The debate about pineapple on pizza is surely more fascinating but an even more important and thought provoking question is: are flat sheets better than fitted sheets, or vice versa? What makes the two options stand out from one another and what are their respective pros and cons? Although it can be agreed that its merely a matter of personal preference, it never hurts to dig deeper and learn more about what each option holds.
As evident from the name, fitted sheets come with elasticized corners that tightly grasp the edges of your mattress to cover it directly. With an elastic band sewn into the corners, that ensures a secure fit and remain hugged on to the bed during sleep. They hardly move which not only keeps wrinkles away but also provides a clean sleeping surface. They also serve as a protective layer for your mattress, keeping it safe from from stains and rips. However for a perfect fit, its important to get a fitted sheet with the right dimensions for your mattress.
From the outside, it might only look like a large, rectangular piece of cloth, but a flat sheet is so much more than that. It is an expression of your style, taste and an aesthetic upgrade to the overall decor of your room. Traditionally placed over fitted sheets to provide an extra barrier, it also plays a notable role in keeping temperatures balanced while sleeping. With non-elastic edges, flat sheets are more likely to slip off if you move around in bed, which is why a fold-and-tuck technique is used to maintain their place. They can be replaced more frequently than fitted sheets, and can be played around with according to your mood. Using one does demand more time and manual work but at the end, it all boils down to personal taste.
Making Your Choice
If you're unsure about what of kind of sheet will be the perfect fit for you, you can experiment with both types.
