The term bed sheet was first used in the 15th century.^[1] Bed sheets were traditionally white and made of cotton, linen or silk, however, now various colors and patterns are used.

 On the other hand, if you have a full-size bed, you will want to look for full-size bed sheets.  These bed sheets are specifically designed to fit slightly smaller full-size mattresses, ensuring a smooth and tailored look.  Just like king-size bed sheets, a sheet set for a full-size bed should include a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and pillowcases to complete the look and provide maximum comfort.
