Fitted sheets, as we know them today, were popularized in the 1950s by a woman named Bertha B. Palmer, who patented the design in 1959. However, the concept of fitted sheets can be traced back earlier, with various adaptations appearing throughout history. The modern fitted sheet features elastic corners that help it stay in place, significantly improving convenience and usability.
