Fitted medical bed sheets are also an important part of a hospital sheet set because fitted medical bed sheets are designed to fit securely to the mattress and stay in place, even when the bed is adjusted or moved.  This is especially important for electric beds, as the fitted medical bed sheets need to accommodate the movement and positioning of the bed without shifting.

According to Parachute, brushed cotton is 'ideal for people who love the classic look of percale but want something a little softer and cozier. The fabric also appeals to those who like sateen but prefer a slightly lighter material. Not too hot, not too cool, undeniably snuggly and lightweight with a tasteful appearance, brushed cotton bedding checks all the boxes, making it a top choice for year-round use'.
