Abstract
A bedsheet formed from a knitted fabric comprised of two yarn types wherein at least one yarn type is made of an elastomeric fiber and the other yarn type is made of a substantially non-elastic fiber. In the preferred embodiment, one yarn type is a blend of polyester and cotton and the other yarn type is spandex. This overall blend of spandex and poly-cotton fibers creates a knitted fabric having resilience, elasticity and versatility beyond that of a traditional poly-cotton blend fabric. This knitted fabric can then be used to produce sheeting materials, such as fitted contour sheets, which retain shape better, are more easily handled, and have a greater life that standard poly-cotton blend sheets.

A fitted bedsheet formed from a knitted fabric comprising:
- a first yarn strand comprising poly-cotton fiber formed from approximately 45.55% natural combed cotton fiber within a range of from 41% to 50% and approximately 54.45% polyester within a range of from 59% to 50%
- a second yarn strand comprising Spandex®;
- said first and second yarn strands being knitted together in a 2:1 ratio, respectively, to yield an overall fabric blend of from 99.9% poly-cotton and 0.01% elastomeric material to 90% poly-cotton and 10% elastomeric material and a weight of between 13 and 30 ounces for a fitted bedsheet of size 34″ by.71″ by 14″.
A fitted bedsheet formed from a knitted fabric comprising:
- a first yarn strand comprising poly-cotton fiber having a fiber content of between 41% to 50% natural cotton material;
- a second yarn strand comprising Spandex;
- and
- said first and said second yarn strands being knitted together in an overall resulting fabric blend comprising a range of 90-99.9 weight percent (%) of said first yarn strand, and a range of 0.01-10% of said second yarn strand, and then sewn in the form of a fitted bedsheet.
