bottom sheet

Fitted bed layer

The bottom sheet is the sheet that covers the mattress directly, lying beneath the sleeper.

It may be flat or fitted with elastic corners that grip the mattress.

Distinguished from the top sheet, which goes over the sleeper: I always forget to tuck in the bottom sheet properly.
