A bedding product in the form of a flat bed sheet ( 36 ) includes a top end ( 38 ), a bottom end ( 40 ), a left side end ( 42 ), and a right side end ( 44 ), with each end including a hem ( 46, 48, 50, 52 ) having an associated interlining. For example, the bottom end hem ( 48 ) defines an elongated interior space ( 60 ). And the interlining, in the form of an elongated strip ( 54 ), is contained in the interior space ( 60 ). The hem ( 48 ), itself, has an inner edge ( 62 ) at the upper surface ( 56 ) of the sheet ( 36 ), and an outer edge ( 64 ) spaced from the inner edge ( 62 ), with the outer edge ( 64 ) also being the bottom edge of the sheet ( 36 ). In addition, the hem ( 48 ) has a free end ( 66 ) that is wrapped around a portion of the interlining strip ( 54 ), near the hem inner edge ( 62 ), and is tucked into the interior space ( 60 ). The interlining strip ( 54 ) is held in position within the interior space ( 60 ) of the hem ( 48 ) by two rows of stitches. The first row of stitches ( 68 ) is near the inner edge ( 62 ), with the stitches ( 68 ) passing through the hem ( 48 ) (including a portion of the free end ( 66 ) and the interlining strip ( 54 ). The second row of stitches ( 70 ) is near the outer edge ( 64 ), with the stitches ( 70 ) passing through the hem ( 48 ) and the interlining strip ( 54 ). The interlining strip ( 54 ) extends generally the length of the hem ( 48 ). The sheet ( 36 ) has a greater resistance to creasing and wrinkling than a conventional bed sheet, without an increase in overall bed sheet costs (e.g., purchase, laundering, and other handling costs), and without sacrificing the comfortable feel of the sheet.
