Drapes and sheets are fabrics that are most often sold in pairs. You’ll find them in a wide range of widths, lengths, fabrics, colors, and patterns, making them a versatile and popular choice for hospital beds and rooms. They can be likened to curtains with the major difference being that drapes are lined, sometimes with fabric heavy enough to block out all outside light, making them perfect for bedroom use. Drapes (sometimes called draperies) are long enough to reach from the top of the window to the floor, sometimes even puddling a bit beneath the window. Heavy, somewhat stiff fabrics are the norm for drapes, including luxury materials like velvet, damask, or silk.
