The flat bed sheet, or top sheet, goes between you and your blanket or comforter. It protects the blanket and makes it so you don’t have to wash it as often.

We rounded the best bed sheets for all types of sleepers, based on our own testing. Choose from patterns like percale and sateen and fabrics like cotton or linen.

You don't need a top sheet. They're uncomfortable, inconvenient, and an unnecessary layer between your PJs and duvet cover.
