Abstract
Provided herein is a bed linen system formed from a one-piece panel that includes slits separating a bed sheet portion from a blanket portion and integral gussets that envelop the corners of a mattress. The slits work in conjunction with the gussets to redirect tension from pulling force applied to the blanket towards the center axis of the mattress, thereby making it more difficult to remove the system from the mattress by a user, while allowing the user to ventilate the foot area during use.
Claims34
A bed linen system comprising a one-piece panel having a top side, a bottom side, and an axis, the panel comprising:
- (a) a bed sheet portion configured to fit on a mattress;
- (b) a pair of opposing slits, each of the slits extending from a side edge of the panel toward the axis, wherein the slits form a location where the panel is folded over itself when placed on the mattress;
- (c) a plurality of gussets, each gusset being formed by folding at a bottom edge of the bed sheet portion of the panel and securely attaching a side to an adjacent edge of the bed sheet portion, wherein each gusset is configured to allow the bed sheet portion to envelop a corner of the mattress;
- (d) a blanket portion configured to cover the bed sheet portion and drape over side edges of the mattress when the panel is folded over itself,
- wherein the slits are configured to separate the bed sheet portion from the blanket portion and direct tension toward the axis resulting in gripping of the mattress when the blanket portion is pulled in a direction away from the fold, wherein each gusset has a parabolic curve shape and comprises a long edge and a short edge, and wherein the long edge is integral to the side edge of the bed sheet portion of the panel and the short edge is securely attached to a headboard-side edge or a footboard-side edge of the bed sheet portion of the panel.

A bed linen system comprising a one-piece panel having a top side, a bottom side and an axis, the panel comprising:
- (a) a bed sheet portion configured to fit on a mattress;
- (b) a pillow securely attached to the bottom side of the panel at a location corresponding to a headboard-side of the bed sheet portion;
- (c) a pair of opposing slits, each of the slits extending from a side edge of the panel toward the axis, wherein the slits form a location where the panel is folded over itself when placed on the mattress;
- (d) a blanket portion configured to cover the bed linen portion and drape over side edges of the mattress when the panel is folded over itself;
- and
- (e) a plurality of gussets, each gusset being securely attached to a corner of the bed sheet portion of the panel, wherein each gusset is configured to allow the bed sheet portion to envelop a corner of the mattress,
- wherein the slits are configured to separate the bed sheet portion from the blanket portion and direct tension toward the axis resulting in gripping of the mattress when the blanket portion is pulled in a direction away from the fold, wherein each gusset has a parabolic curve shape and comprises a long edge and a short edge, and wherein the long edge is securely attached to the side edge of the bed sheet portion of the panel and the short edge is securely attached to a headboard-side edge or a footboard-side edge of the bed sheet portion of the panel.
