Moisture management bed sheet

Abstract

A moisture management bed sheet for providing enhance moisture wicking properties without compromising structural strength may define a moisture wicking top sheet or a moisture wicking bottom sheet includes a frame portion disposed around the perimeter, a body portion of moisture wicking material, and a plurality of internal supports which attached to the frame portion and pass through the body portion. The body portion, which forms the primary covering (or laying) area under where a user would typically be when positioned on a mattress, is constructed of a conventional wicking fabric material. As the wicking fabric material may have a decreased tensile strength than conventional bed sheet materials, the frame portion and internal supports are operative to enhance the structural strength of the moisture management bed sheet.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A moisture management bed sheet, comprising:
 a sheet body having a frame portion, a body portion and at least one internal support;   said frame portion defining a contiguous perimeter of the sheet body which is constructed of a natural woven fabric;   said body portion fully contained by the contiguous perimeter formed by said frame portion and constructed of a wicking fabric material having a first side and an opposing second side and which is woven such that moisture which contacts the first side is forced into and through gaps in the weave towards the second side; and   said at least one internal support defining an elongated support connected at each end to the frame portion, extending across the body portion, and constructed of a natural woven fabric.   
     
     
         2 . The moisture management bed sheet of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one internal support extends linearly through said body portion. 
     
     
         3 . The moisture management bed sheet of  claim 2 , wherein said sheet body includes a plurality of internal supports. 
     
     
         4 . The moisture management bed sheet of  claim 3 , wherein said internal supports internal supports intersect while extending through said body portion. 
     
     
         5 . The moisture management bed sheet of  claim 1 , wherein said sheet body includes a plurality of internal supports. 
     
     
         6 . The moisture management bed sheet of  claim 5 , wherein said internal supports internal supports intersect while extending through said body portion. 
     
     
         7 . The moisture management bed sheet of  claim 1 , wherein said frame portion includes at least one elastic fitting element.
