Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

The present application claims priority to, and the benefit of, U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/971,150, which was filed on Feb. 6, 2020 and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to the field of bed coverings. More specifically, the present invention relates to an improved bedsheet system comprising a top sheet and a bottom sheet sewn together along a bottom edge and part way along the respective sides, such that the bedsheet system allows the bottom sheet to be tucked securely underneath the mattress to maximize stability of the bedsheet. The bedsheet system further comprises a pair of pillow pockets for receipt of a pillow and one or more side pockets or pouches designed to hold items such as phones, remote control devices, or other personal items. The bedsheet system offers much needed convenience when making a bed, while eliminating the need to reapply standard bedsheets that have fallen onto the floor. Accordingly, the present specification makes specific reference thereto. Nonetheless, it is to be appreciated that aspects of the present invention are also equally applicable to other like applications, devices and methods of manufacture.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

By way of background, various bed coverings and items such as bedsheets, bed skirts, pillows or the like are used to make a bed. Typically, bedsheets are tucked over the mattress placed on the bed, and then other items such as pillows are separately placed over the tucked bedsheets. Pillows often get out of place relative to the mattress even with the slightest of user movement on the bed. Therefore, many individuals may have to frequently reset the placement of the pillows on the bed, and may have to struggle to keep the pillows in place throughout the night which could interrupt sleep patterns and lead to lack of proper sleep.

Many bedsheets and/or bed coverings are manufactured from a purely aesthetic point of view, such that most of the focus is on the design and appearance of the bedsheets, which may look attractive to different individuals. However, the functional aspect of bedsheets and bed coverings are oftentimes overlooked, and are rarely considered by the designers or the manufacturers.

Additionally, individuals may toss and turn throughout the night while sleeping, thereby causing the bedsheets to come off of the bed. More specifically, the edges of the bedsheets may not stay tucked underneath the mattress, thereby leading to the bedsheets falling off the bed while the user is sleeping on the bed or the user becoming tangled in an untucked bedsheet. Individuals may also become uncomfortable while sleeping on a bed without a bedsheet.

Furthermore, many individuals like to make up their bed after waking up in the morning. Making a bed typically involves properly tucking the bedsheets under the mattress and neatly arranging the pillows, both of which could be frustrating and time-consuming particularly if the bedsheets and pillows are in complete disarray in the morning. People who frequently toss and turn throughout the night while sleeping may have to constantly make their bed after waking up. Failure to do so may result in a bed having wrinkled bedsheets or bedsheets and pillows falling off the bed or scattered on the floor, which makes the bedroom look unkept and unappealing.

Further, while laying or sleeping on a bed, there may be a number of items which may be required by a user. For example, phones, remote control devices, and other personal items may be required by the user before or while sleeping. Accordingly, many individuals like to keep such items nearby, so that the same are readily available for use when needed. If the bed has associated shelves, the user may choose to keep these items on said shelves. However, if the bed does not have associated shelves or other storage space, the user may have to keep such items on the bed itself, which may make it uncomfortable for the user to sleep peacefully on the bed or result in the objects falling or being knocked off of the bed in the middle of night and becoming damaged.

Therefore, there exists a long felt need in the art for an improved bedsheet system that allows the bedsheet to remain tucked properly and neatly throughout the night. There is also a long felt need in the art for a bedsheet system in which both the functional aspect and user convenience is considered while designing and manufacturing the bedsheets. Additionally, there is a long felt need in the art for a bedsheet system in which the pillows remain intact with the bedsheet and properly positioned throughout the night, and that does not interfere with the user's sleep. Moreover, there is a long felt need in the art for a bedsheet system that makes it easy and convenient for the user to make his or her bed after waking up, and that comprises a plurality of convenient storage spaces for personal and other items that the user may require throughout the night. Finally, there is a long felt need in the art for a bedsheet system that is relatively inexpensive to manufacture and both safe and easy to use.

The subject matter disclosed and claimed herein, in one embodiment thereof, comprises an improved bedsheet system that is capable of being fully secured to a mattress, and that will not become untucked, despite the frequent tossing and turning of the user throughout the night. The improved bedsheet system preferably comprises a top bedsheet, a bottom bedsheet sewn to the top bedsheet along a bottom edge (i.e., foot end) and part way along the side edges (i.e., near the foot end), a plurality of pillow pockets positioned near the head end of the bed for receipt of a pillow, and one or more side pockets positioned near the pillow pockets to keep small personal items throughout the night. The bottom bedsheet is oversized at the corners for farther folding underneath the mattress, and the top bedsheet is sewn to the bottom bedsheet near the foot end, which is opposite from the head end, wherein the top bedsheet is smaller in size than the bottom bedsheet but large enough to overlie a portion of the bottom bedsheet.

In this manner, the novel bedsheet system of the present invention accomplishes all of the forgoing objectives, and provides a relatively easy, convenient and effective solution that allows a user to sleep more restfully throughout the night, and that saves time each morning when it becomes time to make up the bed. The bedsheet system of the present invention is also user friendly, inasmuch as it keeps the bedsheet tucked even when the user tosses and turns throughout the night, and does not require much manual labor from the user to make up the bed each morning. Additionally, the improved bedsheet system features pouches or pockets to allow the user to keep items such as phones, remote control devices, and other personal items readily accessible to the user throughout the night.

SUMMARY

The following presents a simplified summary in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed innovation. This summary is not an extensive overview, and it is not intended to identify key/critical elements or to delineate the scope thereof. Its sole purpose is to present some general concepts in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.

The subject matter disclosed and claimed herein, in one embodiment thereof, comprises a 2-in-1 bedsheet system capable of being fully secured around a mattress. The bedsheet system comprises a top bedsheet and a bottom bedsheet, wherein the bottom bedsheet is comprised of two pillow pockets on its upper surface near the head end of the bedsheet to receive a pair of pillows and one or more side pockets near the pillow pockets to keep small personal items readily accessible to the user throughout the night without interfering with his or her sleep. The bottom bedsheet is generally oversized in relation to the size of the mattress, thereby enabling the corners of the bedsheet to easily and securely fold or tuck underneath the mattress. Additionally, a portion of the top bedsheet is sewn to the bottom bedsheet near the foot end of the bedsheet, which is opposite to the head end, wherein the top bedsheet is smaller in size than the bottom bedsheet, but large enough to overlie a portion of the bottom bedsheet.

In a further embodiment of the present invention, a novel double bedsheet with improved stability is disclosed and comprises a top bedsheet sewn to a bottom bedsheet along the bottom edge and partially up the sides. The bottom bedsheet is larger in size than the top bedsheet, wherein the bottom bedsheet also have a size that is larger than a conventional bedsheet for better tucking underneath the mattress. A spandex or other elastic strip is also present along the entire perimeter of the bottom bedsheet to facilitate a more secure attachment of the bottom bedsheet to the mattress. Additionally, the bottom bedsheet further comprises a pair of pillow pockets positioned along its top surface and near the head end of the bottom bedsheet, and two or more side pockets along each of the bottom bedsheet's longitudinal sides and also near the head end of the bedsheet. The pillow pockets are used to secure a respective pillow in each pocket, and the side pockets may be used for securing small personal items that the user may need to access while laying or sleeping in the bed.

In yet a further embodiment of the present invention, a 2-in-1 bedsheet for covering a mattress and having an elastic perimeter is disclosed. The 2-in-1 bedsheet is comprised of a top bedsheet and an oversized bottom bedsheet. When properly installed, the bottom bedsheet partially encompasses a mattress and has two pillow pockets and two or more side pockets. The pillow pockets are positioned along the top surface of the bottom bedsheet near the head end of the bedsheet, and each pillow pocket comprises an opening therein for receipt of a pillow. Each of the two or more side pockets also comprises an opening therein for receipt of small consumer items and is attached to the longitudinal edges of the bottom bedsheet so that the same hang downwardly therefrom (i.e., in the direction of the floor) immediately adjacent to the mattress where they may be conveniently accessed throughout the night by the user. The top bedsheet has a shape substantially similar to the bottom bedsheet, but with smaller dimensions and is sewn to the bottom bedsheet along the bottom edge (i.e., the end of the bottom bedsheet opposite of where the pillow pockets are present) and approximately a foot or two up each of the sides from the bottom edge.

In a still further embodiment of the presently described invention, a method of installing a two-layer bedsheet onto a mattress is disclosed and comprises the initial step of attaching the bottom bedsheet onto the mattress. More specifically, the bottom bedsheet is generally rectangular in shape, and is comprised of a spandex or other elastic material along its entire perimeter such that the elastic material can be expanded to fit over the mattress and then cinches the bottom bedsheet to the mattress after installation on the mattress. Next, the remaining excess portions of the bottom bedsheet are tucked beneath the mattress, wherein a top bedsheet is attached to the bottom bedsheet along its bottom edge and at least partially along each of the side edges. Next, pillows are inserted into the pillow pockets positioned along a top surface of the bottom bedsheet, and the top bedsheet is then overlayed over the bottom bedsheet, wherein the unsewn portions of the top bedsheet cover the mattress and the top bedsheet and need not be tucked underneath the mattress.

The improved bedsheet system of the present invention is particularly advantageous because the novel bedsheet offers much needed convenience when making a bed, eliminating the need to reapply standard bedsheets that have fallen onto the floor. Additionally, the bottom bedsheet remains securely tucked-in, and the top bedsheet never falls onto the ground. Moreover, the pillows remain secured and stable in their position within the pillow pockets, and the side pockets allow a user to place phones, chargers, wallets and other similar items within arm's reach in case the same are needed when the user is utilizing the bed.

To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, certain illustrative aspects of the disclosed innovation are described herein in connection with the following description and the annexed drawings. These aspects are indicative, however, of but a few of the various ways in which the principles disclosed herein can be employed and are intended to include all such aspects and their equivalents.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The innovation is now described with reference to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals are used to refer to like elements throughout. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding thereof. It may be evident, however, that the innovation can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to facilitate a description thereof. Various embodiments are discussed hereinafter. It should be noted that the figures are described only to facilitate the description of the embodiments. They are not intended as an exhaustive description of the invention and do not limit the scope of the invention. Additionally, an illustrated embodiment need not have all the aspects or advantages shown. Thus, in other embodiments, any of the features described herein from different embodiments may be combined.

As noted above, there is a long felt need in the art for an improved bedsheet system that allows the bedsheet to remain tucked properly and neatly throughout the night, and in which both the functional aspect and user convenience have been considered in the design and manufacture thereof. Additionally, there is a long felt need in the art for a bedsheet system that comprises pillow pockets for retaining the pillows in proper position throughout the night, and that makes it easy and convenient for the user to make his or her bed after waking up. Further, there is a long felt need in the art for an improved bedsheet that comprises a plurality of convenient storage spaces for personal and other items that the user may require throughout the night, and that is relatively inexpensive to manufacture and both safe and easy to use.

The present invention, in one exemplary embodiment, is an improved bedsheet system that is capable of being fully secured around a mattress and that is comprised of a top bedsheet and a bottom bedsheet having an elastic material positioned along its entire perimeter, a pair of pillow pockets and a plurality of side pockets. Each of the pair of pillow pockets is positioned along an upper surface of the bottom bedsheet near the head end and is comprised of an opening therein for receipt of a pillow. Each of the plurality of side pockets is positioned along an upper surface of the bottom bedsheet and near its longitudinal edges so that items stored therein will hand over the side of the mattress or bed. The bottom bedsheet is oversized at the corners for further folding underneath the mattress, and the top bedsheet is sewn to the bottom bedsheet near the foot end (which is opposite to the head end) wherein the top bedsheet is smaller in size than the bottom bedsheet, but large enough to overlie a portion of the bottom bedsheet.

Referring initially to the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of one potential embodiment of the improved bedsheet system 100 of the present invention in accordance with the disclosed architecture, wherein the top bedsheet has been pulled away to expose the top surface of the bottom bedsheet, but wherein the top bedsheet remains attached to the bottom bedsheet along its bottom edge. More specifically, bedsheet system 100 is comprised of a bottom bedsheet 102 and a top bedsheet 104, wherein the top bedsheet 104 and bottom bedsheet 102 are sewn together along an edge 120. The edge 120 is near the foot end 1028 of the bottom bedsheet 102, and both the bedsheets 102, 104 are sewn together along the edge 120 such that the top bedsheet 104 is overlaid on the bottom bedsheet 102 with a fixed and sewn side. In a further embodiment, the edge 120 may extend along the longitudinal sides of the bedsheets 102, 104 for a foot or two from the bottom of the top bedsheet 104.

The top surface of the bottom bedsheet 102 is further comprised of two pillow pockets 106, 108 in which pillows are placed such that the pillows always remain stable within the pockets 106, 108. More specifically, the pillow pockets 106, 108 are placed near the head end or top end 1022 of the bottom bedsheet 102. Each of the pillow pockets 106, 108 have an opening therein that is sized such that pillows of different sizes and designs can be easily placed within the pockets 106, 108. One or more side pockets 110 are also present on the bottom bedsheet 102 to place small personal items for convenience of the user. The side pockets 110 are preferably present on the longitudinal sides of the mattress when the bottom bedsheet 102 is overlaid onto the mattress. More specifically, the bottom bedsheet 102 is preferably comprised of longitudinal sides 1024, 1026 having side pockets 110 with an opening therein, wherein the longitudinal sides 1024, 1026 cover the longitudinal sides of the mattress when properly installed.

Additionally, the bottom bedsheet 102 is preferably oversized such that it is easily tucked underneath the mattress for a secure fit and better stability. In one embodiment, the bottom bedsheet 102 may have a glove-like bottom end 1028 that fits securely around the mattress. Near the bottom end or foot end 1028 of the bottom bedsheet 102, the top bedsheet 104, which is similar in shape but may be smaller in size, is sewn to the bottom bedsheet 102 along the edge 120, wherein the edge 120 is preferably along the complete length of the bottom end 1028 of both the bottom sheet 102 and the top sheet 104, and perhaps slightly up the longitudinal sides 1024, 1026 of the bottom bedsheet 102.

In use, the bottom bedsheet 102 is placed on the top surface of the mattress and the longitudinal sides 1024, 1026 of the bottom bedsheet 102 abut along the longitudinal sides of the mattress. Further, the elastic or spandex edge 105 that is present along the entire perimeter of the bottom bedsheet 102 helps to better secure the bottom bedsheet 102 underneath the mattress. The single edge or seam 120 is considered as a line along which the top bedsheet 104 and the bottom bedsheet 102 are sewn together. The top bedsheet 104 is then placed over the bottom bedsheet 102 once the bottom bedsheet 102 is properly secured to the mattress, and the pillows have been inserted into the pillow pockets 106, 108. More specifically, the top bedsheet 104 is overlaid over the bottom bedsheet 102 to cover the pillows inserted into the pillow pockets 106, 108 and has dimensions such that the top bedsheet 104 is not tucked underneath the mattress and the side pockets 110 may or may not be covered by the top bedsheet 104. The attached/sewn foot end or bottom end 1028 of the bottom bedsheet 102 and the top bedsheet 104 helps to keep the top bedsheet in proper position throughout the night and avoids the same from being knocked to the ground.

The top bedsheet 104 and the bottom bedsheet 102 can be manufactured of the same material, or from different materials as per the requirement of the user and/or manufacturing process. A suitable stretchable fabric, such as an elastic fabric or other fabric can be used for making both the top bedsheet 104 and the bottom bedsheet 102. Nonetheless, the fabric should be resistant to wear and tear caused by sweat, detergents, body oils, lotions, etc. In one embodiment, a mixture of Spandex and cotton may be used to manufacture the top sheet 104 and the bottom sheet 102. In a further embodiment, both the bottom bedsheet 102 and the top bedsheet 104 have a high thread count of 1800, wherein the fabric is also breathable, hypoallergenic and wrinkle-free to always have a clean, fresh look. Further, because the bottom bedsheet 102 is oversized, the same is suitable for mattresses with a depth of up to 16 inches. In a further embodiment of the present invention, the bottom sheet 102 may incorporate an integrated sewn-in mattress pad.

FIG. 2 illustrates a partial perspective view of one potential embodiment of the improved bedsheet system 100 of the present invention in accordance with the disclosed architecture, wherein each of the pillow pockets 106, 108 are shown to contain a pillow 202, 204. More specifically, two pillow pockets 106, 108 are present on the top surface 210 of the bottom bedsheet 102, and any conventional pillows 202, 204 may be inserted into the pillow pockets 106, 108 for secure placement. The pillows 202, 204, once inserted into the pillow pockets 106, 108, remain stable and do not move even as the user tosses and turns throughout the night. Each of the pillow pockets 106,108 are of substantially similar width, and approximately half of the width of the mattress on which the bottom bedsheet 102 is overlaid. The pockets 106, 108 may or may not have a division between them. Further, in one embodiment, the pillow pockets 106, 108 have dimensions of approximately 20×30 inches to fit most regular sized pillows 202, 204. Alternatively, the pillow pockets 106, 108 may have dimensions or approximately 24×32 inches to fit most oversized pillows 202, 204.

FIG. 3 illustrates an exploded perspective view of one potential embodiment of the improved bedsheet system 100 of the present invention in accordance with the disclosed architecture, wherein the top bedsheet 104 has not yet been sewn or otherwise attached to the bottom bedsheet 102. As best shown in FIG. 3, the bottom bedsheet 102 is preferably longer in both length and width than the top bedsheet 104, such that bottom bedsheet 102 is tucked underneath the mattress easily and securely. More specifically, the width 303 of the bottom bedsheet 102 is greater than the width 304 of the top bedsheet 104. Similarly, the length 301 of the bottom bedsheet 102 is greater than the length 302 of the top bedsheet 104. Additionally, the top bedsheet 104 preferably does not have any pockets or slits and is a plain bedsheet, whereas the bottom bedsheet 102 has two pillow pockets 106, 108 near the head end of the bottom bedsheet 102 and two side pockets 110 near the lateral side of the bottom bedsheet 102.

FIG. 3 also illustrates the sewn edge 120 along the width of the bottom bedsheet 102 (and near the bottom end) so that the top bedsheet 104 is always joined together with the bottom bedsheet 102. Nonetheless, the connection between the top bedsheet 104 and the bottom bedsheet 102 does not need to be stitching and other suitable attachment means are also contemplated. For example, in other embodiments other connecting mechanism such as, but not limited to, hook and loop fasteners, zippers, buttons, snaps, removable adhesive, may also be used for attaching the top bedsheet 104 and the bottom bedsheet 102 along the edge 120.

Importantly, the bottom bedsheet 102 and the top bedsheet 104 may be made available in different sizes, configurations, designs and colors to accommodate user need and/or preference. Further, each of the bedsheets 102, 104 may further comprise a logo 109, indicia, trademark, geometric pattern, customizable color and/or font, embroidery, print, and/or image on, for example, its top surface. Each of the bedsheets 102, 104 may also be comprised of an antimicrobial coating 111 to prevent the transmission or spread of germs, bacteria, viruses, microbes and harmful particulates.

As previously stated, one or more side pockets 110 may be provided on one of the longitudinal side portions of the bottom bedsheet 102, and additional side pocket 110 may be provided on the other longitudinal side of the bottom bedsheet 102. Each of the side pockets 110 have an opening therein and are designed to allow a user to easily place or remove an object, such as a smartphone, tablet, medicine, eyeglasses, CPAP machine, etc., therefrom without the need for engagement or disengagement of a fastening member.

FIG. 4 illustrates a partial perspective view of one potential embodiment of the improved bedsheet system 100 of the present invention in accordance with the disclosed architecture, wherein the connection of the top bedsheet to the bottom bedsheet is clearly illustrated in sewn edge 120. As shown in this particular embodiment, the top bedsheet 104 is generally free from the bottom bedsheet 102 along three of its edges, but is fixedly attached to the bottom bedsheet 102 along the seam 120. Therefore, when the bottom bedsheet 102 is placed on a mattress and tucked underneath the same, the top bedsheet 104 is easily overlaid over the bottom bedsheet 102 with the connected edge fixed along the seam 120, and the other three sides covering the pillow pockets and lateral sides of the mattress (but not attached thereto). Notwithstanding, as previously noted, the stitched seam 120 may also extend partly along the longitudinal sides of the top and bottom bedsheets 104, 102.

FIG. 5 illustrates a perspective view of one potential embodiment of the improved bedsheet system 100 of the present invention in accordance with the disclosed architecture, wherein the bedsheet system 100 is installed on a mattress 500 on a bed 502. More specifically, the bottom sheet 102 completely covers the top and side surfaces of the mattress 500 with the side pockets 110 present immediately adjacent to the longitudinal sides of the mattress 500. Additionally, the top bedsheet 104 is placed over the bottom bedsheet 102 with a fixed side along the sewn edge 120. The dimensions of the top bedsheet 104 are such that the top bedsheet 104 covers the top surface of the mattress 500 along with partial coverage of the longitudinal sides of the mattress 500. The top sheet 104 may also be used to cover the pillow pockets 106, 108 in which the pillows 202, 204 are inserted for use. However, since the bottom bedsheet 102 is oversized, the bottom bedsheet 102 folds farther around the bottom of the mattress 500 for securement. While the seam 120 is present, it remains largely invisible when the top bedsheet 104 is overlaid on the bottom bedsheet 102 thereby providing aesthetic value to the user. In one embodiment of the seam 120, a pinch stitch is used for supplying added strength to the seam.
