A common issue with microfiber sheets is static electricity.  Due to the synthetic nature of microfiber, static electricity can sometimes build up, causing sheets to cling to your body or feel uncomfortable.  To reduce static, it is recommended to wash microfiber sheets with fabric softener or in the dryer, or use an anti-static spray when making the bed.

 When selecting a hospital sheet set, it is important to consider the specific needs of the patient and the requirements of the healthcare facility.  For example, some patients may be sensitive to certain materials and require the use of hypoallergenic fitted medical bed sheets.  Additionally, the size and dimensions of the hospital bed should be considered to ensure that the medical bed sheets fit correctly and securely.

Blanket Cover
A blanket cover is a very lightweight decorative covering that is layered over a blanket, almost like a decorative top sheet. A blanket cover is often used on hotel beds as the outermost layer over a blanket, protecting the blanket so it won’t need frequent laundering. The fitted sheet, flat sheet, and blanket cover can be pulled off the bed and washed in a single load. Blanket covers are usually poly/cotton blends, requiring very little attentions; no ironing necessary. 

Bedding Material

A term you're sure to come across when shopping for the best bed sheets is 'thread count'. The thread count refers to the number of horizontal and vertical threads per square inch of fabric, and higher thread counts often indicate softer high-end sheets. However, there is a happy medium at around 400-600 thread count that will give you a good balance between quality and price.

As well as keeping you warm, it's also usually machine washable and tumble drier-friendly. The downside? It's likely you'll need a different bed sheet type come summer.

Whilst it is thought that they were used in Norway during the time of the Vikings, the duvet fashion truly spread throughout Europe during the 16^th century.
