To test sheets, a panel of sensory experts assess for
feel and softness.
But even the softest sheet won't do you any good
if it doesn't fit over your mattress.
So to check for fit,
every sheet in our lab task goes straight from its
packaging to a mattress.
To see how much the sheets will shrink,
we measure them, then wash and dry each sheet 25
times.
That's the equivalent to washing every two weeks for a
year.
Then we measure them again.
We also put the sheet back on the mattress to
see whether the corners and.
