Conformable bedding arrangement

Abstract

A bed sheet construction assembly utilized in the “making” of a bed mattress while eliminating unnecessary time and confusion therewith, comprising a lower mattress-fitted sheet having a first and a second side portion and a head and a foot portion thereon. The first and second side portions are longer than the head and foot portions. An upper or top sheet has a first and a second side portion and a head and a head and a foot portion thereon. The first and second side portions are longer than the head and foot portions. A notched-out corner is arranged on each side of the foot end of the top sheet. An attachment means is arranged between the lower fitted sheet and the upper or top sheet along their respective foot ends.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] This invention relates to bedding materials and arrangements as they apply to mattresses and the like, and more particularly to unique sheet construction to simplify the method of bed making, and is based upon Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 808,621 filed May 26, 2006, and is incorporated herein by reference. [0003] 2. Prior Art [0004] As those of us who make beds know, that is, those who fold and apply bed sheets onto mattresses, all too often make the mistake of putting the sheets on the wrong end of the bed or have a problem aligning the sheets in an easy manner. This is also typical, with fitted sheets when the lengthwise and widthwise dimensions of the mattress may not be readily discerned by a simple examination, but must be tried and retried at least several times before one may be able to get it right. Since this common procedure is done typically, on a weekly basis, it becomes a rather time consuming ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0014] The notched-out portions of the foot end of the top sheet permit the sides of that top sheet to be easily folded or “tucked” under the mattress in the proper manner. Those notches therefore also visually indicate to foot end of the top sheet. And the attachment means on the fitted sheet easily visually indicate the foot end of the fitted sheet, so as to be easily mated with the foot end of the mattress.

[0015] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the elongated rectangular portion of the top sheet between the notched-out portions has attachment means on both sides thereof. The attachment means on both sides of the elongated rectangular portion between the notched-out sections will permit a further cover or blanket, which has a corresponding attachment means on its foot end, to be easily visualized and attached to the foot end of the top sheet.

[0019] The invention thus comprises a bed sheet construction assembly utilized in the “making” of a bed mattress while eliminating unnecessary time and confusion therewith, comprising: a lower mattress-fitted sheet having a first and a second side portion and a head and a foot portion thereon, the first and the second side portions being longer than the head and foot portions; an upper or top sheet having a first and a second side portion and a head and a foot portion thereon, the first and second side portions being longer than the head and foot portions; a notched-out corner on each side of the foot end of the top sheet; and an attachment means correspondingly arranged between the lower fitted sheet and the upper or top sheet along their respective foot ends. The attachment means preferably comprises a hook and loop arrangement. The notched-out corners may have a first dimension Y at least equal to a height H of its particular appropriate mattress to which the fitted sheet is mated. Each of the notched-out corners preferably has a second dimension X at least equal to a height of its particular mattress to which the appropriate fitted sheet is mated. The dimension X of the notched-out corner is greater to said dimension Y of the notched-out corner, to permit sides of the top sheet to be readily tucked under the sides of the mattress. Each of the notched-out corners may have a dimension X and a dimension Y which is at least equal to a height of its particular mattress to which the fitted sheet is mated. The fitted sheet may has an attachment means arranged along an outwardly facing portion of the head end thereof. The fitted sheet may have an attachment means arranged along an inwardly facing portion of the head end thereof. The fitted sheet may have has an attachment means arranged along both an inwardly and an outwardly facing portion of the head end and the foot end thereof.

[0022] Thus what has been shown is a unique manner of minimizing the often daily or weekly hassle of a bed maker in determining which side or end of the sheets are to go at the foot of a bed. Such a visualizable pre-attachment arrangement also saves storage space and time in selecting the appropriate sheets to be matched or paired with one another when searching for those elusive bedding materials.

Problems solved by technology

As those of us who make beds know, that is, those who fold and apply bed sheets onto mattresses, all too often make the mistake of putting the sheets on the wrong end of the bed or have a problem aligning the sheets in an easy manner.

Since this common procedure is done typically, on a weekly basis, it becomes a rather time consuming event.

Such time consumption is all the more problematical from the prospective of making beds in hotels and motels or hospitals or the like, where time is often short and beds are often plentiful.
