Definitions

  • the present invention relates to beds, bed sheets and waterproof bed clothing.
  • Mattress covers, sheets, or pads are widely used to cover mattresses. Covers, sheets, and pads come in a variety of styles and are used for several different purposes. Some offer extra cushioning and support to a sleeper, while others act as an extra layer, keeping the mattress itself cleaner.
  • SIDS sudden infant death syndrome
  • a soft mattress can conform to the shape of a baby's head or face, increasing the risk of suffocation. It is also important that there is no loose bedding or any objects that could increase the risk of entrapment, suffocation, or strangulation within the bed. ⁇ 0006] Another important consideration for bedding design is the effect of the bedding on a person who may not have a lot of mobility. Pressure ulcers, also known as bedsores, are a common skin condition that occurs when a person is unable to redistribute the pressure on their body. Bedsores are particularly common in geriatric patients and are particularly problematic for the elderly, as the healing of bedsores is slowed by increased age of the person.
  • bedsores can be difficult to prevent, especially in frail elderly individuals and people confined to wheelchairs.
  • the primary cause of bedsores is prolonged pressure on a localized area of the body, bedsores can also be caused by a combination of pressure and friction. For this reason, tightly fitted sheets for a person with restricted mobility are crucial to the prevention of bedsores.
  • the present invention provides systems relating to a safe, easily removable and reusable sheet and pad system that attaches to a mattress.
  • the detachable pad of the present invention provides a tightly fitted pad to reduce friction that can be caused by loose sheets and bedding.
  • the pad can be changed, cleaned, and replaced freguently.
  • the pad is a waterproof pad that covers only the portion of the mattress that is in closest proximity to the pelvis and buttocks area of a user. This allows the user to remove the pad from one fitted sheet and attach it, optionally in a different orientation, to a different sized fitted sheet. In this way, a user can use the same pad for differently sized mattresses.
