- One of the primary functions of medical bed linens is to provide a clean and hygienic surface for patients. By regularly changing and laundering these linens, healthcare facilities can help prevent the spread of infections and illnesses.

The quality of bed sheets is often conveyed by the thread count—the number of threads per square inch of material. In general, the higher the thread count, the softer the sheet, but the weave and type of thread may affect the hand of the material so that a sheet with a lower thread count may actually be softer than one with a higher count. Yarn quality also plays a part in the look and feel of sheets, as finer yarns tend to create a finer sheet fabric. The ply also plays a role in how heavy the sheet feels. Ply represents how many fibers are twisted together as the sheet is being created. A 2 ply 300 thread count sheet will feel heavier than a single ply 600 thread count sheet.
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).
