Abstract

A bedding system for a mattress includes a mattress cover. The mattress cover has an exterior surface, an interior compartment and an opening sized and shaped to allow insertion of the mattress into the cover. The opening is preferably reclosable. The cover is sized and shaped to receive the mattress inside it such that when the covering material snugly envelopes the mattress, it follows the contours of the sides and panels of the mattress. The mattress cover includes a plurality of cover fasteners disposed along a first side portion, a second side portion, a head portion and a foot portion. The system includes a first sheet with a plurality of sheet fasteners that engage the plurality of cover fasteners. When the sheet is overlaid onto the mattress cover and each of the sheet fasteners engages one of the plurality of cover fasteners, the edges and panels of the sheet aligns with the panels of the mattress. A second sheet includes fasteners at least along one edge that allows the second sheet to attach to the first sheet.

Claims (17)

1. A bedding system for a mattress, the mattress having a top panel, a bottom panel, a head panel, a foot panel, a first mattress side panel extending from the head panel to the foot panel and a second mattress side panel extending from the head panel to the foot panel, each of the panels of the mattress having a surface contour, the bedding system comprising:

a mattress cover, the mattress cover having a covering material with an exterior surface, an interior compartment defined by the covering material and an opening allowing access to the interior compartment;

the opening being sized and shaped to allow insertion of the mattress into the interior compartment of the mattress cover;

the mattress cover being sized and shaped to receive the mattress inside it such that when the mattress is inserted into the interior compartment of the mattress cover, the covering material envelopes the mattress so that a first side portion of the mattress cover is adjacent to and follows the surface contour of the first mattress side panel; a second side portion of the mattress cover is adjacent to and follows the surface contour of the second mattress side panel; a head portion of the mattress cover is adjacent to the head panel of the mattress; and a foot portion of the mattress cover is adjacent to the foot panel of the mattress;

the mattress cover including a plurality of cover fasteners disposed along the first side portion; the second side portion; the head portion; and the foot portion;

a first sheet, the first sheet including a first plurality of sheet fasteners, each of the sheet fasteners complementarily engaging one of the plurality of cover fasteners;

the first sheet further including a head edge, a foot edge, a first side sheet panel and a second side sheet panel; and

when the mattress is inserted into the interior compartment of the mattress cover, the first sheet is overlaid onto the mattress cover and each of the first plurality of sheet fasteners complementarily engages one of the plurality of cover fasteners:

the head edge of the first sheet is adjacent to the head portion of the mattress cover and aligns with the head panel of the mattress;

the foot edge of the first sheet is adjacent to the foot portion of the mattress cover and aligns with the foot panel of the mattress;

the first side sheet panel overlays the first side portion of the mattress cover and aligns with the first mattress side panel; and

the second side sheet panel overlays the second side portion of the mattress cover and aligns with the second mattress side panel;

the first sheet having an upper side and including a second plurality of sheet fasteners affixed to the upper side of the first sheet;

a second sheet having head edge, a foot edge and an underside, the second sheet further including a third plurality of sheet fasteners affixed to the underside of the second sheet;

each of the second plurality of sheet fasteners being releasably engageable with one of the third plurality of sheet fasteners; and

when the second sheet is overload on top of the first sheet and each of second plurality of sheet fasteners on the upper side of the first sheet is connected to one of the third plurality of sheet fasteners on the underside of the second sheet, the foot edge of the second sheet is adjacent to the foot edge of the first sheet.

2. The bedding system of claim 1 wherein the opening is re-sealable.
