Nowadays fitted bed sheets are used to protect the mattress and make smooth surface for lying. But those seeking truly luxurious sleeping experience and enjoying a traditional way of using bed linen, have to know what flat sheets and fitted sheets were originally used for (and are used, for that matter). Traditionally, fitted sheets cover the mattress - the elastic band holds them firmly in right place. Their function is to protect the mattress and ensure smooth and soft surface for the sleeping person to lie on. When purchasing fitted sheets, it is important to have the right dimensions of a mattress - the length, the width and the thickness. As fitted sheets must pull snugly over the mattress and not be easily pulled off, the right dimensions matter a lot. The wrong size fitted sheet simply will not be able to go neatly round the corners, and will not stay in place.
