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
