Purpose of flat sheet for the readers of Ratnesh K.M.; People don’t want to use a flat sheet along with a fitted sheet. And due to this Flat sheet vs fitted sheet conflict dealers and seller have started selling Flat sheet only. That is fine but you should know all about flat sheet vs fitted sheet and purpose of flat sheet.

Having an Extra Layer of Softness and comfort.

People think that using a top sheet is like putting an extra layer on the bed but it is not like that. If we use a flat sheet it means we have an extra layer of comfort and softness on our bed. It is a sign of luxury bedding.

Having a Complete Sheet Set.

As some Americans have stopped using the flat sheet so dealers and retailers of America have started selling flat sheet only separately. They do not add a flat sheet in the sheet set. I’ve discussed with some bedding seller and experts, according to their opinion ‘not having a flat sheet in sheet set means having incomplete sheet set.’ Also, it is a sign of having a complete sheet set.

Reducing the Frequency of Washing Duvet.

When you use a flat sheet along with a fitted sheet, it doesn’t let get your duvet dirty soon. So you don’t have to wash your duvet again and again frequently. If you wash your duvet frequently your duvet will get dull soon and unfortunately, you will have to replace your duvet with a new one. We use top sheet between fitted or duvet this way it protects duvet so it also called as duvet protecting layer. This is also a purpose of flat Sheet.

Using Flat Sheet in Hot Nights.

Duvet or duvet cover is heavy material we cannot use heavy bedding accessories during hot nights but top sheet is the best option because due to lightweight it is breathable and it passes hot air out in case of duvet or comforter it becomes hotter. We can use a flat sheet only then.

Reducing the Burden of Laundry.

We can wash flat sheets with regular clothes in the machine. It doesn’t get that heavy after getting wet as duvet or comforter become. Washing comforter and duvet is heavy work of washing but in case of a flat sheet or top sheet it is so easy and it is the advantage of it that we can wash it in the washing machine. We can wash flat sheet many times because it is easy but duvet or comforter washing is heavy so, start using flat sheet protect your duvet or comforter reduce the burden of laundry.

Reusing Old Sheets.

There are many ways in which we can re-purpose flat sheets. Like if we have old sheets we can make Pajama Pants, Curtains, Fabrics Gift Wrap I have given it in my old blog. It is not useless if your flat sheet has got old.
