       12 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein the top portion, the opposing side portions and the opposing end portions are comprised of from about 52% by weight to about 58% by weight cotton and from about 42% by weight to about 48% by weight polyester.  
   
   
       13 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein the top portion, the opposing side portions and the opposing end portions are comprised of about 55% by weight cotton and about 45% by weight polyester.  
   
   
       14 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein the bias binding is comprised of from about 50% by weight to about 60% by weight cotton, from about 38% by weight to about 48% by weight polyester and from about 2% by weight to about 10% by weight spandex.  
   
   
       15 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein the bias binding is comprised of from about 52% by weight to about 58% by weight cotton, from about 41% by weight to about 45% by weight polyester and from about 2% by weight to about 7% by weight spandex.  
   
   
       16 . The method according to  claim 9 , wherein the bias binding is comprised of about 54% by weight cotton, about 43% by weight polyester and about 3% by weight spandex.  
   
   
       17 . A fitted bed sheet, comprising: 
 a sheet body comprised of a knitted material having a blended yarn comprised of about 50% by weight to about 60% by weight cotton and about 40% by weight to about 50% by weight polyester;    a bias binding attached to the sheet body, the bias binding comprised of a first yarn comprised of cotton and polyester and a second yarn comprised of an elastic material, wherein the first yarn and the second yarn are knitted together to form a blend of about 50% by weight to about 60% by weight cotton, about 38% by weight to about 48% by weight polyester and about 2% by weight to about 10% by weight of the elastic material.
