Most patients will spend most of their recovery in a hospital bed. There are also patients that are bedridden and will spend most of their lives in a hospital bed so when it comes to buying sheets it is important to buy the right sheets. Comfort is a must for the patient because no matter how great the mattress is if the sheets are not comfortable then the patient is not comfortable.  Hospital bed sheets differ in size from average bed sheets. Although they do not come in the standard twin, full, queen, and king size they are not too hard to find in many stores that carry bed sheets. Around the time the back to school time sales starts it is quite easy to find a variety of sheets and sizes because college students are gearing up to furnish their dorms.  Hospital Bed Sheets In-store The great thing about shopping in a store is that you can physically feel the texture of the sheets. You also instantly have your purchase without waiting on it to ship to your home or office. Stores such as Target, Walmart and Bed Bath and Beyond carry sheets that are size XL which is also called an extra-long twin sheet.
