Claim:
A fitted sheet system, comprising: a bottom sheet having right and left top corners, right, and left bottom corners, a pair of laterally extending edges defining a laterally extending head area and a laterally extending bottom foot area, and a pair of longitudinally extending edges; at least one cinching member connected to a bottom portion of the bottom sheet, the cinching member tightening the bottom sheet against a mattress when the sheet is disposed on the mattress; a vertical stitch line disposed at a predetermined position inward from a respective corner; excess material at the sheet corner being folded inward against the vertical stitch line, a portion of the excess sheet material being sewn to the stitch line, the sewn excess material to the vertical stitch line forming a right triangular shaped edge, hypotenuse of the right triangular shaped edge extending away from the vertical stitch line; the right triangular shaped edge being outwardly folded back across the vertical stitch line, wherein the hypotenuse edge is in a configuration that abuts sheet material along a side of the sheet as the hypotenuse edge extends inwardly intersecting the vertical stitch line, the hypotenuse edge material being sewn to the abutting side sheet material, wherein a hospital styled pocket is formed, the hospital styled pocket being adapted to receive a corresponding corner of a mattress onto which said bottom sheet is fittable; and a top sheet having a top lateral edge, a bottom lateral edge, a bunk-side longitudinal edge, an open longitudinal edge, the open longitudinal edge opposing the bunk-side longitudinal edge, the bunk-side longitudinal edge being sewn to a corresponding longitudinal edge of the bottom sheet, wherein the stitching extends from the bottom lateral area to a position adjacent the head area thereby defining an open foot area and an open head area, wherein the top sheet is sewn to the bottom sheet at a location parallel to the sewing at the longitudinal edges of the two sheets, thereby creating a pocket between the two sheets, the pocket being used to store a pillow case; and wherein a bottom sheet and top sheet in combination can be easily and neatly disposed on a bunk bed styled mattress.
