Sheeting Fabric

Sheeting fabric is a smooth, lightweight to medium-weight woven fabric traditionally made from cotton or a cotton blend, though it can also be found in polyester, linen, or bamboo versions. It’s designed specifically for making bed sheets and bedding but has broader applications due to its soft, breathable nature. The weave of sheeting fabric is usually plain (one-over-one weave), which gives it a smooth surface and even texture, although satin and percale weaves are also common.
