Top sheet and bottom sheet combination bedclothing

Abstract

This patent discloses a bedding article having a lower sheet attached to an upper sheet. The lower sheet may include a support section surrounded by a foot panel, a head panel, a right panel, and a left panel. The foot panel may include a first notch and a second notch and the head panel may include a third notch and a fourth notch. An area between a first acute corner of the first notch and a second acute corner of the second notch may form a bend region. The upper sheet may include a top section and a warmth section, where the warmth section may be positioned between a bottom, a top, an upper right section, and an upper left section. The foot panel may be attached to the right panel and to the left panel. The head panel may be attached to the right panel and to the left panel. The bottom of the upper sheet between the upper right section and upper left section may be attached to the bend region of the lower sheet.
