The bed covering system includes a lower cover having an upper portion and a side wall positionable about a mattress, an upper cover having an upper surface and a lower surface, and a zipper having a lower track attached to the lower cover and an upper track attached to the upper cover for selectively securing the upper cover to the lower cover. The zipper is preferably comprised of a structure that allows opposing ends of the zipper to be partially removed depending upon the end of the mattress the individual sleeps upon. The zipper is attached to a longitudinal side of the upper cover and the lower cover which is preferably adjacent an obstruction such as a wall. A middle cover is preferably permanently attached to the lower cover positioned beneath the upper cover.
