Partial fitted sheet

Abstract

A method for covering an end of a mattress is provided. The method includes the step of providing a partial fitted sheet comprising a front panel and a back panel opposite the front panel, each panel including a top edge, a bottom edge, a right edge, and a left edge. The top edges, the bottom edges, the right edges, and the left edges of the front panel and the back panel are connected, and the bottom edges remain separated to form an opening. The method further includes the steps of receiving an end of the mattress through the opening; positioning the end of the mattress near the top edges of the front and back panels of the partial fitted sheet; and pulling the bottom edges of the partial fitted sheet along the mattress away from the top edges.
