Rebecca,
Many apologies concerning the reply to your request concerning bedclothes.
I got some signals crossed and thought your query originated from our
Museum's website.  Unfortunately, when I realized my mistake, the message
had already winged its way into the Museum-L site.  Please disregard the
message and I hope that someone can direct you to the answers you are
seeking.
Sorry!

A few questions regarding bedclothes:

1.  when was the fitted sheet invented?

2.  what would have been used as a mattress pad in the 1890s?

3.  A duvet in a duvet cover--would that have been on top of the bed?

Thanks,
Rebecca J. Phipps
