It was during the Renaissance Period when bedding as we know it today was designed. Whilst the poor continued to sleep on hay-covered platforms, the wealthy owned mattresses stuffed with down and wrapped in luxurious materials. Their four-poster beds were covered in embroidered canopies and contained pull-out trundles for maids and personal valets to sleep on. Mattresses were suspended from the bedframes using ropes or straps. They were covered by smart linen sheets and wool blankets. The beds grew more and more lavish for the most wealthy. They became so expensive they were passed down through the family for generations. Reported to spend most of his day in bed, Louis XIV became so obsessed with bedding that he bought 413 beds for the Palace of Versailles. It is understood that he held court daily from his bed.

 To choose bedsheets that won't pill, you have to pay attention to the quality of the fabric as well as the construction of the sheet.  Look for bedsheets with a high thread count, as this indicates a tighter weave and helps prevent pilling.  Also consider the ply count of the fabric, which refers to the number of yarns that are twisted together to form a single thread.  Single-layer fabrics are generally smoother and less prone to pilling than multi-layer fabrics.

 Fitted medical bed sheets are also an important part of a hospital sheet set because fitted medical bed sheets are designed to fit securely to the mattress and stay in place, even when the bed is adjusted or moved.  This is especially important for electric beds, as the fitted medical bed sheets need to accommodate the movement and positioning of the bed without shifting.
