Bed sheet system
A system and method of changing a sheet for a mattress of a bed is provided. More specifically, a bedding system includes a retention element sized to be retained on the mattress. A first bedding element is selectively interconnected to the retention system. Optionally, a second bedding element may be interconnected to the first bedding element. In one embodiment, at least one two-part closure interconnects the first bedding element to the retention element. In another embodiment, buttons interconnect the second bedding element to the first bedding element. In yet another embodiment, at least one two-part closure interconnects the second bedding element to the first bedding element. The two-part closure may be a zipper, a plurality of snaps, and a hook and loop system. In one embodiment, the retention element is removably interconnected to the mattress by at least one fastener or closure.
1. A bedding system, comprising:
a retention element adapted to fit on a mattress;
a first bedding element interconnected to the retention element, the first bedding element comprised of an upper edge, a lower edge spaced from the upper edge, and first and second peripheral edges interconnecting ends of the upper edge and the lower edge, the first bedding element including a first aperture located near an intersection of the first peripheral edge and the bottom edge, and a second aperture associated with an intersection of the second peripheral edge and the bottom edge;
a second bedding element selectively interconnectable to the first bedding element and comprised of an upper edge, a lower edge spaced from the upper edge, and first and second peripheral edges interconnecting ends of the upper edge and the lower edge, the second bedding element including a third aperture associated with an intersection of the first peripheral edge and the bottom edge, and a fourth aperture associated with an intersection of the second peripheral edge and the bottom edge, wherein the distance between the first and second peripheral edges of the second bedding element is greater than the distance between the first and second peripheral edges of the first bedding element;
wherein the first aperture and the third aperture are selectively alignable, and wherein the second aperture and the fourth aperture are selectively alignable; and
a first interconnection device configured to interface with the first aperture and the third aperture and a second interconnection device configured to interface with the second aperture and the fourth aperture to interconnect the second bedding element to the first bedding element, and to locate the upper edge of the first bedding element near the upper edge of the second bedding element, and to drape the first and second peripheral edges of the second bedding element over the first and second peripheral edges of the first bedding element.
2. The bedding system of claim 1 , wherein the bottom edge of the second bedding element is draped over the bottom edge of the first bedding element when the first bedding element is interconnected to the second bedding element such that the second bedding element substantially conceals the first bedding element.
3. The bedding system of claim 1 , wherein the bottom edge of the second bedding element is draped over the bottom edge of the first bedding element when the first bedding element is interconnected to the second bedding element such that the second bedding element substantially conceals the first bedding element and the retention element.
4. The bedding system of claim 1 , wherein the first interconnection device and the second interconnection device comprise a first head interconnected to a second head by a shank, wherein the shank of the first interconnection device fits within the first aperture and the third aperture, and wherein the shank of the second interconnection device fits within the second aperture and the fourth aperture.
5. The bedding system of claim 1 , wherein the second bedding element includes a first slot extending from the intersection of the first peripheral edge and the bottom edge and a second slot extending from the intersection of the second peripheral edge and the bottom edge.
6. The bedding system of claim 1 , wherein the first bedding element is selectively interconnected to the retention element.
7. The bedding system of claim 1 , wherein the first bedding element is a top sheet and the second bedding element is a duvet.
8. A bedding system, comprising:
a retention element adapted to fit on a mattress;
a first bedding element interconnected to the retention element, the first bedding element comprised of an upper edge, a lower edge spaced from the upper edge, and first and second peripheral edges interconnecting ends of the upper edge and the lower edge, the first bedding element including a first aperture located near an intersection of the first peripheral edge and the bottom edge, and a second aperture associated with an intersection of the second peripheral edge and the bottom edge;
a second bedding element selectively interconnectable to the first bedding element and comprised of an upper edge, a lower edge spaced from the upper edge, and first and second peripheral edges interconnecting ends of the upper edge and the lower edge, the second bedding element including a third aperture associated with an intersection of the first peripheral edge and the bottom edge, and a fourth aperture associated with an intersection of the second peripheral edge and the bottom edge, wherein the distance between the first and second peripheral edges of the second bedding element is greater than the distance between the first and second peripheral edges of the first bedding element;
wherein the first aperture and the third aperture are selectively alignable, and wherein the second aperture and the fourth aperture are selectively alignable;
a first interconnection device configured to interface with the first aperture and the third aperture and a second interconnection device configured to interface with the second aperture and the fourth aperture to interconnect the second bedding element to the first bedding element, and to locate the upper edge of the first bedding element near the upper edge of the second bedding element, and to drape the first and second peripheral edges of the second bedding element over the first and second peripheral edges of the first bedding element;
wherein the bottom edge of the second bedding element is draped over the bottom edge of the first bedding element when the first bedding element is interconnected to the second bedding element, wherein the second bedding element substantially conceals the first bedding element; and
wherein the first interconnection device and the second interconnection device comprise a first head interconnected to a second head by a shank, wherein the shank of the first interconnection device fits within the first aperture and the third aperture, and wherein the shank of the second interconnection device fits within the second aperture and the fourth aperture.
9. The bedding system of claim 8 , wherein the first bedding element is a sheet and the second bedding element is a duvet.
