Branford, CT - April 23, 2025 - The age-old question of whether to use a top sheet continues to spark discussions among bedding enthusiasts. In a recent article by Homes & Gardens, experts from various luxury bedding brands, including Mulberry Park Silks, shared their insights on this topic.

Kendra Cosenza, Brand Manager at Mulberry Park Silks, highlighted the evolving preferences of modern sleepers:

“In recent years, the top sheet has become something of a relic,” says Kendra Cosenza, Brand Manager at Mulberry Park Silks. “A lot of modern sleepers prefer fitted sheets and duvets, skipping the top sheet entirely. Others, however, love the hotel-like polish it brings to their sleep space.”

She further noted the varied reasons behind this shift, from discomfort with the tucked-in feel to concerns about overheating. However, she also acknowledged that some hot sleepers opt to use just a flat sheet, foregoing the comforter entirely.

While traditionalists favor the crisp, breathable feel of a flat sheet-especially in silk for a truly indulgent sleep-many of today's shoppers appreciate the simplicity of a streamlined bed. Top sheets, similar to bed skirts, are sometimes seen as charming holdovers from a bygone era. At Mulberry Park Silks, we celebrate personal preference and invite you to choose what brings you the most comfort.

Top Sheet Pros:

Adds a layer of gentle luxury between you, your fitted sheet and your comforter
Helps keep duvets, duvet covers and blankets cleaner for longer
Ideal for sleepers who seek the perfect blend of comfort and temperature flexibility. The flat sheet provides an extra layer but usually won't cause you to overheat. (unless it's made of polyester or microfiber)
Many brands do not offer a la carte sheet options and flat sheets are generally included with a sheet set

Top Sheet Cons:

Flat sheets that are not properly tucked can tangle ( especially for active sleepers.)
Adds another piece to wash and manage. Forgoing the top sheet, limits the number of bed sheets that need to be washed
Microfiber and other synthetic flat sheets can l
sically, if you prefer not to feel swaddled or you like to give your feet some air in the wee hours of the morning, a flat sheet is not for you.
