  • Expandable skirt mattress cover
    Patent number: 5127115
    Abstract: The invention comprises an expandable skirt mattress cover and a method for making a mattress cover. The mattress cover includes a top platform attached to a skirt having an elastic band. The mattress cover is manufactured using the steps of stretching the skirt farbic; attaching the top platform to the skirt; stretching the elastic band and the skirt fabric; and attaching the elastic band to the skirt. Because the skirt stretches in two directions, the mattress cover adjusts to fit same-size mattresses of differing thicknesses.
