Walter Reed Medical Center Twin Bed Sheet

Walter Reed Twin Sheet

This twin bed sheet is US Army issue linen from Walter Reed Medical Center, the Army's hospital in Washington, D.C. It fits a standard twin mattress, so it works on a spare bed, a bunk or a cabin cot frame of that size. Collectors of military medical items and reenactors staging a ward or barracks scene get a piece with real institutional history behind it.

Features

• Twin Size — Cut for a standard twin bed, the single-sleeper size common in dorms, bunks and guest rooms.
• Cotton-Polyester Blend — Cotton gives a soft, breathable feel against the skin, and the polyester adds strength and helps the fabric resist wrinkling.
• US Army Issue — Supplied for use in an Army facility, so this is government-issue bedding rather than retail linen.
• Walter Reed Provenance — Tied by name to Walter Reed Medical Center, one of the best-known names in American military medicine.
• Dusty Pink Color — A muted pink-mauve shade that differs from the white and olive drab most people expect from military bedding.
• Stitched Hems — White contrast stitching finishes the hemmed edges in a straight, even line.
• Collector And Reenactor Use — Suits displays of military medical history and period hospital or barracks setups.

Hospital Issue Bedding

The sheet is made from a cotton and polyester blend, the type of fabric hospitals choose for linen that goes through the laundry over and over. Its plain dusty pink body and white-stitched hems reflect the practical, no-frills specification of institutional bedding. As original Army-issue linen from Walter Reed, it gives you authentic provenance that a generic sheet cannot.
