A method of updating existing screen printing or other manufacturing processing in order to generate sheets and other bedding with marking indicators for proper alignment of the covering on a mattress, and the covering as produced. For a top sheet it would be marked along the top edge of the sheet as well as the body of the sheet which contacts the corners of the mattress at the foot of the bed, and for a fitted bottom sheet the markings would occur at each corner of the sheet which is associated with a corner of the mattress. Optional side indicators located between the corner indicators may also be included. The purpose is to provide a quick and easy identifier for locating the corners of the mattress with the sheet so that the sheet is quickly and easily placed symmetrically upon the mattress the first time.

A bed sheet system and method of assembly includes a fitted sheet configured to fit over a mattress and a top sheet is configured to fit over the fitted sheet, wherein the top sheet is connected to the fitted sheet via an open-ended zipper assembly. A duvet cover may be configured to connect to the top sheet along another open-ended zipper assembly thereby forming an insert area for receiving a duvet insert. A duvet insert is disposed between the top sheet and duvet cover in a final assembly.

A mattress cover, as disclosed herein, comprises a top panel, a skirt, and an elastic band affixed to the skirt bottom end. A first indicator is embossed on the top panel exterior surface to indicate the size and orientation of the cover. A second indicator is imprinted on the elastic band exterior surface to indicate the size of the cover. A third indicator is affixed to the top panel exterior surface to indicate the size and orientation of the cover. At least one of the indicators is preferably color coded to further indicate the mattress cover size. The mattress cover promotes expedited sorting of different sizes of mattress covers in commercial laundering facilities, thus increasing efficiency and productivity. Related methods are disclosed.
