Abstract
A mattress protector includes a unitary flat sheet for covering a surface of a mattress and providing a liquiphobic barrier for the surface. The flat sheet has four corners with cuts in the sheet proximal to and following a contour of each corner (or alternatively following the contour of each corner and laterally from corner to corner) to form corner attachment members for extending from the surface and under the mattress, thereby securing the sheet to the mattress.

A mattress protector comprising:
- a unitary flat sheet for covering a surface of a mattress and providing a liquiphobic barrier for the surface;
- and the flat sheet having four corners with cuts in the sheet proximal to and following a contour of each corner to form corner attachment members for extending from the surface and under the mattress, thereby securing the sheet to the mattress, wherein each of the cuts includes a first portion that extends in a direction parallel to an end edge of the unitary flat sheet and a second portion that extends in a direction orthogonal to the first portion and parallel to a lateral edge of the unitary flat sheet, wherein the cuts extend fully laterally from corner to corner along ends of the sheet to form end flaps.
A method for making a mattress protector, the method comprising:
- forming a unitary flat sheet for covering a surface of a mattress and providing a liquiphobic barrier for the surface;
- and forming cuts in the sheet proximal and following a contour of each corner to form corner attachment members for extending from the surface and under the mattress for securing the sheet to the mattress, wherein each of the cuts includes a first portion that extends in a direction parallel to an end edge of the unitary flat sheet and a second portion that extends in a direction orthogonal to the first portion and parallel to a lateral edge of the unitary flat sheet, wherein forming the cuts includes forming the cuts to extend fully laterally from corner to corner of the sheet and thereby forming end flaps.
