Researchers say that the term bed sheet was first used in the 15th century, but it wasn’t until 1959 that the fitted bed sheet was invented, by the American, Bertha Berman.
Research and development in textiles have also witnessed breakthroughs. Textiles incorporating nanotechnology demonstrate outstanding properties in warmth, breathability, and other aspects, offering consumers a more comfortable wearing experience. Simultaneously, the development of smart textiles, embedding sensors into clothing, allows real-time monitoring of individuals' health conditions, opening new possibilities for health management.
Percale:Percale is one of the most commonly used weaves for sheets. Also sometimes known as a plain weave, percale is a one yarn over, one yarn under weave. That means the warp (lengthwise threads) and weft (horizontal threads) will be equal in number.
