BED SHEET ASSEMBLY

Abstract

The invention is of an improved mattress assembly and method for applying sheets to a bed mattress, involving partially attached top and bottom sheets for facilitating simulation installation of the two during sheet installation.

Claims

1. A bedsheet assembly comprising: a top sheet; a bottom sheet; wherein said top sheet and said bottom sheet are attached to each other at one or more points adjacent to one each of respective short margins of said top sheet and said bottom.

2. The bedsheet assembly of claim 1 wherein said top sheet and said bottom sheet are attached to each other by stitching.

3. The bedsheet assembly of claim 2 wherein said stitching is substantially continuous and extends over a length corresponding to substantially the entire length of said short margins of said top sheet and said bottom sheet.

4. The bedsheet assembly of claim 1 wherein said top sheet and said bottom sheet are attached to each other along a length of stitching that is oriented substantially parallel to respective said short margins of said top sheet and said bottom sheet.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] FIG. 1 is bottom view of a mattress to which an exemplary sheet assembly of the present inventor's design is affixed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

[0013] Referring to FIG. 1, an exemplary sheet assembly of the present inventor's design is identified generally by the reference number 10. Sheet assembly 10 includes bottom sheet 12 and top sheet 14. Sheet assembly 10 is shown installed on a mattress A, having top and bottom margins B and side margins C.

[0014] Bottom sheet 12 and top sheet 14 are shown in contrasting fabric designs for illustrative purposes only—for ease of distinguishing each other in the figure.

[0015] Bottom sheet 12 is a “fitted sheet” according to conventional design. Bottom sheet 12 (for fitting to most conventional, rectangular mattresses) will include relatively shorter, end (or “top”/“bottom” margins 18, and relatively longer, side margins 20, all of which (because this is a “fitted” sheet, are elasticized).

[0016] Top sheet 14 (likewise for fitting to most conventional, rectangular mattresses) (for fitting to most conventional, rectangular mattresses) will include relatively shorter, end (or “top”/“bottom” margins 22, and relatively longer, side margins 24.

[0017] According to the present inventor's design, bottom sheet 12 and top sheet 14 are attached with stitching 16 (shown in exaggerated form for illustrative purposes only) along one each of their respective margins 18 and 22.

[0018] Contrary to the depiction of FIG. 1, top sheet 14 would, of course, extend over the top side of mattress A (not shown) for conventional use.

[0019] Although the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments, this description is not meant to be construed in a limited sense. Various modifications of the disclosed embodiments, as well as alternative embodiments of the inventions will become apparent to persons skilled in the art upon the reference to the description of the invention. It is, therefore, contemplated that the appended claims will cover such modifications that fall within the scope of the invention.
