Bed Sheets History
In many areas of the world, a second flat bed sheet is laid on top of the sheet covering the mattress. This is known as a “top sheet” and when a top sheet is used, the sheet covering the mattress is known as a “bottom sheet”. One sleeps between the two bed sheets. Blankets, comforters, and other bed covers are then placed on top of the second bed sheet.

How to Prevent Your Bed Sheets From Coming Undone
Fitted bed sheets that slide off the mattress corners can interfere with a good night’s sleep. You wake up and the bottom sheet is piled up around your feet or your head, annoying you enough to get up and fix it. A bed with sheets undone at the foot end also takes longer to make up in the morning, as you need to remove the top bedding to fix the sheet corners. Luckily, there are a few easy solutions to prevent your bed sheets from coming undone.
