FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method and a system for securing a bedsheet to a mattress.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Bedsheets are used to cover mattresses for the aesthetic look and for better comfort of a user since the finishing of mattresses are usually not comfortable. To put a bedsheet on a mattress properly, the bedsheet will have to be positioned on the mattress and the excess material has to be tucked under the mattress to secure the bedsheet. For a user who tosses and turns during sleep, the bedsheet will be inevitably displaced. This causes discomfort to the user, and is not aesthetically pleasing. This displacement may cause the bedsheet on the surface of the mattress to be folded, or to the extent that the bedsheet is displaced from the surface of the mattress.
In the prior art, bedsheets are made to fit to a mattress by having elastic edges. Such a fitted bedsheet helps to ease the alignment with the mattress. However, fitted bedsheets still have excess material which has to be tucked under the mattress. Inadvertently, the bedsheet will still be displaced when a user tosses and turns during sleep.
US Patent Nos. 5,327,595 and 6,907,628 disclose devices to secure the bedsheet to keep the bedsheet in a fixed position on the mattress. In US 5,327,595, a band is used to encircle a mattress with a bedsheet, and another band is extended around the foot end of a set of box springs to hold the bedsheet in a fixed position. Prolonged use of this method to secure a bedsheet to a mattress is likely to cause the mattress to be deformed by the band encircling the mattress and is therefore undesirable.
In US 6,907,628, an excess length of a bedsheet is wrapped around a slat, secured by a plurality of clips and tucked under the mattress. The use of this device requires some effort in terms of exertion and time. Hence, there is a need to provide a simple and effective method and system to secure a bedsheet to a mattress.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention discloses a bedsheet retainer system for securing a bedsheet in position on a mattress which includes a bedsheet having an attachment means on a side, and a complementary attachment means on a peripheral of the mattress, for receiving the attachment means of the bedsheet.
In a second embodiment of the invention, which is suitable for a bedsheet having an excess length to cover a lateral side of the mattress, the complementary attachment means in the bedsheet retainer system, is on both the topside of the mattress and the lateral side of the mattress.
In a third embodiment of the invention, which is suitable for a bedsheet having an excess length to cover the lateral periphery of the mattress, the complementary attachment means in the bedsheet retainer system is on two opposite sides of the lateral periphery of the mattress for receiving the portion of the bedsheet covering the lateral side.
In a variation of the third embodiment, the complementary attachment means is provided on a wrapping means dimensioned to wrap around the dimensions of the lateral periphery of the mattress or bedframe.
The attachment means on the bedsheet and the complementary attachment means on the wrapping means are press-studs, or a hook and loop type fastener.
Preferably, the bedsheet retainer system further includes a wrapping means for wrapping the peripheral of the mattress, where the complementary attachment means is positioned on the wrapping means. In an alternative embodiment, the complementary attachment means is positioned on a holding means dimensioned to hold the mattress.
In addition, the invention is a method for removably securing a bedsheet in position on a mattress, including the steps of providing the bedsheet with an attachment means on a side, and a complementary attachment means on the mattress, and attaching the attachment means to the complementary attachment means.
The attachment means on the bedsheet and the complementary attachment means on the wrapping means are press-studs, or a hook and loop type fastener.
In another embodiment, the complementary attachment means is removable. In this embodiment, the method further includes providing a complementary attachment means on an adjustable band alongside the lateral periphery of the mattress.
