How to Say "bed sheets" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “bed sheets” is “sábanas” — A1 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples
Necesito comprar sábanas nuevas para la cama grande.
I need to buy new sheets for the big bed.
¿Puedes ayudarme a cambiar las sábanas hoy?
Can you help me change the sheets today?
Las sábanas de algodón son muy suaves.
Cotton sheets are very soft.
Always Feminine
The singular form ('sábana') is feminine, so even in the plural, you must use feminine words with it: 'las sábanas blancas' (the white sheets).
Using the Singular vs. Plural
Mistake: “Using 'sábana' when you mean the whole set of sheets (like in English 'sheets').”
Correction: In Spanish, we usually refer to the pair or set, so 'sábanas' (plural) is much more common than 'sábana' (singular sheet).
