Abstract:
A bed sheet attachment system, comprising:a plurality of sheet members, each sheet member having upper and lower surfaces, opposite head and foot ends and a pair of sides extending between said head and foot ends;said sheet members including a bottom sheet member, a top sheet member, a first middle sheet member, and a second middle sheet member;said bottom sheet member being adapted for covering a mattress, wherein said bottom sheet member is a fitted sheet;said top sheet member being generally rectangular, said lower surface of said top sheet member being for resting on the upper surface of another sheet member, wherein said top sheet member is a comforter;said first middle sheet member being generally rectangular, wherein said first middle sheet is a bed sheet;said a second middle sheet member being generally rectangular, wherein said second middle sheet member is a blanket, said first and second middle sheet members being for interposing between said top sheet member and said bottom sheet member;wherein said upper surface of said bottom sheet member is attachable to said lower surface of another sheet member;wherein said lower surface of said top sheet member is attachable to said lower surface of another sheet member;wherein said upper surface of said first middle sheet member is attachable to said lower surface of another sheet member and wherein said lower surface of said first middle sheet member is attachable to said upper surface of another sheet member;wherein said upper surface of said second middle sheet member is attachable to said lower surface of another sheet member, and wherein said lower surface of said second middle sheet member is attachable to said upper surface of another sheet member;a number of complementary elongate continuous first and second zipper portions, each first zipper portion being detachably attachable to a second zipper portion, each first and second zipper portion having a length;the upper surfaces of said bottom, first middle, and second middle sheet members each having a set of first zipper portions provided thereon, one first zipper portion of said set of first zipper portions being located adjacent to and spaced from said foot end of the associated sheet member and extending along a central extent of said foot end, another first zipper portion of said set of first zipper portions being located adjacent to and spaced from one of said sides of the associated sheet member, a third first zipper portion of said set of first zipper portions being located adjacent to and spaced from the other of said sides of the associated sheet member, wherein the length of said one first zipper portion of each set of first zipper portions is extended substantially parallel with the foot end of the associated sheet member, wherein the lengths of said another and third first zipper portions of each set of first zipper portions are extended substantially parallel with the sides of the associated sheet member;wherein each of said first zipper portions that is located adjacent to said foot end has a pair of terminal ends spaced from ends of said first zipper portions that are located adjacent to said sides of said sheet member;the lower surfaces of said top, first middle, and second middle sheet members each having a set of second zipper portions provided thereon, one second zipper portion of said set of second zipper portions being located adjacent to and spaced from said foot end of the associated sheet member, another second zipper portion of said set of second zipper portions being located adjacent to and spaced from one of said sides of the associated sheet member, a third second zipper portion of said set of second zipper portions being located adjacent to and spaced from the other of said sides of the associated sheet member, wherein the length of said one second zipper portion of each set of second zipper portions is extended substantially parallel with the foot end of the associated sheet member, wherein the lengths of said another and third second zipper portions of each set of second zipper portions are extended substantially parallel with the sides of the associated sheet member;wherein said zipper portion of said bottom sheet member is spaced from said head end of said bottom sheet member so that head ends of said first middle, second middle, and top sheet members may be spaced apart from said head end of said bottom sheet member;wherein said zipper portions of said top, first middle, and second middle sheet members extend to said heads of said top, first middle, and second middle sheet members, wherein said zipper portions of said top, first middle, and second middle sheet members have lengths substantially equal to that of the associated sheet member;wherein said bottom sheet member is removably positioned on a mattress to define a top face, a bottom face, and a peripheral side wall defined by four vertically oriented side wall portions, wherein the first zipper portions of said upper surface of said bottom sheet member are positioned on said upper surface of said bottom sheet member such that the same reside along lower edges of said side walls and adjacent to said bottom face;wherein a distance between said first zipper portions and said sides and said foot ends of each of said sheet members is unique in order to afford staggered overlapping of said sheet members;wherein said first zipper portions of said set of first zipper portions of said upper surface of said first middle and second middle sheet member are positioned spaced above from and parallel with said second zipper portions of said set of first zipper portions of said lower surface of said first middle and second middle sheet member, respectively; andwherein the first zipper portions of the set of first zipper portions of the upper surface of one of said sheet members are detachably attachable to the associated second zipper portions of the set of second zipper portions of the lower surface of an adjacent sheet member.
