The best bedsheets to get in kenya

Bedsheets have been used for centuries. The word sheet, meaning length of cloth, is attested by mid-13c. as a “large square or rectangular piece of linen or cotton spread over a bed” Fitted sheets are a much more recent innovation. In the 1950’s African American Bertha Berman made a patent application for a fitted sheet that used elastic on the corners to help keep it in position. Further innovation came later when Gisele Jubinville, of Alberta in Canada, created a fitted sheet with deep mitred edges, which acted like a pocket for the mattress corners and that had elastic sides. She was granted a patent in the early 1990’s and shortly after sold it for $1 million dollars.

You probably guessed most of this even if vaguely.

bedsheet Styles

Bed sheets come in two main varieties: flat and fitted. A flat sheet is simply a rectangular sheet of cloth, while a fitted bedshsheet has four corners, usually fitted with elastic and is used as a bottom sheet. The purpose of a fitted bottom sheet is to keep it from slipping off the mattress while the bed is in use. A flat bed sheet does not have elastic and instead is tucked under the mattress or can be used as a top sheet.

In the Kenya, sheets are often sold in a four-piece set consisting of a fitted sheet, a flat sheet and two pillowcases. Some may come with a fitted bedsheet. Use of good quality elastic make fitted bedsheets durable.
