Fitted sheet having utility pockets

Abstract

Some implementations can include a fitted bed sheet having a sheet body and a plurality of utility pockets permanently attached to an exterior surface of the sheet body. The plurality of utility pockets can be arranged to be symmetrical across both a lengthwise axis and a widthwise axis of the sheet body. The plurality of utility pockets and the sheet body can form a single integrated unit. The plurality of utility pockets can also be configured to be not removable from the sheet body.

         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, and wherein the plurality of utility pockets and the sheet body form a single integrated unit, and wherein the plurality of utility pockets are configured to be permanently attached to the sheet body.   
     
     
         2 . The fitted bed sheet of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of utility pockets are located in a position on the fitted bed sheet with reference to a fixed point such that the plurality of utility pockets are located in the position on the fitted bed sheet with reference to the fixed point after the fitted bed sheet is rotated 180 degrees from an initial position to a rotated position. 
     
     
         3 . The fitted bed sheet of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of utility pockets include a first set of two utility pockets disposed on each side of the sheet body and a second set of two utility pockets disposed at each end of the sheet body. 
     
     
         4 . The fitted bed sheet of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of utility pockets are constructed so as to be expandable. 
     
     
         5 . The fitted bed sheet of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of utility pockets include a top closure. 
     
     
         6 . The fitted bed sheet of  claim 5 , wherein the top closure includes one or more of an elastic closure, a hook-and-loop closure, a zipper, a button, or a snap. 
     
     
         7 . The fitted bed sheet of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of utility pockets are about 10 to 12 inches in width and about 8 inches in height. 
     
     
         8 . The fitted bed sheet of  claim 3 , wherein the first set of two utility pockets disposed on each side of the sheet body is formed about 18 inches from a first set of adjacent end edges, and wherein the second set of two utility pockets disposed at each end of the sheet body is formed about 9 inches from a second set of adjacent side edges. 
     
     
         9 . The fitted bed sheet of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of utility pockets include two or more utility pockets at each end of the sheet body and two or more utility pockets on each side of the sheet body. 
     
     
         10 . The fitted bed sheet of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of utility pockets include a set of three utility pockets at each end of the sheet body, and wherein one of the plurality of utility pockets in the set of three utility pockets is centered on each respective end of the sheet body. 
     
     
         11 . The fitted bed sheet of  claim 1 , wherein the sheet body and the plurality of utility pockets are formed from one of a woven material or a knit material. 
     
     
         12 . The fitted bed sheet of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of utility pockets and the sheet body are formed of one material. 
     
     
         13 . The fitted bed sheet of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of utility pockets are formed from a first material and the sheet body is formed from a second material different from the first material. 
     
     
         14 . A method of forming a fitted bed sheet with a plurality of utility pockets, the method comprising:
 arranging a first set of utility pockets on each side of an exterior surface of a sheet body of the fitted bed sheet; and   arranging a second set of utility pockets at each end of the exterior surface of the sheet body of the fitted bed sheet, wherein the first set of utility pockets and the second set of utility pockets together comprise the plurality of utility pockets, and wherein the plurality of utility pockets are arranged to be symmetrical across both a lengthwise axis and a widthwise axis of the sheet body, and wherein the plurality of utility pockets and the sheet body form a single integrated unit, and wherein the plurality of utility pockets are configured to be not removable from the sheet body.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the plurality of utility pockets are constructed so as to be expandable. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the plurality of utility pockets include a top closure. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the top closure includes one or more of an elastic closure, a hook-and-loop closure, a zipper, a button, or a snap. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the plurality of utility pockets are about 10 to 12 inches in width and about 8 inches in height. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the plurality of utility pockets include two or more utility pockets at each end of the sheet body and two or more utility pockets on each side of the sheet body. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the plurality of utility pockets include a set of three utility pockets at each end of the sheet body, and wherein one of the utility pockets in the set of three utility pockets is centered on each respective end of the sheet body. 
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the sheet body and the plurality of utility pockets are formed from one of a woven material or a knit material. 
     
     
         22 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the plurality of utility pockets are formed from a first material and the sheet body is formed from a second material different from the first material
