Bed-sheets protect your skin from possible irritations that may lead to an allergic reaction. Since the material used is soft and durable, washing the bed sheets is easy and can be used for extended periods.

Cotton and cotton blends dominate the market, the most common blend being cotton/polyester. Cotton provides absorbency and a soft hand, while polyester adds durability and wrinkle resistance.^[2] Other common fibers used in the manufacturing of bed sheets include linen, silk, Modal and bamboo rayon, lyocell, Microtex or Microfiber, and polypropylene. Polypropylene (olefin) is a hypoallergenic spun-bound material produced at a low cost and typically used in emergency shelters or hospitals as disposable sheeting.

 Silk sheets are known for their luxurious feel and smooth texture. Silk sheets are naturally hypoallergenic and can help regulate body temperature, making them a great choice for those with sensitive skin or allergies.  When choosing silk sheets, look for ones with a higher millimeter weight, which indicates the quality and durability of the silk.  Mummy weights of 19 or higher are considered ideal for silk sheets.
