cotton

'it may make a sheet' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'heavy weight on a bed' is the wordplay.
'heavy weight' becomes 'ton' (a ton weighs a lot).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a bed' becomes 'cot' (cot is a type of bed).
'ton' after 'cot' is 'COTTON'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for cotton that I've seen before include "Golfing man" , "Soft white substance used to make fabric - in song, Old Man River don't plant it" , "Cloth woven from a plant" , "Source of cloth" , "This wool is a fluffy wadding" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
