for anyone that wants to create a romantic bedroom aesthetic.
A term you're sure to come across when shopping for the best bed sheets is 'thread count'. The thread count refers to the number of horizontal and vertical threads per square inch of fabric, and higher thread counts often indicate softer high-end sheets. However, there is a happy medium at around 400-600 thread count that will give you a good balance between quality and price.
