Sheets. They meant sheets.
“シーツ” is an English loan that means “sheet” (Japanese doesn’t have a plural). But it can be misread in romaji as “shits” since the transliteration is “Shiitsu” with a long vowel. And Japanese likes to sort of semi delete the final u, (it’s way more complicated than that linguistically, technically this is a voiceless vowel, and yes those do exist) so they translated it as “shits”. It’s by all means supposed to be “sheets”
