Fitted mattress pad and method of forming a fitted mattress pad

A fitted mattress pad for covering the top and sides of a mattress, the pad comprising:

• a first layer of material;
• a second layer of material;
• and
• a skirt for covering the sides of a mattress;
• one of the first or second layers being generally sized to a peripheral dimension approximating the top dimension of a mattress;
• the skirt being an integral extension of one of the first or second layers of the mattress pad;
• the first layer and second layer being joined together to form a unitary mattress pad.

A fitted mattress pad for covering the top and sides of a mattress, the pad comprising:

• a first layer of material;
• a second layer of material;
• a layer of batting joined to one of the first or second layers;
• and
• a skirt for covering the sides and ends of a mattress;
• one of the first or second layers being generally sized to at least a peripheral dimension approximating the top dimension of a mattress;
• the batting layer being generally sized to at least a peripheral dimension approximating the top dimension of a mattress;
• the skirt being an integral extension of one of the first or second layers of the mattress pad;
• the batting layer and the layer joined thereto being joined to the other of the first and second layers to form a unitary mattress pad.

A method for forming a fitted mattress pad, the fitted mattress pad including a first layer of material, a second layer of material, a layer of batting intermediate the first and second layers and a skirt for covering the sides of a mattress, the method comprising the steps of:

• placing the layer of batting on the first layer of material such that the outer edges of the batting layer are spaced generally equal distances from the outer edges of the first layer of material;
• placing the second layer of material on the layer of batting such that the outer edges of the second layer of material are spaced generally an equal distance from the outer edges of the first layer of material;
• joining at least the second layer of material to the first layer of material whereby the distance from the outer edges of the first layer to the outer edges of the second layer defines the skirt of the mattress pad;
• and
• forming corners in the skirt near the outer edges of the first layer.

A method for forming a fitted mattress pad, the fitted mattress pad including a first layer of material, a second layer of material, a layer of batting and a skirt for covering the sides of a mattress, the method comprising the steps of:

• placing the layer of batting on the second layer of material such that the outer edges of the batting layer are generally aligned with the outer edges of the second layer of material;
• joining the layer of batting to the second layer of material;
• placing the combined second layer of material and layer of batting on the first layer of material such that the outer edges of the second layer of material are spaced from the outer edges of the first layer of material to define the skirt;
• joining at least the second layer of material to the first layer of material whereby the distance from the outer edges of the first layer to the outer edges of the second layer defines the skirt of the mattress pad;
• and
• forming corners in the skirt.

• placing the second layer of material on the first layer of material such that the outer edges of the second layer of material are spaced generally an equal distance from the outer edges of the first layer of material;
• joining at least the second layer of material to the first layer of material whereby the distance from the outer edges of the first layer to the outer edges of the second layer defines the skirt of the mattress pad;
• and
• forming corners in the skirt near the outer edges of the first layer.

A fitted mattress pad for covering the top and sides of a mattress, said pad comprising:

• a first layer of material;
• a second layer of material;
• a layer of batting intermediate the first and second layers;
• and
• a skirt for covering the sides and ends of a mattress;
• one of the first or second layers being generally sized to form the top platform of a mattress pad;
• the batting layer being generally sized to form the top platform of a mattress pad;
• the skirt being an integral extension of one of the first or second layers of the mattress pad;
• and
• the first layer, second layer and batting layer being joined together to form a unitary mattress pad.
