Bed Sheet: A bed sheet is the foundation of your bedding ensemble. This is the fabric layer that lies directly on your mattress, coming in close contact with your skin. You'll find two primary types of bed sheets: the fitted sheet, which snugly covers the mattress with its elastic edges, and the flat sheet, which rests atop the fitted sheet.

Usually a flat bed sheet is overlocked around the edges to form four seams. One of the seams is wider than the other three and helps with orienting the sheet correctly on the mattress. The wider seam goes at the head end of the mattress. Sometimes the sides do not have seams, but are finished with the selvedge only. When one makes a bed, the patterned or monogrammed side of the top sheet may be placed facing up, or facing down, in which case the top edge may be folded towards the foot of the bed to expose the design.
The weave pattern of bed sheets can also impact their texture and appearance. Common weave patterns include percale (crisp and cool), sateen (soft and silky), and flannel (warm and cozy).
Silk momme - As silk fibres are much thinner in diameter than cotton, momme is used instead of thread count. Momme describes silk’s weight and density. The higher the momm, the more strands of silk per 100 yards of fabric, which means that the silk will be higher quality and more durable. Momme measurements range from 11-momme to 25-momme, with 22-Momme the ideal measurement for the best quality silk bedding or clothing.
