Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the matter is not known something like a "mattress case" the closest thing is what is known as "adjustable sheets".
Until about two decades ago, in commerce and in our homes, we had these rectangular pieces that were used to cover the mattresses of daily use (in hotels, almost exclusively, they are still used in this way) then these "sheets" appeared "They have a rounded shape and elastic at the four corners and they require additional products to keep them fixed in place.
The problem is that:

1. You can not choose, now this is the only thing that is in the commerce
2. They are short, they leave the sides of the mattress.
3. Due to the fact that they are so short they leave the corners while you sleep and in the morning you feel annoyed and the bed is totally messy.
4. They wrinkle in the center causing great wear in the central area,
5. Difficult to iron and fold, therefore to store, on the internet they offer courses to learn how to to bend them.

Currently known in the subject are the "adjustable sheets" consisting of a rectangular sheet with elastics in the four corners that require additional products to stay in place.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The mattress case consists of a rectangle of gender that completely covers the mattress, closing tightly by one of the long sides with zippers, snaps, buttons or ribbons, in both sides that give the headboard as to the feet they bend inwards to keep the girdle fixed and the bed tidy at bedtime. Since it has two sides (Side "A" the top of the mattress and Side "B" that faces the ground] after having used the "A" side for a few days, you can turn the mattress or the mattress case to use it another couple of days on Side "B" before washing it.
Revised information about how often sheets are changed in hotels, it is said that on average it is done every three days, when used on both sides will considerably reduce the consumption of water and detergents.
This mattress case also has a countertop also with double face, to turn it when using the mattress case by the side B.
This product aims to solve the discomfort that produces the current alternative, and also the " mattress case " has many additional benefits:

1. Give an alternative purchase.
2. When the mattress is completely covered, it does not come off the sides, as a consequence you will only worry about getting a good night's sleep.
3. The bed remains tidy, when you wake up, and you will only need a small adjustment to get ready.
4. It does not wrinkle, it will give you greater comfort when sleeping
5. The garment does not wear unevenly.
6. They are easy to iron, fold and store, it has the advantage that by not presenting gathers or elastic bands the sheet is completely rectangular, allowing its fast and perfect folding, unlike the low sheets with rubber bands in the corners, whose finish after bending it is not adequate. In addition its straight forms, eliminating the puckering and irregular folds of the adjustable lower sheets, allows its easy and correct ironing.
7. It will allow you to save water and detergents, since you can use it by both sides will not have to wash it so often, which is a great advantage in our days.
8. Because it should not be introduced under the mattress every day, it will help those who make many beds every day with the movement of the wrists, and will help protect the musculoskeletal system (tendonitis).
9. It will change your awakening and mood for the day, you will not have to fight with your children to make your bed, and it will not take anything to leave yours ready in the morning.
10. It has several alternatives for closing: buttons, elastics, zippers, ribbons, velcro, brooches.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

A preferred but not limiting embodiment of the invention of the mattress case consists of a piece of textile or similar of general rectangular constitution that completely covers the mattress, closing adjusted by one of the sides with fasteners or zippers, buttons, velcro, snaps or tapes (nº4 in Drawing Fig. 2), in as much by the sides that give to the headboard as to the feet they bend inwards to maintain the sheath ordered at the time of sleep (nº6 and nº7 in Figure 2).
At the time of closing it has two faces, as it has two faces (Side "A" (nº 1 in the drawing Fig. Nº1] the part above the mattress and Side "B" (nº2 in the drawing Fig.Nº1] which it is towards the ground after having used the "A" side for a few days, you can turn the mattress or the mattress case to use it another couple of days on Side "B" before washing it. This mattress case also has a countertop also with double face, to turn it when using the mattress case on the side B. This product has several benefits and aims to solve the discomfort that produces the current alternative. It can be used in the domestic field as in the hotel areas, both for children and adults. In the domestic field is thought of the fact that when waking up and see a bed disorderly, is to say it somehow "depressing", not to mention that with the current alternative many times must get up at midnight to rearrange the bed, especially on hot days, when going around and around you have problems to fall asleep, Use this model and you can not go back to the previous one, miss the comfort of a bed stretched and without wrinkles. In the field of hotel areas would help with respect to muscle-skeletal injuries, because having double- sided, we use the face A few days, and then the B, with the simple action of turning the mattress or the mattress case on the beds that have side winter and summer.
Collaterally, the effect of having the garment more days will help to reduce water consumption, a not insignificant collateral in our days. And of course a little more fabric is required, so it will favor the textile industry in principle, but because of its shape, it will extend the useful life of The garment then does not produce uneven wear to the middle of the mattress that occurs with the current alternative. The mattress case aims to solve the problem of displacement and discomfort that this movement produces when sleeping, because being tight to the mattress has the object to remain attached and therefore avoid the movement that causes the beds to be disarmed during the night, causing an unnecessary worry at the time of sleep and when waking, in addition to uneven wear or that the previous alternative produces in the garment due to the effect of the movement, when being fitted to the mattress two faces are available for alternate use; its use is of domestic order and in hotel areas.
