bed sheet

Mattress covering cloth

A bed sheet is a large piece of fabric, typically cotton or a cotton blend, used as bedding to cover a mattress or to lie beneath.

Sheets come in pairs: a fitted sheet with elasticized corners that wraps around the mattress, and a flat sheet that goes on top.

I need to wash the bed sheets before the guests arrive.

The term is often shortened to simply sheet when the context is clear.
