Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a self-forming mattress cover, wherein a cushioned quilt is attached to a mattress using a gusset with a drawstring, and wherein said gusset conforms to corner positions of said mattress and ensures proper alignment between said mattress and said cushioned quilt, the method comprising: providing said gusset integral with said mattress cover wherein said mattress cover includes a border and a base, said border forms an exterior surface enclosing four sides of said mattress and is attached along a first edge to said base, and said base forms an exterior surface enclosing a bottom of said mattress, wherein said gusset extends from said mattress border and away from said bottom of said mattress, said gusset including, inducing tension in said drawstring via said pair of ends of said drawstring, thereby drawing said fold location of said gusset inward away from said four sides of said mattress; securing said pair of ends of said drawstring to maintain tension; folding said gusset at said fold location such that said second portion lies above said first portion; attaching a cushioned quilt to said gusset along said free second edge.
