Flat sheets and fitted sheets serve different purposes and have distinct features:

1. Flat Sheets:

• Flat sheets are rectangular sheets of fabric that lie on top of the mattress and beneath blankets or duvets.
• They are often larger than the mattress to allow for tucking under the mattress and for draping over the sides of the bed.
• Flat sheets are typically folded over the top of the blanket or duvet for a finished look and added warmth.
• They are versatile and can be used alone in warmer weather or with additional layers for added warmth in cooler weather.
• Flat sheets require manual tucking and adjusting to keep them in place on the bed.

2. Fitted Sheets:

• Fitted sheets are designed to fit snugly around the mattress, with elastic edges that hold them securely in place.
• They have elasticized corners that wrap around the corners of the mattress, ensuring a tight and wrinkle-free fit.
• Fitted sheets are convenient and easy to put on and take off the bed, as they stay in place without the need for tucking.
• They provide a smooth and flat surface for sleeping, without the extra fabric that may bunch up or shift during the night.
• Fitted sheets are commonly used as a bottom sheet, with flat sheets or blankets layered on top for added comfort and warmth.
