  • Patent number: 11737590
    Abstract: The invention provides an invertible bedding stability system comprising a fitted sheet, a top sheet that resembles a flat sheet at the head end and fitted sheet at the foot end, and a cover bearing a constellation of buttons. The top sheet is sewn by a seam to the fitted sheet along their foot end and one side, such that elastic straps are sandwiched between them and bisected by that seam. The elastic straps define button holes; the external half of each strap may mate to one or more respective buttons on the cover. When the system is mounted on an intended mattress, the bedding remains more reliably in a fully or partially made-bed state, thereby improving the user's sleeping experience.
