Abstract

An integrated sheet stay system suitable for maintaining a mattress cover in position is presented. The system includes a mattress cover. The mattress cover positionable on a mattress. The system also includes at least one strap wherein the at least one strap connects opposing sides of the mattress cover on an underside of the mattress and wherein the mattress cover and the at least one strap form a unitary piece. An integrated sheet stay system suitable for maintaining a bed top sheet in position is presented. The system includes a bed top sheet. The bed top sheet positionable on a mattress and/or mattress cover. The system also includes at least one strap wherein the at least one strap connects opposing sides of the bed top sheet on an underside of the mattress and wherein the bed top sheet and the at least one strap form a unitary piece.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An integrated sheet stay system suitable for maintaining a mattress cover in position comprising:
 a mattress cover;   the mattress cover positionable on a mattress;   at least one strap, wherein the at least one strap connects opposing sides of the mattress cover on an underside of the mattress and wherein the mattress cover and the at least one strap form an integral unitary piece.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising at least one tapered strap. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising at least one pair of crisscross straps. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising at least one strap positionable near a foot of the mattress and at least another strap positionable near a head of the mattress. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising at least one enhanced friction strap, the at least one enhanced friction strap including a side with high static friction nubs and another side with a low static friction coating. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the at least one strap is sewn into the mattress cover. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1  wherein the at least one strap and the at least another strap includes elastic material. 
     
     
         8 . An integrated sheet stay system suitable for maintaining a bed top sheet in position comprising:
 a bed top sheet;   the bed top sheet positionable on a mattress cover and/or a mattress;   at least one strap, wherein, the at least one strap connects opposing sides of the top sheet on an underside of the mattress and wherein the bed top sheet and the at least one strap form an integral unitary piece.   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8  further comprising at least one tapered strap. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 8  further comprising at least one pair of crisscross straps. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 8  further comprising at least one strap positionable near a foot of the mattress and at least another strap positionable near a head of the mattress. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 8  further comprising at least one enhanced friction strap, the at least one enhanced friction strap including a side with high static friction nubs and another side with a low static friction coating. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 8  wherein the at least one strap is sewn into the bed top sheet. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 8  wherein the at least one strap and the at least another strap includes elastic material.
