Materials for Bed Linens: Bed linens share many of the same materials as bed sheets but also include additional options. Duvet covers, for instance, might use heavier fabrics for extra warmth or distinctive textures for a decorative touch. Pillowcases often mirror the material of bed sheets but can feature additional embellishments or varied textures to enhance the bed's visual appeal.

Researchers say that the term bed sheet was first used in the 15^th century, but it wasn’t until 1959 that the fitted bed sheet was invented, by the American, Bertha Berman.
