BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(1) Field of the Invention

The disclosure relates to bedding devices and more particularly pertains to a new bedding device for providing secure bedding for an air mattress. The present device includes multiple interconnecting sheet pieces designed to leave the air pump exposed. There may also be a partially connected comforter.

The prior art relates to bedding devices. Known devices are often designed for traditional mattresses and do not accommodate inflation and deflation without removal. Known devices also typically lack interconnecting pieces and a partially connected comforter.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a bottom sheet comprising a bottom base panel having a bottom base foot edge, a bottom base head edge, a bottom base left edge, and a bottom base right edge. A bottom left side panel is coupled to the bottom base left edge of the bottom base panel. A bottom right side panel is coupled to the bottom base right edge of the bottom base panel. A bottom foot panel is coupled to the bottom base foot edge of the bottom base panel. The bottom foot panel has a left foot panel wing and a right foot panel wing. A plurality of bottom engagement members is coupled to the bottom left side panel, the bottom right side panel, the left foot panel wing, and the right foot panel wing. The bottom engagement members of the left foot panel wing and the right foot panel wing are selectively engageable with the bottom engagement members of the bottom left side panel and the bottom right side panel, respectively. A top sheet comprises a top base panel having a top base foot edge, a top base head edge, a top base left edge, and a top base right edge. A top left side panel is coupled to the top base left edge of the top base panel. A top right side panel is coupled to the top base right edge of the top base panel. A pair of top foot tabs is coupled to the top base foot edge. A plurality of top engagement members is coupled to the top left side panel, the top right side panel, and the pair of top foot tabs. The top engagement members are selectively engageable with the bottom engagement members to secure the top sheet to the bottom sheet. The top sheet and the bottom sheet are configured to fit an air mattress.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As best illustrated inFIGS. 1 through 9, the air mattress bedding apparatus10generally comprises a bottom sheet12comprising a bottom base panel14having a bottom base foot edge16, a bottom base head edge18, a bottom base left edge20, and a bottom base right edge22. A bottom left side panel24is coupled to the bottom base panel14. The bottom left side panel24is coupled to the bottom base left edge20. A bottom right side panel26is coupled to the bottom base panel14. The bottom right side panel26is coupled to the bottom base right edge22. A bottom foot panel28is coupled to the bottom base panel14. The bottom foot panel28is coupled to the bottom base foot edge16. The bottom foot panel28has a left foot panel wing30and a right foot panel wing32. The bottom foot panel28may have a pump aperture34configured to receive a pump36of an air mattress38.

The bottom sheet12is configured to fit and fold onto the air mattress38as shown inFIG. 4. The pump aperture34may accommodate the pump36when integrated into the air mattress38as seen inFIG. 4but may also accommodate the pump36when external and coupling to a fill valve. The pump aperture34allows for filling and deflation of the air mattress38without removing the apparatus10.

A plurality of bottom engagement members40is coupled to the bottom left side panel24, the bottom right side panel26, the left foot panel wing30, and the right foot panel wing32. The bottom engagement members40of the left foot panel wing30and the right foot panel wing32are selectively engageable with the bottom engagement members40of the bottom left side panel24and the bottom right side panel26, respectively, as shown inFIG. 9. The bottom engagement members40coupled to the bottom left side panel24and the bottom right side panel26may be arranged in a pair of inner rows42and a pair of outer rows44to accommodate different height air mattresses38as shown inFIGS. 5 and 9.

A top sheet46comprises a top base panel48having a top base foot edge50, a top base head edge52, a top base left edge54, and a top base right edge56. A sleeping bag58may be coupled to the top base panel48. The sleeping bag58is continuously coupled to the top base panel48and has a zippered access opening60. A top left side panel62is coupled to the top base left edge54. A top right side panel64is coupled to the top base right edge56. A pair of top foot tabs66is coupled to the top base foot edge50. The pair of top foot tabs66is lifted during installation (as shown inFIG. 5) and then folded over the bottom foot panel28(as shown inFIGS. 6 and 9).

A plurality of top engagement members68is coupled to the top left side panel62, the top right side panel64, and the pair of top foot tabs66. The top engagement members68are selectively engageable with the bottom engagement members40to secure the top sheet46to the bottom sheet12. The top sheet46and the bottom sheet12are configured to fit the air mattress38snuggly to prevent disengagement during use.

A back strap70has a plurality of strap engagement members72coupled proximal a strap left end74and a strap right end76. The plurality of strap engagement members72is selectively engageable with the bottom engagement members40of the bottom left side panel24and the bottom right side panel26as shown inFIG. 7.

A blanket78has a blanket base panel80, a blanket left side panel82, a blanket right side panel84, and a blanket foot panel86. The blanket78has a plurality of blanket engagement members88coupled to the blanket foot panel86and the blanket left side panel82and the blanket right side panel84proximal the blanket foot panel86to selectively engage the plurality of bottom engagement members40and partially fix the blanket78to the bottom sheet12.

A comforter90has a comforter base panel92, a comforter left side panel94, a comforter right side panel96, and a comforter foot panel98. The comforter90has a plurality of comforter engagement members100coupled to the comforter foot panel98and the comforter left side panel94and the comforter right side panel96proximal the comforter foot panel98to selectively engage the plurality of bottom engagement members40and partially fix the comforter90to the bottom sheet12on top of the blanket78.

The plurality of top engagement members68, the plurality of bottom engagement members40, the plurality of strap engagement members72, the plurality of blanket engagement members88, and the plurality of comforter engagement members100may be selectively engageable fasteners such as, but not limited to, buttons and button holes, hook-and-loop fasteners, snaps, and the like.

In use, the air mattress38is placed on top of the bottom sheet12. The bottom left side panel24and the bottom right side panel26are folded up and the top sheet46is placed on the air mattress38. The top left side panel62and the top right side panel64are engaged with the bottom left side panel24and the bottom right side panel26before the bottom foot panel28is folded up. The blanket78and the comforter90are then engaged if desired.
