Abstract

A covering system includes multiple sheets joined together at various peripheral sections to form a single cover. The system inhibits slippage by the individual sheets and prevents feet from sticking out. The system fits onto variously sized mattresses. A padded sheet engages the mattress, and includes a padded outer periphery. A fitted sheet overlays the padded sheet and includes a fitted inner periphery that forms a double stitch junction with the padded outer periphery. The junction is hidden to minimize contact with a user. Hidden zippers and buttons also form junctions thereto. A fitted outer periphery partially encapsulates the mattress. An external sheet overlays the fitted sheet and includes a protruding section that joins with the fitted sheet to form a constrained terminal configuration for inhibiting feet from extending out. An external head end can be folded back over the external sheet.
