Mattress Encasing Bedsheet

Abstract

The present invention relates to a foldable pocket bedsheet for enclosing a mattress. The foldable pocket bedsheet features a pocket-like body and is configured to slide over a mattress. More specifically, the foldable pocket bedsheet comprises a top panel, a bottom panel, a pair of opposing side panels and a foot panel collectively defining a cavity for enclosing the mattress. The foldable pocket bedsheet further comprises at least one internal fabric handle and multiple exterior handles that allow the foldable pocket bedsheet to be easily folded, utilized, and/or transported.

 a top panel;   a bottom panel;   a pair of opposing side panels; and   a foot panel, wherein the top panel, the bottom panel, the pair of opposing side panels, and the foot panel form a cavity, and further wherein a mattress is directly inserted into the cavity, such that the mattress encasing bedsheet device securely encapsulates the mattress.   
     
     
         2 . The mattress-encasing bedsheet device of  claim 1 , wherein the pair of opposing side panels comprise a right side panel and a left side panel. 
     
     
         3 . The mattress-encasing bedsheet device of  claim 2 , wherein once the mattress encasing bedsheet device is secured on the mattress, the top panel contacts a top surface of the mattress and the bottom panel contacts a bottom surface of the mattress. 
     
     
         4 . The mattress-encasing bedsheet device of  claim 3 , wherein once the mattress encasing bedsheet device is secured on the mattress, the left side panel contacts a left side surface of the mattress, the right side panel contacts a right side surface of the mattress, and the foot panel contacts a foot surface of the mattress. 
     
     
         5 . The mattress-encasing bedsheet device of  claim 4 , wherein the cavity comprises an opening for inserting the mattress. 
     
     
         6 . The mattress-encasing bedsheet device of  claim 5 , wherein the opening comprises a perimeter edge. 
     
     
         7 . The mattress-encasing bedsheet device of  claim 6 , wherein the perimeter edge comprises an elasticized edging which acts to form fit and secure the mattress encasing bedsheet device on the mattress. 
     
     
         8 . The mattress-encasing bedsheet device of  claim 6 , wherein the perimeter edge comprises hook and loop fasteners to completely secure the mattress encasing bedsheet device around the mattress. 
     
     
         9 . The mattress-encasing bedsheet device of  claim 6 , wherein the perimeter edge comprises a zipper to completely secure the mattress encasing bedsheet device around the mattress. 
     
     
         10 . The mattress-encasing bedsheet device of  claim 1 , wherein a brand logo is secured near the foot panel for displaying a company logo. 
     
     
         11 . The mattress-encasing bedsheet device of  claim 1  further comprising a plurality of exterior handles sewn onto an exterior of the mattress encasing bedsheet device. 
     
     
         12 . The mattress-encasing bedsheet device of  claim 11  further comprising an interior handle sewn onto an interior of the mattress encasing bedsheet device. 
     
     
         13 . The mattress-encasing bedsheet device of  claim 12 , wherein the mattress encasing bedsheet device is folded in half along a virtual lateral central axis. 
     
     
         14 . The mattress-encasing bedsheet device of  claim 13 , wherein the plurality of exterior handles and the interior handle allow the mattress encasing bedsheet device to be easily transported when folded. 
     
     
         15 . A mattress-encasing bedsheet device that securely encapsulates a mattress and remains in place without slipping off the mattress, the mattress-encasing bedsheet device comprising:
 a top panel;   a bottom panel;   a right side panel;   a left side panel; and   a foot panel, wherein the top panel, the bottom panel, the right side panel, the left side panel, and the foot panel form a cavity which comprises an opening with an elasticized perimeter edging for securing around a mattress, and further wherein the mattress is directly inserted through the opening into the cavity, such that the mattress encasing bedsheet device securely encapsulates the mattress.   
     
     
         16 . The mattress-encasing bedsheet device of  claim 15 , wherein once the mattress encasing bedsheet device is secured on the mattress, the top panel contacts a top surface of the mattress, the bottom panel contacts a bottom surface of the mattress, the left side panel contacts a left side surface of the mattress, the right side panel contacts a right side surface of the mattress, and the foot panel contacts a foot surface of the mattress. 
     
     
         17 . The mattress-encasing bedsheet device of  claim 16  further comprising a plurality of exterior handles sewn onto an exterior of the mattress encasing bedsheet device. 
     
     
         18 . The mattress-encasing bedsheet device of  claim 17  further comprising an interior handle sewn onto an interior of the mattress encasing bedsheet device. 
     
     
         19 . The mattress-encasing bedsheet device of  claim 18 , wherein the mattress encasing bedsheet device is folded in half along a virtual lateral central axis. 
     
     
         20 . A method for securely encapsulating a mattress comprising:
 inserting a mattress into an opening of a cavity of a mattress-encasing bedsheet device,   wherein the cavity and the opening are collectively formed by a top panel, a bottom panel, a pair of opposing side panels and a foot panel.
