Rebecca,
These are questions that you can probably find the answers to with some
online researching, try Google, Ask Jeeves for example.  Or you might try
contacting the Springfield -Greene County Libraries reference desk.  We
generally handle inquiries concerning historical events in Springfield and
the Ozarks region.
Happy researching!

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
