Fitted sheets have the potential to wear out more quickly than other bedding elements for a few reasons: 1. The elastic sewn on the edges create more stress on the fabric, especially when the fabric is being stretched across the mattress repeatedly. 2. The weight of our bodies shifting while sleeping creating friction on the fabric, causing wear.

Maintaining Bed Linens: Similar care should be given to other bed linens. Duvet covers and pillowcases usually follow the same washing guidelines as bed sheets. For items like quilts or bed skirts, follow the specific care instructions, as they might require different treatment.
