Generally, the three basic types of sheets for hospital beds are draw sheets, fitted sheets, and flat sheets. Ideally, you will have one of each of these sheet types.

Fitted sheets are the most common type of hospital bed linen, but flat sheets and pillowcases also come in different sizes. The material of the sheets is equally important for comfort and durability. Cotton and cotton blends are commonly used for hospital bedding because they are breathable and soft against the skin.
