  • Publication number: 20210244209
    Abstract: This present invention relates to an improved bedsheet system comprising a top bedsheet sewn together in part to a bottom bedsheet having an elastic perimeter to allow the bottom bedsheet to be securely tucked underneath the mattress to maximize stability, and prevent the bedsheet system from moving out of place throughout the night. The bottom bedsheet further comprises a pair of pillow pockets to accommodate conventional pillows and keep them in place, as well as a plurality of side pockets to hold personal items which may be easily accessed by the user throughout the night. The improved bedsheet system offers user convenience in making a bed, and eliminates the need to reapply standard bedsheets that fall off easily onto the floor after every use.
