flat sheets

Bedding without elastic

Flat sheets are the rectangular pieces of bed linen that lie between the sleeper and the blanket or comforter, as distinguished from fitted sheets, which wrap around the mattress.

Some people skip the flat sheet entirely, sleeping directly under the comforter: I never use a flat sheet—just the duvet.
