Like a car needs tires or a shoe needs a sole, a hospital bed needs sheets.  Hospitals, nursing homes, recovery centers, and family homes all have hospital beds, but trying to find fitted sheets for these beds that have three moving sections, well, it's not that easy.  Because of the heavy use, hospital sheets should be both comfortable for the patient while also being durable and easy to clean.  Sometimes a patient may have allergies or he is bed-bound and needs protection against dust mites and certain hospital sheets can help with this, too.  Hospital bed sheets come in all sizes and colors; some are anti-allergen and some are extra-long to fit all sizes of hospital beds.  Rehabmart has hospital bed sheets and sets that can be bought in a single set for the home environment or come in multiple sets for cost saving prices for facilities such as hospitals and nursing homes.  The following are some examples of the types of hospital bed sheets or sets offered by Rehabmart.

       The Invacare Sleep-Knit Fitted Hospital Bed Sheets and Pillowcase is a patented design specifically made for hospital beds and don't pop off or bunch up even when the head or foot sections of the bed are raised.  These 100% cotton, special knit construction, 2-way stretch sheets are comfortable, smooth and wrinkle-free.  The bottom contoured sheet has "envelope" design corners that firmly wrap around the mattress for that secure fit that will not slip off.  The semi-fitted top sheet has two contoured corners to keep the bed tidy with that 'hospital corners' look, and features a "Foot-Ease" fold at the end of the sheet to provide extra foot room to help reduce pressure on the heels.

       Allergist recommended, the Zip and Block Anti-Allergen Bedding is a breathable, luxuriously silky smooth microfiber fabric which offers an undetectable protection against dust mites.  These exceptionally strong, specially formulated fabric sheets can be used on regular or hospital beds alike.  Made of tightly woven yarns that block out allergen molecules of less than 3.03 microns, these sheets also allow air and moisture to pass through freely, securing the comfort of the patient.

       The Bed-in-a-Bag by Invacare is perfect for home hospital beds.  The set includes the unique two-way stretch, cotton polyester blend jersey knit fitted bottom sheet, top sheet, pillowcase and a preshrunk cotton blend thermal blanket which provides warmth and comfort.

       For those who suffer from Asthma, Eczema, and other dust-related allergies and who are not real big fans of dust mites, the PrimaCare Allergy Relief Bedding is the perfect solution.  Get a needed healthy and restful sleep with these sheets and the PrimaCare Economy Mattress Cover.  The mattress cover is made with six-gauge heavyweight waterproof vinyl and has a brushed silk finish, and features an anti-microbial treatment to help prevent growth of mold, mildew and other odor causing bacteria.

       A good product for home or a medical facility is the Fire Retardant Soft Skin Mattress Cover.  Available in a case of twelve, this pliable, elastic sleeve of thin urethane is fitted to the Geo-Matt overlay and will protect the overlay from fluids.

       Great for health care facilities or for personal home use, the BedMates Home Hospital Bedding Set comes in a case of five sets for cost efficiency.  Fitting almost any hospital bed, from manual to full electric beds, each set includes a Jersey knit fitted bottom sheet, a percale top sheet, a percale pillow case, and a cotton thermal blanket.

       Add some color to the environment with these Hospitex Extra Long Flat Sheets for 84 Inch Mattresses . Available in a case of twelve sheets, these sheets are designed for use on extra-long mattresses.  Constructed of high quality T-180 percale fabric and made from domestic cotton into a 50/50 cotton/poly blend, the color choices can brighten up any hospital room or bedroom!
