bedcoverings

Sheets and blankets

Bedcoverings are the layers placed over a mattress for warmth and appearance—sheets, blankets, quilts, comforters, and bedspreads.

The term is practical rather than common in everyday speech, appearing more in retail contexts and home furnishings: The store's bedcoverings department is on the third floor.
