Continue reading this blog in which we shall enumerate the many benefits fitted bed sheets provide to you. The right choice of bed sheets will enhance your quality of sleep and consequently your peace of mind.

Gifts of Fitted Bed sheets: There are many advantages fitted bed sheets enjoy over regular bed sheets because of how they are designed. They can be slipped on the mattress with comfort and they are designed in a manner that ensures respite of changing and cleaning. Below are a few points that highlight the benefits of using fitted bed sheets!

Mattress Protection: This is number one. A fitted sheet protects the mattress underneath much more effectively than a traditional bed sheet. Fitted sheets are made of materials that ward off stains and spills, thereby protecting the mattress from everyday wear and tear. 

Fitted sheets are more secure on a mattress compared to flat sheets because they have elastic corners that grip the mattress tightly. This helps prevent the sheet from slipping or bunching up during sleep, providing a smoother and snugger fit. 

You can top the fitted sheet with a flat one over it which is made of more skin-friendly materials like cotton, silk or flannel as this is the layer that will come in contact with the skin.

Looks Extremely Tidy: Because of the elastic bands across the seam and the corners of the sheet, the mattress slips in it like a hand in a glove. As a consequence of this, the resulting mattress wrapped in the fitted sheet is a treat for the eyes to look at. 

It looks extremely tidy and neat with no tangles. The sheet stays on the mattress in place until you remove it yourself. Moreover if you have to clean the surface, it is very convenient and easy to do so as you can just sweep the top with ease.

Nothing like a nice, smooth-looking bed. Right?

Convenient and Less Time Consuming: When it comes to changing the sheets, it is much easier to do so with a fitted bed sheet than it is to do with a flat one. It saves you the effort of getting different corners tucked in and struggling with it. In a flat sheet, you need to fold the sheet to adjust it according to the size of your mattress. 

This struggle is intensified further if the configuration of your bed is bigger and you have, say a king or queen size bed. This problem is especially aggravated in households that have children because the children jump on beds and tug on bed sheets. This would cause any disproportionate bed sheet to fall off and get very wrinkly but not a fitted one.

Ease of changing: A fitted bed sheet is designed to fit the size of your mattress. The hemmed corners of the sheet slip underneath the mattress with perfection and ease, thus saving your valuable time. Since they needn’t be tucked in, fitted bed sheets can be removed very easily, whenever required. All one has to do is pull them gently. After this, the new sheet can be put on the mattress quite easily giving your bed a new look and feel.

Improves your Sleep Quality: One of the primary benefits of a fitted sheet is that since it is fixed upon the mattress, it doesn’t get affected by the movements you make in bed while asleep. This means that irregularities are not formed on the surface of the bed and it remains flat and smooth. Due to this, you can enjoy a disturbance-free sleep as folds are not formed on the surface where you are sleeping.

Safer to use with children: Many of the accidents related to children that end up with them getting hurt happen on and around the bed. Children are playful by nature and as parents we want to let them be. So we need to find ways to keep them protected without interfering with their natural disposition to be creative and gleeful.

Since the borders of a fitted sheet are pretty well-defined, the child while playing has an idea where to stop if needed. This is something that they can easily miss out on in a flat bed sheet. The flat bed sheets get disturbed easily and therefore hang out around the edge of the bed. This creates an illusory dimension for the bed making it a little dangerous for kids playing on the bed as they can fall down to the floor and get injured.

Good if you use them in Business: If you are a hotel owner or are managing one, then you know that sometimes it can be very demanding to get a room ready in time. While getting the toiletries replaced or refilled and making room checks is one, making the bed is also a hard task. You can use fitted bed sheets to make this process more convenient and less time consuming. This in turn translates into efficiency and more business which means more monetary gain and an increase in your business reputation as well. 

Fitted bed sheets are available in many sizes like king size or queen size, single bed size or the usual double bed size. 

ADDITIONAL TIPS 

Taking proper care of your fitted bed sheet will prolong its life and make it last longer. Follow these additional tips that will help you in maintaining the durability and comfort of your fitted bed sheet.

Avoid eating on the bed: Eating on the bed opens up the risk of causing stains on your bed sheet. When things like ketchup and oils spill onto the bed sheet, they leave a dirty stain which is then very difficult to wash off. Even the efforts made to get rid of the stain leave the bed sheet beaten up and affect its quality. So it is better to avoid this habit of eating in bed.

Wash them properly: By properly, we mean that try not to stuff many other clothes along with your sheet if you are using a washing machine. Also before putting the sheet onto the mattress, make sure it is completely dry and no part of it is moist. Drying them out in the natural sun is also a recommended task.

Use them only as sheets: You should use fitted bed sheets for their intended purpose only and not as a blanket or for other uses. This has the potential to reduce the life of the product. Each product is designed with its usage in mind and it is this use that should be kept in mind while using the product.
