Non-slip three sided bed skirt

Abstract

Non-slip three sided bed skirt is disclosed. The bed skirt comprises the combination of an elongate, planar non-slip material interposable between a box spring and a mattress long a peripheral edge thereof and a layer of decorative textile/fabric depending from one side thereof extending outwardly from the mattress and box spring. Typically, three segments of non-slip material and decorative textile attached thereto are attached to form a three sided bed skirt to fit conventional bedding, although other shapes and sizes are contemplated. The non-slip material is formed from a polymer designed to remain securely in position. The fabric is cut to form a desired length to accommodate a specific box spring size.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A bed skirt comprising:
 an elongate, planar segment of non-slip material interposable between an upper surface of a box spring and a mattress, said non-slip material being designed to be interposed along and contiguous with a peripheral edge of said box spring;   a decorative textile attached along the length of said non-slip material along the peripheral edge thereof and extending downwardly along the length of said box spring when said non-slip material is interposed between said upper surface of said box spring and said mattress along said peripheral edge of said box spring.   
     
     
         2 . The bed skirt of  claim 1  wherein said non-slip material comprises polyvinyl chloride and has a width sufficient to retain said bed skirt in position when interposed between said mattress and box spring. 
     
     
         3 . The bed skirt of  claim 1  wherein said non-slip material comprises polyvinyl chloride and has a width of from 2-17 inches. 
     
     
         4 . The bed skirt of  claim 3  wherein said non-slip material comprises polyvinyl chloride and has a width of at least 4 inches. 
     
     
         5 . The bed skirt of  claim 3  wherein said non-slip material comprises polyvinyl chloride and has a width of at least 6 inches. 
     
     
         6 . The bed skirt of  claim 3  wherein said decorative textile is sewn to said non-slip material. 
     
     
         7 . The bed skirt of  claim 4  further comprising a hook member affixed to the underside of said non-slip material for engaging and interconnecting with said upper surface of said box spring when said non-slip material is interposed between said mattress and said box spring. 
     
     
         8 . A bed skirt comprising first, second and third segments cooperating to define a generally “U” shape, said respective one of said segments being defined by a elongate, planar segment of non-slip material interposable between a conventional rectangular box spring and a mattress along a peripheral edge thereof, said non-slip material having a decorative textile affixed thereto and operative to extend over said box spring when said non-slip material is interposed between said box spring and said mattress along a peripheral edge thereof, each respective segment being sized and configured to extend along a dedicated side of said box spring such that three of said four sides of said conventional rectangular box spring have said decorative textile segments extending thereover. 
     
     
         9 . The bed skirt of  claim 8  wherein said non-slip material is fabricated from PVC. 
     
     
         10 . The bed skirt of  claim 8  wherein said decorative textile is attached to said PVC non-slip material. 
     
     
         11 . The bed skirt of  claim 10  wherein each of said first segment, said second segment and said third segment of said bed skirt assume a generally inverted “L” shape when said non-slip material is interposed between said box spring or mattress along a peripheral edge thereof. 
     
     
         12 . The bed skirt of  claim 10  wherein said first and third segments of said bed skirt extend distally to the head of said bed when said non-slip material is interposed between said box spring and said mattress. 
     
     
         13 . The bed skirt of  claim 12  wherein said distal ends of said first and said third segments are provided with a hook material operative to engage with said upper surface of said box spring so as to facilitate the ability of said bed skirt to remain secured into position when positioned upon said box spring.
