  • Publication number: 20220346574
    Abstract: An easy-change mattress sheet system having a top panel selectively interconnected to lateral panels covering at least a portion of the four sides of a mattress is provided. The lateral panels may employ an elastic seam comprised of a vertical drop seam bounded by upper and lower 45-degrees seams, wherein the length of the vertical drop seam varies by mattress thickness. The top panel may be secured to the lateral panels with a simple attaching device. The top panel can be completely removed from the lateral panels by unfastening the simple attaching device. Accordingly, removing/replacing the top panel can be easily accomplished without disturbing the mattress.
