Bed Linen: Bed linen is an umbrella term that encompasses the entire collection of fabric-based bedding components. This includes the bed sheet, but also extends to pillowcases, duvet covers, and sometimes blankets or comforters. Bed linen represents the complete textile outfit of your bed.

Varieties of Bed Sheets: The most common are the flat and fitted sheets. Fitted sheets are designed to fit snugly over your mattress, often featuring elastic edges to secure them in place. Flat sheets, on the other hand, are laid over the fitted sheet and under blankets or duvets. They can also be used alone, especially in warmer climates for a lighter cover.
