Answer 1

The flat sheet goes on top of the fitted sheet. You sleep under the fitted sheet. It keeps your comforter or bedspread cleaner longer.

Answer 2

The flat sheet is used as a cover for the blanket that goes on top of it , so you are not in contact with the blanket, more so if its woolen, or made of synthetic fabric like the soft fleecy ones.So you have your normal bed-sheet , then the blanket and over the blanket the flat sheet, the flat sheet then fold over giving the made-up bed an extra sense of comfort!

The number of threads per inch.

Answer 4

Actually, you sleep UNDER the FLAT sheet. The FITTED sheet is the one that fits TIGHTLY over your mattress pad to protect your mattress. The flat sheet is just for layering(nice to toss your bedspread/comforter to the end of the bed on hot nights), and the flat sheet that you sleep UNDER, also protects your bedspread/comforter from getting dirty...
