fitted sheets

Snug mattress covers

Fitted sheets are bed linens with elasticized corners designed to wrap snugly around a mattress.

Unlike flat sheets, they stay in place during sleep.

The elastic edges that make them secure also make them notoriously difficult to fold neatly: I've given up trying to fold fitted sheets properly.
