Abstract
A portable mosquito net apparatus is formed of a frame, adapted to be sandwiched between a bed mattress and a mattress support surface, typically a mattress spring, and is held in place by the weight of the mattress. The frame mounts a mosquito net support to which a mosquito net is attached in a position over the mattress. The mosquito net is draped down about the edges of the mattress to form an enclosed space. The frame, mosquito net support, and mosquito net can be easily disassembled for storage or transport in a small luggage bag.
