Abstract

A system and method of changing a sheet for a mattress of a bed is provided. More specifically, a bedding system includes a retention element sized to be retained on the mattress. A first bedding element is selectively interconnected to the retention system. Optionally, a second bedding element may be interconnected to the first bedding element. In one embodiment, at least one two-part closure interconnects the first bedding element to the retention element. In another embodiment, buttons interconnect the second bedding element to the first bedding element. In yet another embodiment, at least one two-part closure interconnects the second bedding element to the first bedding element. The two-part closure may be a zipper, a plurality of snaps, and a hook and loop system. In one embodiment, the retention element is removably interconnected to the mattress by at least one fastener or closure.

Dependent claims

A bedding system selectively retained by a mattress of a bed, comprising:

a retention element selectively received by the mattress, the retention element including a first portion of a first closure;
a first bedding element selectively interconnectable to the retention element, the first bedding element including:
a longitudinal axis;
a second portion of the first closure;
a first portion of a second closure generally parallel to the longitudinal axis and interconnected adjacent to a first peripheral edge of the first bedding element, which is adjacent to an upper portion of the retention element;
and
a first portion of a third closure generally parallel to the longitudinal axis and interconnected adjacent to a second peripheral edge of the first bedding element, which is adjacent to an upper portion of the retention element;
a second bedding element selectively interconnectable to the first bedding element, the second bedding element including:
a second portion of the second closure;
and
a second portion of the third closure;
wherein the second bedding element has a width that is greater than a width of the first bedding element, wherein the second portion of the second closure is adjacent to a first peripheral edge of the second bedding element, and wherein the second portion of the third closure is adjacent to a second peripheral edge of the second bedding element;
and
wherein the second bedding element, when connected to the first bedding element, drapes to conceal the first and second peripheral edges of the second bedding element.
