top sheets
Uppermost bedding layer
A top sheet is the flat sheet placed between the sleeper and the blanket or comforter, as opposed to the fitted sheet that covers the mattress.
Whether to use one is a matter of some debate: I don't bother with a top sheet—I just wash the duvet cover.
Hotels almost universally use them.
