Claims20
A bed sheet retention system for securing one or more bed sheets to a bed, said bed sheet retention system comprising:
- (I) a mattress covering component designed and sized to extend over one or more side surfaces of a mattress, said mattress covering component comprising:
- (A) one or more side sheet portions that extend (i) over two or more side surfaces, and (ii) around one or more corners of the mattress;
- and
- (B) one or more sheet-engaging channels extending along the one or more side sheet portions, each of the one or more sheet-engaging channels comprising:
- (i) an upper sheet-locking channel member, and
- (ii) a lower sheet-locking channel member spaced from said upper sheet-locking channel member,
- wherein said upper sheet-locking channel member and said lower sheet-locking channel member (a) are designed to engage with one or more sheet-locking strips inserted within the sheet-engaging channel from the upper sheet-locking channel member to the lower sheet-locking channel member, and (b) together provide a channel track profile that extends along the sheet-engaging channel, the channel track profile having a channel cross-sectional shape at a given point along a channel track profile length LTP in which a channel track profile height HTP is greater than a channel track profile width WTP;
- and
- (II) the one or more sheet-locking strips, each of the sheet-locking strips (A) being sized and designed to engage with the one or more sheet-engaging channels so as to secure a bed sheet (1) between (i) the one or more sheet-engaging channels, and (ii) the one or more sheet-locking strips, and (2) within the channel track profile of the one or more sheet-engaging channels, and (B) having a strip thickness TS that is less than a strip width WS, and the strip width WS is less than a strip length LS.

A bed sheet retention system for securing one or more bed sheets to a bed, said bed sheet retention system comprising:
- (I) a mattress covering component designed and sized to extend over one or more side surfaces of a mattress, said mattress covering component comprising:
- (A) one or more side sheet portions that extend (i) along three or more side surfaces, and (ii) around two or more corners of the mattress;
- and
- (B) one or more sheet-engaging channels extending along each of the one or more side sheet portions and along each of the three or more side surfaces of the mattress, wherein each of the sheet-engaging channels comprises a sheet-locking member comprising:
- (i) an upper sheet-locking channel member, and
- (ii) a lower sheet-locking channel member spaced from said upper sheet-locking channel member, wherein said upper sheet-locking channel member and said lower sheet-locking channel member (a) are designed to engage with one or more sheet-locking strips inserted within the sheet-locking member from the upper sheet-locking channel member to the lower sheet-locking channel member, and (b) together provide a channel track profile that extends along the sheet-locking member, the channel track profile having a channel cross-sectional shape in which a track profile height HTP is greater than a track profile width WTP of the channel track profile;
- and
- (II) the one or more sheet locking strips, each of the sheet locking strips (1) being sized and designed to be inserted within the sheet-locking member, and (2) having a strip width WS greater than a strip thickness TS.
