Choosing a Fabric for Hospital Bed Sheets
Most hospital sheets are made of cotton or a blend of polyester and cotton (polycotton). Cotton and cotton blends are durable enough to be washed and dried dozens of times at high temperatures. They are soft, comfortable, and breathable.
Synthetic fabrics such as nylon and acrylic are not often used for hospital sheets because they are less resistant to frequent washing and drying, easily pilling or even developing holes.
You can use silk sheets and similar fabrics on hospital beds, but their lack of friction may cause safety and comfort issues for patients with limited mobility who cannot easily change position without help.
More exotic fabrics such as bamboo – often a bamboo and rayon mix – can be used on the home hospital bed. They are typically more expensive than cotton sheets, but the fabric is soft, durable, and as breathable as cotton.
The majority of hospital bed sheets are not waterproof. If they become wet or soiled, they should be removed and washed – one reason durability is such an important consideration. To protect the mattress, it is advisable to use a waterproof mattress cover under the sheet. Our range of hospital mattresses can be purchased with an easily removed waterproof cover.
Woven vs. Knitted Fabrics
There are two main ways to make the fabric of a sheet: weaving and knitting. Weaving interlaces two threads going in different directions. Knitting involves intermeshing loops of thread into rows that make up the fabric.
Woven Fabrics
Whether a sheet is woven or knitted affects how it behaves. Woven fabrics are more stable. They don’t stretch as much and are less likely to develop holes or runs. The typical hospital sheet found in healthcare institutions across the world is a woven muslin cotton or polycot ton sheet of a fairly low thread count. These sheets are cheap and durable, although they are not as soft or comfortable as more expensive sheets.
Percale is another woven fabric often used in hospital sheets. It is a higher thread-count fabric – above 180 – and is also made of cotton or a blend of cotton and polyester. Percale sheets are typically softer, more breathable, more comfortable, and more durable than muslin sheets.
Percale sheets are an excellent choice for a home hospital bed sheets, as are other high-quality cotton sheets, including Pima and Egyptian cotton.
In general, knitted fabrics are softer, thicker, and warmer than woven fabrics. They are also more stretchy. It should be noted that the thread count system is not used for knitted sheets. Instead, they are rated according to the weight of the fabric in ounces. Higher weights mean softer, thicker, more durable sheets.
A downside of knitted fabrics is their tendency to snag and develop runs, something that does not affect woven fabrics.
When should you choose a knitted fabric or a woven fabric? Woven fabrics are excellent for standard hospital beds, but there are some circumstances in which knitted fabrics are preferable.
Knitted fabrics can stretch, which makes them less likely to untuck or come loose when adjustable hospital beds are moved up and down. A fitted knitted sheet is an excellent option in this scenario.
If used correctly, fitted sheets made of a knitted material are also a good choice for patients at risk of skin shear or bedsores.
