Polycotton sheets or 'easy care' sheets are made with a blend of man-made polyester (a type of plastic) and cotton. Polycotton bed linen is generally cheap to buy and easy to care for. It dries quickly and doesn't require much ironing.

Also known as a Dust Ruffle, a bed skirt may be used to hide the sides, under storage, and foot of the box spring or bed rails. Skirts can be tailored with simple pleats, or ruffled with undulating gathers.
