AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0017]Among other things, this new and improved box spring cover performs the functions of a conventional bed skirt while being easy enough for one person to position on a box spring without having to remove the mattress from the box spring, and which does not need to be readjusted each time that the bedding is adjusted (e.g., changing the sheets, making the bed, etc.).

Problems solved by technology

Removing a mattress from a box spring can be very difficult, especially for one person, because of the large size and weight of the mattress.

Maintaining a conventional bed skirt in a desired position between a mattress and a bed skirt can also be a challenge.

Various modifications to the conventional bed skirt have been designed, however, none of these modifications have resulted in a decorative box spring cover that is easy enough for one person to position on a box spring without having to remove the mattress from the box spring, and that does not need to be readjusted each time the bedding is adjusted (e.g., changing the sheets, making the bed, etc.).

This in turn could lead to a significant amount of fabric loosely, unevenly and undesirably, hanging from the side of a smaller sized bed.

Not only could such looser fit be less aesthetically pleasing, but any loosely hanging fabric would be more likely to require readjustment each time the bed is made or the bed sheets or blankets are changed.
