Abstract: A bedskirt assembly made up of a non-slip grip deck made from non-slip fabric with releasable fasteners. The grip deck is installed between the mattress and box springs of the bed and stabilizes the location of the mattress relative to the box springs and provides for easy attachment of segments of skirting, in one panel or several panels. The position of the panels is adjustable for height and length and to suit individual bedframes. The skirt panels can be quickly and easily removed and replaced without having to remove the mattress from the box springs.

Abstract: A quick sealing pillow cover, which is an improvement over U.S. Pat. No. 4,144,603, is provided with retainer portions in the one open edge and hook and loop closure, such as Velcro, on the inside flaps of the opening forming the open edge. Quick sealing is accomplished merely by, simultaneously pulling the corners of the retainer portions on the side with the opening in opposite directions with just one snap of the wrists. The pillow is retained in the cover without slipping out even during vigorous physical activity by the user. With the pillow removed and the pillow cover sealed, the hook and loop closure means provides sufficient rigidity to the pillow cover that the physical symmetry of the pillow cover during washing and drying or cleaning cycles is maintained and the cover may be reused without pressing (ironing) or folding.
