Description
- The present application claims priority to, and the benefit of, U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/161,689, which was filed on Mar. 16, 2021 and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- The present invention relates generally to the field of bed coverings. More specifically, the present invention relates to a mattress encasing bedsheet with a pocket-like body designed to easily slide over a mattress and prevent the sheet from slipping off the corners of the bed. The mattress encasing bedsheet comprises a pocket-like body comprising an opening on one end that allows the users to insert the mattress into the open end of the bedsheet and slide the bedsheet over the mattress to completely cover the mattress body. Further, the mattress encasing bedsheet features two interior fabric handles and several exterior handles that allow the bedsheet to be easily folded, utilized and/or transported. Accordingly, the present specification makes specific reference thereto. Nonetheless, it is to be appreciated that aspects of the present invention are also equally applicable to other like applications, devices and methods of manufacture.
- By way of background, bed coverings such as bedsheets are used by all individuals to cover mattresses and make beds. Generally, while making a bed, the bedsheet is spread over a mattress and then the edges of the bedsheets are tucked around the edges of the mattress. While sleeping or using the bed, users may toss and/or turn and change position, thereby causing the bedsheet to become untucked and removed from the mattress. If the bedsheet does not stay tucked underneath the mattress, the bedsheet may become removed from the mattress and may become an inconvenience to the user. People may become uncomfortable while sleeping on the mattress without having use of a bedsheet. Also, the user may have to continuously adjust the bedsheet to sleep properly, which is also an inconvenience.
- Making the bed with a completely untucked bedsheet may take a user more time to properly tuck and arrange the bedsheet along the edges of the mattress. Thus, housekeeping staff, who changes bedsheets in hospitals and/or hotels, may require an extended amount of time in changing beds. Due to slippage of bedsheets, users are required to frequently change out the sheets or re-make the bed, which leads to frustration. If users do not make the bed and leave the bed with wrinkled bedsheets removed from the mattress, the room will look dirty and unappealing.
- Therefore, there exists a long felt need in the art for a bedsheet that can be properly arranged over a mattress positioned on a bed. There is also a long felt need in the art for a bedsheet that is prevented from slipping off the corners of a mattress. Additionally, there is a long felt need in the art for a bedsheet that is not removed from a mattress while a user is turning and/or tossing during sleep. Moreover, there is a long felt need in the art for a bedsheet that is properly positioned on a mattress and does not fall off. Further, there is a long felt need in the art for a bedsheet that eliminates the need to adjust the bedsheet while sleeping, and saves a user time when making his or her bed. Furthermore, there is a long felt need in the art for a bedsheet that can be easily positioned on mattresses by housekeeping staff and does not require an extended amount of time when changing bedsheets. Finally, there is a long felt need in the art for a bedsheet that is not prone to movement or slippage, and does not require a user to continuously adjust the sheet.
- The subject matter disclosed and claimed herein, in one embodiment thereof, comprises a pocket bedsheet device for a mattress that is configured to have a pocket-like body for enclosing a mattress. The pocket bedsheet device further comprises a top panel, a bottom panel, a pair of opposing side panels and a foot panel collectively defining a cavity or opening for enclosing the mattress. The pocket bedsheet device features an opening to receive a mattress. Once the mattress is properly inserted into the bedsheet cavity, the top panel of the bedsheet touches or adheres to a top surface of the mattress, the bottom panel of the bedsheet touches or adheres to a bottom surface of the mattress, the opposing side panels of the bedsheet touch or adhere to the side surfaces of the mattress and the foot panel of the bedsheet touches or adheres to the foot surface of the mattress. The pocket bedsheet device slides around the mattress to enclose the entire mattress and remain in a stable position.
- In this manner, the novel mattress-encasing bedsheet of the present invention accomplishes all of the forgoing objectives, and provides a relatively easy, convenient and stable solution to positioning a bedsheet over a mattress. The pocket-like structure of the mattress-encasing bedsheet of the present invention properly encloses the mattress from all the sides, thereby eliminating the risk of a bedsheet being removed from the mattress. The mattress encasing bedsheet is not prone to movement and slippage, and thus prevents users from continuously adjusting their bedsheets while sleeping, and requires less time when making the bed. The mattress-encasing bedsheet is a convenient option for housekeeping staff at hospitals, hotels, etc., as it does not require an extended amount of time to make beds and can be easily positioned over mattresses.
