Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for retaining a sheet on a mattress. A membrane comprising a plurality of extensions disposed along the perimeter of the membrane is displaced underneath a mattress. The extensions of the membrane are composed of an elastic material and the membrane is composed of a material that generates sufficient friction when in contact with the mattress to be displaced. The extensions are configured to retract to an original length, wherein the original length of each extension corresponds to a size of the mattress. Additionally, the extensions are disposed at a distance apart from each other so as to substantially retain a sheet applied on the mattress.
Claims20
An method comprising:
- inserting a membrane underneath a mattress, the membrane comprising a plurality of extensions protruding along the perimeter of the membrane, the extensions comprising an elastic material configured to retract to an original length, and wherein the extensions total a number sufficient to substantially retain a sheet applied on the mattress;
- affixing a plurality of clips to an end of a respective extension of the membrane;
- and
- applying each clip to at least a portion of the sheet to substantially retain the sheet on the mattress.
A clip to firmly retain a sheet on a mattress, the clip comprising:
- two halves that fasten together to firmly retain the sheet;
- a first half of the two halves being affixed to a body of the clip and a second half of the two halves being tethered to the first half;
- and
- the first half comprising a receptacle to receive and secure an extension of a membrane disposed underneath a mattress.
A membrane comprising:
- a plurality of extensions disposed along a perimeter of the membrane, wherein the extensions are composed of an elastic material;
- the membrane being disposed underneath a mattress and being composed of a material that generates sufficient friction when in contact with the mattress to be securely disposed;
- the extensions being configured to retract to an original length, the original length of each extension corresponding to a size of the mattress;
- and
- the extensions being disposed at a distance apart from each other so as to substantially retain a sheet applied on the mattress.
