Word origin
The word 'sheets' originated from the Old English word 'sceata', which meant a piece of cloth. Over time, it evolved to refer to a larger piece of material, especially paper or fabric. The use of sheets for bedding dates back to ancient times, with evidence of linen sheets being used in ancient Egypt. Today, sheets are an essential part of bedding sets and are commonly made from cotton, linen, or other materials.
