Patent ID: 8607382

Claim:
A method of making a pillow holder for use with a mattress and a pillow, the mattress having an upper end, comprising the steps of: a) providing a sheet of material having first and second opposing ends, first and second opposing sides, and upper and lower surfaces, the sheet being substantially rectangular; b) providing a fold line extending transversely across the sheet from the first side to the second side of the sheet, the fold line being disposed about ⅓ of the distance from the second end to the first end as measured from the second end, wherein the fold line is formed when the second end of the sheet is folded back toward the first end of the sheet so that an enclosure is formed for removably receiving the pillow therein, the enclosure having upper and lower facing surfaces; c) providing strips of mating hook and loop material being disposed on each first and second side of the inner surface of the upper and lower facing surfaces of the enclosure for removably joining the sides of the enclosure so that the pillow can be removably disposed in the enclosure, the strips on both facing surfaces terminating at one end of the strips adjacent the second end of the sheet when folded and spaced from said fold line so that the second end of the sheet substantially closes off an open end of the enclosure with the pillow enclosed without use of closure material along the second end of the sheet and between the strips, whereby said enclosure is adapted to receive said pillow when said second end of the sheet is folded back toward the first end of the sheet; d) providing first and second straps extending laterally from the first and second sides of the sheet not attached to the enclosure, each strap having an end thereon, each end having a piece of hook and loop material thereon the first and second straps being disposed adjacent the first end of the sheet so that when the first end of the sheet wraps around the upper end of the mattress so as to encompass part of the mattress, the first and second straps are disposed proximate to the first end of the sheet; and, e) providing a piece of hook and loop material being disposed on each corner of the upper surface of the first end of the sheet so that when the first end of the sheet wraps around the upper end of the mattress so as to encompass part of the mattress the second and third pieces of hook and loop material mate to each other and the first and second straps are disposed over the sides of the mattress so as to removably secure the sheet to the mattress.
