Wholesale Hospital Bed Sheets

Most hospitals use Twin XL (39" x 80") mattresses, but sizes vary by bed type (standard, bariatric, specialty). Always measure the mattress width, length, and depth.

Yes—hospital mattresses are often deeper and used with wedges/overlays, so fitted sheets with extra-deep pockets and strong elastic stay on better.

For healthcare settings, cotton-poly blends (e.g., 50/50) are popular because they’re durable, wrinkle-resistant, and tolerate frequent hot washing. For comfort-focused care, 100% cotton can feel softer but may wear faster.

Microfiber can be soft and affordable, but in clinical settings it may be less ideal if you need high-heat laundering or strict infection-control protocols. Check your facility’s laundering requirements.

Hospitals typically prioritize durability over luxury. A practical range is 180–300 for blends and cotton. Higher thread counts can feel nicer but don’t always last longer in industrial washing.

Yes—hospital sheets are designed for frequent commercial laundering, quick bed changes, and compatibility with medical mattresses and rails. They’re often more durable and standardized in sizing.

In hospitals, sheets are commonly changed daily or when soiled, and immediately after contamination (bodily fluids, isolation precautions). Home care varies, but at least weekly is a common baseline.

Sometimes, but depth and movement can cause slipping. If the mattress is deep or has an overlay, use hospital-grade or deep-pocket Twin XL fitted sheets.

A draw sheet is a smaller sheet placed across the middle of the bed. It helps with repositioning a patient and protects the bed from moisture/soiling.

The sheet itself usually isn’t waterproof; instead, facilities use waterproof mattress protectors or incontinence pads/underpads to protect the mattress while keeping comfort.

They can be helpful as part of a broader hygiene program, but they don’t replace proper cleaning, laundering, and infection-control practices. Look for credible testing/standards from the supplier.

Focus on: correct mattress dimensions, deep pockets, soft-but-durable fabric, easy laundering, and extras like draw sheets and waterproof protectors for incontinence support.
