Fitted sheet having utility pockets

Abstract

Some implementations can include a fitted bed sheet having a sheet body and a plurality of utility pockets formed on an exterior surface of the body of the fitted bed sheet. The pockets can include two pockets on each side of the bed sheet, and two pockets at each end (e.g., head and foot) of the bed sheet. The arrangement of pockets can be symmetrical across both a lengthwise axis and a widthwise axis so that the fitted bed sheet can be rotated 180 degrees from a first position to a second position with pockets in the same locations for both the first and second positions.

1 . A fitted bed sheet comprising:
 a sheet body; and   a plurality of utility pockets formed on an exterior surface of the sheet body, wherein the plurality of utility pockets are arranged to be symmetrical across both a lengthwise axis and a widthwise axis of the sheet body so that the fitted bed sheet can be rotated 180 degrees from a first position to a second position with pockets in the same locations at both the first position and the second position, and   wherein the plurality of pockets are attached directly to the sheet body and are not removable from the sheet body.   
     
     
         2 . The fitted bed sheet of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of utility pockets include two pockets disposed on each side of the sheet body, and two pockets disposed at each end of the sheet body. 
     
     
         3 . The fitted bed sheet of  claim 2 , wherein the plurality of utility pockets are constructed so as to be expandable. 
     
     
         4 . The fitted bed sheet of  claim 3 , wherein the utility pockets include a top closure. 
     
     
         5 . The fitted bed sheet of  claim 4 , wherein the top closure includes one or more of an elastic closure, a hook-and-loop closure, a zipper, a button, and a snap. 
     
     
         6 . The fitted bed sheet of  claim 5 , wherein utility pockets are about 10 to 12 inches in width and about 8 inches in height. 
     
     
         7 . The fitted bed sheet of  claim 6 , wherein each side pocket is formed about 18 inches from an adjacent end edge, and each end pocket is formed about 9 inches from an adjacent side edge. 
     
     
         8 . The fitted bed sheet of  claim 7 , wherein the utility pockets include more than two pockets on each end of the sheet body. 
     
     
         9 . The fitted bed sheet of  claim 8 , wherein the utility pockets include three pockets on each end of the sheet body, with one of the end pockets arranged to be centered on each respective end of the sheet body. 
     
     
         10 . The fitted bed sheet of  claim 1 , wherein the sheet body and the utility pockets are formed from one of a woven material or a knit material. 
     
     
         11 . The fitted bed sheet of  claim 10 , wherein the utility pockets are formed from a same material as the sheet body. 
     
     
         12 . The fitted bed sheet of  claim 10 , wherein the utility pockets are formed from a different material as the sheet body.
