Abstract: A woven stretchable fitted sheet is made of a woven material but is stretchable in one dimension. The fitted sheet is made of a single such material comprising the top wall and side walls combined together to form a skirt. The edges of the skirt have an elastic band attached thereto which bunches up the material slightly to allow it to be stretched over a mattress and to accommodate to mattresses of differing heights. The fabric preferably used to manufacture the fitted sheet includes a blend of a material such as cotton or cotton/polyester blend blended with SPANDEX® elastic yarn. These materials are made into a yarn using a core spinning technique. In the preferred embodiment, the blend of cotton or other fabric and SPANDEX® is from 2 to 20% SPANDEX® and the remainder cotton or other material, such as, for example, a cotton/polyester blend.

Abstract: A mattress protector completely encloses a mattress. The top wall is removable from the side walls by operating a zipper. The zipper includes protective features designed to prevent bed bugs from leaving the interior of the mattress protector via the zipper slide. When the top wall is removed from the side walls, the present invention includes supports for the side walls so that when the top wall is removed, the side walls remain erect so that the top wall can easily be reattached by placing the top wall over the top surface of the mattress and then operating the zipper around the side walls to reattach the top wall. A number of different embodiments of structures designed to hold the side walls upright when the top wall is removed are disclosed.

Abstract: A dietary supplement composition as a prophylactic and treatment for skin diseases such as eczema and psoriasis and the like, the composition comprising a phase II liver detoxification component having glycine, and magnesium, wherein glycine and magnesium are present in the supplement composition in a ratio of between about 20:1 and 20:8.

Abstract: A mattress protector completely encloses a mattress to preclude bed bugs from escaping. All of the interior surfaces of the protector are coated or laminated with a film laminate that is resistant to bed bug bites. A zipper extends partially around the circumference of the mattress protector so that when the zipper is opened an opening is provided allowing a mattress to be slid into the protector. The zipper is located next to the intersection between side walls and the bottom wall. A closure flap extends perpendicularly to the direction of extension of the zipper. The outer surface of the top wall is provided with a coating that renders the top surface waterproof while also providing anti-microbial properties and unique temperature regulation.
