US 11,896,152 B2 · System and method for a fitted elastic bed sheet

Abstract

An easily foldable fitted sheet is disclosed, made of a flat top section with a backside of fabric flat against a backside of the flat bottom section joined together at their outlining edges. The flat top section is an inelastic rectangular sheet of fabric sewn all around at the outlining edges to the flat bottom section which is an elastic rectangular frame of fabric with no middle center and only one seam. The top portion can be made of an elastic material. When the fitted sheet's flat bottom section is stretched over any mattress it forms the side panels giving a tight fit and grips the underside of the mattress with the silicone beading or strip that is adhered to the inside edge of the bottom section. When the sheet is released from the mattress the bottom section's elastic material retains its flat rectangular shape and lies flat for ease of folding and storage.

A fitted bed sheet, the fitted bed sheet comprising:

a flat top section and a flat seamless four way stretchable elastic bottom section;
a seam that joins the top section to the flat seamless four way stretchable elastic bottom section and wherein the bottom section forms stretchable borders at a head and foot of a mattress and flat seamless four way stretchable elastic bottom section together so that the sheet maintains a flat structure as the two sections are flat against each other, wherein the flat seamless four way stretchable elastic bottom section stretches over the sides and a portion of a bottom portion of the mattress, wherein the flat seamless four way stretchable elastic bottom section has a continuous rectangular frame-like shape wherein the frame-like shape allows the flat seamless elastic bottom section to come over the mattress and it substantially ensures the sheet will grip and not slip off the mattress.

A method for fitting a fitted bed sheet over a mattress, the method comprising:

a top section and a flat seamless four way stretchable elastic bottom section;
sliding the elastic bottom section of a fitted bed sheet over a mattress, wherein a seam that joins the top section to the seamless four way stretchable elastic bottom section and wherein the flat seamless four way stretchable elastic bottom section forms stretchable borders at a head of foot of a mattress and flat seamless four way stretchable elastic bottom section together so that the sheet maintains a flat structure as the two sections are flat against each other, wherein the flat seamless four way stretchable elastic bottom section stretches over the sides and a portion of a bottom surface of the mattress, wherein the bottom section has a continuous rectangular frame-like shape wherein the frame-like shape allows the bottom section to come over the mattress and it substantially ensures the sheet will grip and not slip off the mattress.
