What are Sheets and Fitted Sheets? Which is better?

Sheet: A sheet is a layer of textile placed on top of a mattress, usually to cover it, and can be combined with a comforter, comforter, blanket, etc. The bed sheet mainly plays the role of protecting the mattress, preventing stains and sweat from penetrating into the mattress, and prolonging the service life of the mattress. At the same time, bed sheets can also increase the softness and comfort of the bed, making sleep more pleasant.

Fitted Sheet: A fitted sheet is a type of sheet used to cover the entire mattress. It usually has elastic straps or a fixed cord, which can hold the fitted sheet tightly to the mattress and prevent it from slipping. The main function of the fitted sheet is to protect the entire mattress, and to cover the surroundings of the mattress, making the entire bed look neat and beautiful.

Which is better depends on individual needs and preferences:

If you want simple protection for your mattress and prefer to lie directly under your comforter or blanket, a regular sheet may be sufficient for your needs.

If you want your entire bed to look neater and nicer, and you don't like your sheets to slide or twist, a fitted sheet may be better for you as it will better cover the entire mattress and stay in place on the bed.

The best choice depends on your personal preference, and many people also use a flat sheet and fitted sheet for more complete protection and comfort.
