         4 . The bed cover system of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a third interconnecting component disposed along the bottom side and each lateral side of the first connecting cover; and   a second connecting cover having a substantially rectangular shape and a perimeter, the perimeter having a pair of lateral sides, a top side and a bottom side, the second connecting cover including:   a fourth interconnecting component disposed along the bottom side and each lateral side of the second connecting cover;   wherein the fourth interconnecting component is adapted for selective detachable interconnection with the third interconnecting component to provide a detachable attachment between the second connecting cover and the first connecting cover.   
     
     
         5 . The bed cover system of  claim 1 , wherein the first interconnecting component is disposed along the complete perimeter of the sleeping surface and the second interconnecting component is disposed along the complete perimeter the first connecting cover, and wherein the bed cover system further comprises:
 a third interconnecting component disposed along the bottom side and a portion of each lateral side of the perimeter of the first connecting cover; and   a second connecting cover having a substantially rectangular shape and a perimeter, the perimeter having a pair of lateral sides, a top side and a bottom side, the second connecting cover including:   a fourth interconnecting component disposed along the bottom side and each lateral side of the second connecting cover;   wherein the fourth interconnecting component is adapted for selective detachable interconnection with the third interconnecting component to provide a detachable attachment between the second connecting cover and the first connecting cover.   
     
     
         6 . The bed cover system of  claim 1 , wherein the first interconnecting component is disposed along the complete perimeter of the sleeping surface and the second interconnecting component is disposed along the complete perimeter the first connecting cover, and wherein the bed cover system further comprises:
 a third interconnecting component disposed along the bottom side and a portion of each lateral side of the perimeter of the fitted foundation; and   a second connecting cover having a substantially rectangular shape and a perimeter, the perimeter having a pair of lateral sides, a top side and a bottom side, the second connecting cover including:   a fourth interconnecting component disposed along the bottom side and each lateral side of the second connecting cover;   wherein the fourth interconnecting component is adapted for selective detachable interconnection with the third interconnecting component to provide a detachable attachment between the second connecting cover and the fitted foundation.   
     
     
         7 . The bed cover system of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second interconnecting components include at least one of:
 a zipper;   a plurality of snaps;   a plurality of buttons; and   a velcro connection.   
     
     
         8 . The bed cover system of  claim 4 , wherein a surface of the second connecting cover includes a decorative pattern. 
     
     
         9 . The bed cover system of  claim 1 , wherein the fitted foundation is adapted to be fit on at least one of:
 a single mattress;   a twin mattress;   a double mattress;   a queen mattress;   a king mattress; and   a bunk bed mattress.   
     
     
         10 . The bed cover system of  claim 1 , wherein the fitted foundation, the first connecting cover, and the second connecting cover include at least one of:
