Tuck sheet

Abstract

A tuck sheet in the form of a pocket closed at one end and open at an opposite end to receive a mattress or the like can comprise at least one fastener which is fastenable in at least two different positions to adjust a level of pressure exerted by the tuck sheet and/or wherein a first side of the pocket and a second side of the pocket can be of a different weightings, thicknesses, materials, compositions and/or tog ratings.

1 . A tuck sheet in the form of a pocket closed at one end and open at an opposite end to receive a mattress or the like, the tuck sheet comprising at least one fastener which is fastenable in at least two different positions to adjust a level of pressure exerted by the tuck sheet. 
     
     
         2 . The tuck sheet of  claim 1 , wherein a first side of the pocket is of a first weighting, thickness, material, composition and/or tog rating and a second side of the pocket is of a second weighting, thickness, material, composition and/or tog rating, wherein the first weighting, thickness, material, composition and/or tog rating is different from the second weighting, thickness, material, composition and/or tog rating. 
     
     
         3 . The tuck sheet of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one fastener is provided on the first side of the pocket, on the second side of the pocket, or on the first side of the pocket and on the second side of the pocket. 
     
     
         4 . The tuck sheet of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one fastener extends from the open end of the pocket at least part way down towards the closed end of the pocket. 
     
     
         5 . The tuck sheet of  claims 1 , wherein the at least one fastener extends from the open end of the pocket at least 80% of the way down towards the closed end of the pocket. 
     
     
         6 . The tuck sheet of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one first fastener is selected from the following: a zip or zipper, such as a two-way, open-end zipper; buttons and holes; hook and loop fasteners, such as Velcro®; press studs; poppers; toggles and loops. 
     
     
         7 . The tuck sheet of  claim 1 , wherein the tuck sheet comprises a fastener in the form of a zipper or zip comprising a first half zip on the first side of the pocket and a second half zip spaced apart from, and substantially parallel to, the first half-zip on the first side of the pocket, wherein closing or fastening of the zipper with the first half zip causes the tuck sheet to exert a first level of pressure and closing or fastening of the zipper with the second half zip causes the tuck sheet to exert a second level of pressure different from the first level of pressure. 
     
     
         8 . The tuck sheet of  claim 7 , wherein the tuck sheet comprises the same arrangement of zipper, first half zip and second half zip on the second side of the pocket. 
     
     
         9 . A tuck sheet in the form of a pocket closed at one end and open at an opposite end to receive a mattress or the like, wherein a first side of the pocket is of a first weighting, thickness, material, composition and/or tog rating and a second side of the pocket is of a second weighting, thickness, material, composition and/or tog rating, wherein the first weighting, thickness, material, composition and/or tog rating is different from the second weighting, thickness, material, composition and/or tog rating. 
     
     
         10 . The tuck sheet of  claim 9 , wherein the tuck sheet comprises at least one fastener which is fastenable in at least two different positions to adjust a level of pressure exerted by the tuck sheet. 
     
     
         11 . The tuck sheet of  claim 10 , wherein the at least one fastener is provided on the first side of the pocket, on the second side of the pocket, or on the first side of the pocket and on the second side of the pocket. 
     
     
         12 . The tuck sheet of  claim 10 , wherein the at least one fastener extends from the open end of the pocket at least part way down towards the closed end of the pocket. 
     
     
         13 . The tuck sheet of  claim 10 , wherein the at least one fastener extends from the open end of the pocket at least 80% of the way down towards the closed end of the pocket. 
     
     
         14 . The tuck sheet of  claim 10 , wherein the at least one first fastener is selected from the following: a zip or zipper, such as a two-way, open-end zipper;
 buttons and holes; hook and loop fasteners, such as Velcro®; press studs;   poppers; toggles and loops.   
     
     
         15 . The tuck sheet of  claim 9 , wherein the tuck sheet comprises a fastener in the form of a zipper or zip comprising a first half zip on the first side of the pocket and a second half zip spaced apart from, and substantially parallel to, the first half-zip on the first side of the pocket, wherein closing or fastening of the zipper with the first half zip causes the tuck sheet to exert a first level of pressure and closing or fastening of the zipper with the second half zip causes the tuck sheet to exert a second level of pressure different from the first level of pressure. 
     
     
         16 . The tuck sheet of  claim 15 , wherein the tuck sheet comprises the same arrangement of zipper, first half zip and second half zip on the second side of the pocket.
