Bed Linen with Pocket Caddy

Abstract

The device relates to bed linen ( 100 ) to which a pocket caddy ( 300 ) may be either permanently attached or fastened/unfastened. The bed linen ( 100 ) has cornered edges that can be easily fastened and unfastened using edge fastening means ( 200 ). Three types of pocket caddies are presented that allow bed linen to store objects: a directly attached pocket caddy ( 310 ), a back wall pocket caddy ( 320 ), and a detachable pocket caddy ( 330 ). The pocket caddies ( 300 ) can either be permanently attached to the bed linen ( 100 ) or be fastened/unfastened by the use of pocket caddy fastening means ( 220 ). The bed linen ( 100 ) may be custom fit by the use of detachable extensions ( 350 ). The pocket caddies can be made for a non-permeable material, which prevents soilage of the the bed linen ( 100 ) when solids and liquids are present in the pocket caddy ( 300 ).
