For centuries, sheets were reserved for affluent households. However, the end of the Industrial Revolution produced affordable cotton sheets that were made available and embraced by the middle class.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What did people do before fitted sheets?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the invention of the fitted sheet, an additional flat sheet served as a protective layer between people and their beds. To keep them from fleeing the corners of a mattress, they labored over complicated folding patterns, often referred to as hospital corners. Some wealthy families had the sheets sewn into the mattresses and replaced as needed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who invented the first bed sheet?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first bed sheet was invented in 1000 AD in Cairo, Egypt, by Rashid Sab-Anah. The flaxen material symbolized \u201c light, purity, and prosperity.\u201d It was eerily similar to the fabric used to wrap mummies.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When did humans start using blankets?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As temps drop at night, humans have been seeking warmth under covers since prehistoric times. The earliest evidence points to the use of animal furs or skins to provide heated comfort. Our first known blankets were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smithsonianmag.com\/smart-news\/archaeologists-find-200000-year-old-bedding-south-african-cave-180975592\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unearthed in South Africa<\/a> and date back to 2000 BC <sub>[14]<\/sub>, a sign that weaving blankets was derived as a survival skill predating written documentation.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"487\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva-node-stage.tsc-starts-coding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/history-of-bedding-saatva-linen-sheets.jpg\" alt=\"saatva linen sheets\" class=\"wp-image-34173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/history-of-bedding-saatva-linen-sheets.jpg 730w, https:\/\/blog-staging.saatva.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/history-of-bedding-saatva-linen-sheets-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bedding in the current age: Saatva linen sheets and linen duvet cover<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find the best bedding for you at Saatva<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While we\u2019ve come a long way since scratchy linen fabrics and animal coverings to keep us warm in bed, we can now delight in the pleasure of dressing our beds in high-quality bedding to enhance our sleeping experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing quite says \u201csweet dreams\u201d like a fluffy down quilt or a touch of soft sheets.
